Bravery of Costa Concordia Crew Highlighted at Lloyd’s List Awards
The "bravery and professionalism" of the crew of the Costa Concordia cruise ship which struck a reef off the Italian coast earlier this year was cited by Lloyd’s Register’s David Barrow at the Lloyd’s List Global Awards in London last night.
Presenting the crew with the Seafarer of the Year Award, sponsored by Lloyd’s Register, Barrow, LR’s Marine Business Manager UK, Ireland and SW Europe, said while the "tragic loss of life caused by this regrettable incident will rightly be the subject of forensic investigations for some time to come, it should not be forgotten that without the skilled response of the majority of the crew, the loss of life could have been far higher".
