The award was presented by Mr. Andreas Nordseth, Director General of the Danish Maritime Authority, during a ceremony at Maersk's headquarters in Copenhagen this week.
On January 19, 2024, while en route from Port Said to London, the Maersk Brownsville responded to a distress call and successfully rescued 41 people in peril at sea. The swift and decisive actions of Captain Tijssen and his crew are hailed as a shining example of extraordinary seamanship.
The recognition highlights the crew's embodiment of Maersk's core values and their commitment to maritime safety and humanitarian efforts.
