The Seatrade Maritime Events recognises the very best of maritime success from across the Middle East, Indian subcontinent and Africa.
The award recognised the efforts made by Fayiz Al Junaibi to save the lives of the sunken ship’s crew, near the coast of Al Jazer last month, when the ship ran into trouble and started to sink.
The crew had sent a May Day message and Al Junaibi took his and another fishing boat on a 25-minute rescue mission, saving all the 20 crew members of the ship.
