  • Lloyd's Open Form, 100 years young
    IT HAS been a stormy few days around the coasts of northern Europe and several ships have got into trouble.

Once again, helicopters from the UK and Ireland demonstrated their ability to rescue crew and passengers in horrendous conditions. Eventually, the ship was abandoned even by a core team of nine who stayed on to try to prevent the ship from running aground.
