Read Authentic Ratings for the Devbulk-Saliha

In a remarkable display of bravery and seamanship, the bulk carrier Lady Saliha salvaged the crew of a struggling sailing vessel off the Florida coast. Setting sail from Philadelphia on November 16, 2014, the Lady Saliha was en route to New Orleans with an estimated arrival on November 22 when a distress call from the U.S. Coast Guard alerted them to the catamaran Pavana, which was in peril approximately 20 kilometers away. At that moment, the bulk carrier was about 370 kilometers from Florida’s coastline. Without hesitation, the crew of the Lady Saliha altered their course and swiftly reached the stranded sailing boat within an hour. Three passengers were safely transferred to the bulk carrier, although multiple attempts to salvage the Pavana were regrettably unsuccessful. The rescued catamaran crew disembarked safely in New Orleans on November 22. For more detailed coverage and photographs, visit the Turkish News site.
