Horizon Lines, a U.S. domestic ocean shipping company, was recognized by the Chamber of Shipping of America (CSA) for its safety record, as well as for the rescue earlier this year of three stranded sailors by the Horizon Reliance.
CSA recently presented six Horizon Lines vessels and their crews with the 2011 Jones F. Devlin Award for safety at its 2012 Annual Safety Awards. Together, these vessels have logged 18 years without a crewmember losing a full turn at watch because of an occupational injury, reflecting Horizon Lines’ long-standing commitment to safety.
In addition, Capt. James J. Kelleher and the crew of the Horizon Reliance were presented with the CSA’s Top Honor Safety Achievement Award for the rescue of three persons from a foundering sailboat during a nighttime storm 400 miles east of Honolulu in February.
“The goal at Horizon Lines is zero unsafe behaviors,” said Pete Strohla, vice president and general manager of Horizon Lines’ Ocean Transportation Services group, in a statement.
