SPT continues to set new records for our safety performance.  On June 2^nd, four Lightering Support Vessels received the prestigious Devlin Award issued by the Chamber of Shipping of America. Devlin Award Certificates are awarded to all self-propelled merchant vessels that have operated for two full years or more without a crew member losing a full turn at watch because of an occupational injury. Three levels of achievement are recognized: a basic two-year award; a three year award; and a four-year award. A special award is given annually to ships with five or more years of accident-free operation. To qualify for a Devlin Award Certificate, a vessel must be in operation with a full crew. Days in protracted lay-up resulting in crew reduction are not considered days in operation.

The vessels receiving the award were the SPT Protector, SPT Defender, SPT Guardian and SPT Vigilance. 

This recognition is the result of the hard work and dedication of all of our offshore and shore-side support staff.  I thank each and every one of the team for your contribution to our continued success in safety performance.   With your help and support we can look forward to celebrating many more successes.
