On 12.02.2026, our vessel M/T GOLDEN BANYAN successfully conducted a joint Search and Rescue exercise in cooperation with a UK Coastguard helicopter unit.
The drill was carried out in a safe and controlled manner, fully compliant with established maritime safety procedures and operational protocols. Throughout the exercise, communication and coordination between the vessel’s crew and the helicopter team were clear, efficient, and professional.
The scenario included simulated emergency response procedures, helicopter approach and winching operations, and onboard coordination measures designed to test readiness and teamwork under realistic conditions. All drill objectives were successfully achieved, demonstrating the crew’s preparedness, competence, and commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety at sea.
We extend our appreciation to the UK Coastguard team for their excellent cooperation and professionalism during the exercise.
This exercise reinforces our company’s ongoing dedication to operational excellence, continuous training, and the safety of our personnel and vessels at all times.
