No regrets for Tampa captain
(The Sydney Morning Herald)
September 6, 2001
Captain of the MS Tampa Arne Rinnan would go to the rescue of a distressed ship again despite frustration at Australia's handling of the asylum seeker crisis.
Capt Rinnan and his Norwegian cargo ship spent eight days stranded off Christmas Island with more than 430 boat people onboard after he plucked them from a sinking Indonesian ferry on August 26.
