CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Horizon Lines, Inc., (NYSE: HRZ), the nation's leading domestic ocean shipping and integrated logistics company, has been recognized for outstanding achievements in ship safety by the Chamber of Shipping of America (CSA) at the Annual Safety Awards Luncheon held at the Westin Oaks Hotel in Houston.
The CSA-sponsored Ship Safety Achievement Award program recognizes outstanding feats of safety that contribute to saving a life, a ship or other property. This year, the Highest Honors award went to the Horizon Falcon in recognition of the crew's extraordinary courage and superior seamanship, without regard to their personal safety in adverse weather conditions, when they successfully rescued Chinese crewmembers of the capsized vessel HAI TONG 7 northwest of Guam last July.
Three additional Horizon Lines vessels were presented Devlin Awards, which signify two or more years of injury-free operations. The vessels honored are the Horizon Spirit (5 years injury-free); the USNS Bruce Heezen (3 years injury-free); and the Horizon Pacific (2 years injury-free).
Speaking at the luncheon, Joseph J. Cox, CSA President, said: "CSA's involvement in safety is longstanding. We continue to represent the industry, domestically and internationally, on safety issues encompassing every facet of ship operations. It is therefore only fitting that an industry so focused on safety publicly recognizes the skills and dedication of the women and men who are responsible for actions in keeping with the highest traditions of the sea - aid to those in peril."
John V. Keenan, President of Horizon Lines, LLC, stated: "Safety is a crucial element of our operations and we are proud of our vessel officers and crews for their fortitude and commitment to safety at sea."
