| 摘要： | The American Waterways Operators announced the inaugural awardees of its brand-new Honor and Excellence in Rescue Operations (HERO) Award, to "document and recognize rescues undertaken by AWO member company employees that demonstrate selflessness, skill and bravery." The AWO announced the awardees March 1 at its Operators Winter Safety Meeting in Houston, Texas. Qualifying events for the award include rescuing commercial or recreational mariners; responding to a medical emergency onboard; recovering a person who has fallen overboard; responding to a person in distress while traveling to/from the boat; and "other selfless service actions that reflect the safety culture of the American tugboat, towboat and barge industry." The first American Waterways HERO awardees include six vessel crews employed by three different AWO member companies: 1. the crew aboard mv. Ron Cal-legan, American Commercial Barge Line, for rescuing a crew member from a fall overboard near the Plaquemine, La., ferry; 2. the crew aboard mv. Safety Explorer, American Commercial Barge line, for rescuing a crew member who had fallen overboard from another vessel; 3. the crew working for Great Lakes Dredge and Dock LLC who, while working on the Houston Ship Channel Project, rescued three civilians from the water after their boat caught fire; 4. the crew aboard mv. Mary K. Cavarra, Ingram Barge Company, for rescuing a person in the water near the St. Paul City Front; 5. the crew aboard mv. Michael J. Granger, Ingram Barge Company, for rescuing a distressed automobile driv- er who had entered the water near Pa-ducah, Ky.; and 6. the crew aboard mv. Midland, Ingram Barge Company, who responded to a health emergency on their vessel, rendering immediate care and supporting an airlift evacuation on the Illinois River. |
