It's a great honor for me to receive this re日本 カジノgnition from the IMO on behalf of the entire crew of Helios Leader. It was indeed a challenging operation due to the number of survivors involved (303, including women and children) and the adverse weather we experienced. I am glad that in the true NYK spirit of ensuring the safety of life at sea, we were able to successfully 日本 カジノmplete the rescue without the loss of a single life or injury to my brave crew.
