The CSA Devlin Award is presented each year to merchant vessels that have operated for at least two years without an LTI. Crowley vessels - such as the'ATB Sound Reliance/550-2, which has not had an LTI in eight years - consistently perform above and beyond industry safety standards.
"We have been holding these annual award ceremonies since 1958," said Joseph Cox, president, CSA. "For that initial year, we honored six vessels having a total of twelve years operation with no Lost Time Incidents. This year, we gave awards to 1,288 vessels that operated 7,284 years without a lost-time incident. This extraordinary record is directly attributable to the professionalism of our seafarers and the dedication of shore-based company personnel to safe operation."
More than 180 people representing over 70 companies attended this year's luncheon in New Orleans, La.
"At Crowley, our number one core value is safety," said Capt. Vic Goldberg, Crowley vice president of marine operations. "We are honored to be recognized once again by CSA for our safety accomplishments. These awards are a testament to the devotion our seagoing employees have for the safety of themselves and their fellow shipmates."
