A LPG carrier on long-term charter to commodities trader Trammo has pulled off the dramatic rescue of three people adrift in the Pacific Ocean.

The crew of the 35,217-cbm Sylvie (built 2007) are said to have spotted an unidentifiable object some 200 miles off the coast of Costa Rica.

“After tracking it with binoculars the vessel's crew observed movements which looked like people waving their hands,” a Trammo official tells TradeWinds.
