Captain Cecil “Cess” Smylie, former manager at the Fairdeal Group and head of the Honourable Company of Master Mariners, died on 7 February in his home in Comrie, Scotland, aged 83.
“‘Big man, big loss’ is a trite and inadequate description of the loss of Cess,” tanker operator Fairdeal said in a statement announcing the death of Smylie, who was managing director of its London affiliate.
