The master of one of the ships that helped save the crew of the Sincerity Ace has provided a dramatic account of the operation.

The crew of the Central Gulf Lines’ 5,600-ceu car carrier Green Lake (built 1998) managed to rescue seven of the 16 crew eventually plucked from the Pacific.

“The entire crew did a truly incredible job under extreme conditions,” Captain William Boyce told the International Organization of Masters, Mates & Pilots (MM&P) weekly newsletter.
