The rescue of all 22 crew members of a foundering ship, carried out in difficult conditions in the Arabian Sea, has earned the master and crew of the VLCC Osprey a certificate of commendation from the register's maritime administrator for "outstanding seamanship and courage". The Osprey, a Marshall Islands registered, 1999 built double-hull tanker of 284,893 dwt, is operated by International Marine Transportation Ltd., an Exxon Mobil Corporation subsidiary company and is manned by British officers and a Filipino crew. Her master is Captain Stephen Williams. "Captain Williams and his crew did a magnificent job in difficult conditions", said William Gallagher, president of International Registries, Inc., which runs the Marshall Islands register.
