An Indian master who spotted and rescued two drifting French fishermen has scooped the industry's top individual bravery award for 2018.
Captain Siddarth Sharma was honoured by the International Maritime Rescue Federation (IMRF) for his actions.
His 1,900-gt integrated tug-barge Astal-Lorida (built 1977), operated by Trinitas Ship Management, was en route from New Orleans to be scrapped in Gadani, Pakistan.
