On March 13th, the Emerald Spirit was called into action to rescue four sailors onboard a boat in distress.
The Emerald Spirit was swift to respond to a call from the US Coast Guard off the coast of Ecuador. Upon arrival, the crew took careful measures to assess the situation and complete a successful rescue of all four sailors. Medical assistance, food, and accommodation were provided to the sailors as the vessel proceeded to Ecuador to safely disembark the sailors.
It was an excellent display of teamwork and compassion by the entire team on board, right from executing the rescue operation to tending to the survivors in these challenging times. For officers and crew, feeling of saving lives out at sea had been a gratifying experience.Captain Siddarth Deoli, Master, Emerald Spirit
