The Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) of Singapore has announced that the Thome Group has won its “Outstanding Contribution to Search and Rescue Efforts in 2020” award as part of the Authority’s International Safety@Sea Awards 2021. The MPA of Singapore was impressed with Thome’s rescue operation involving one of its managed vessels, KSL Santiago.
