Today, while alongside the discharge berth in Aqaba, Jordan, there was a ceremony on the dock dedicated to the arrival of our aid cargo delivered by our good ship, M/V Liberty Eagle. Following the ceremony we were privileged to host a reception for the dignitaries and their entourage. The two most notable attendees were U.S. Ambassador to Jordan, Alice G. Wells, and Her Excellency, the Minister of Industry, Trade and Supply, Maha Ali. It is with great honor I relay to you their overwhelming gratitude towards our fine Vessel, Officers and Crew. Chief Steward Willie Frink prepared a stunning display of finger foods and refreshments to entertain the entourage while Chief Officer Michael Parks escorted the dignitaries to the bridge for a photo session. I received countless compliments on the condition of our ship, both inside and out. They also expressed that they were impressed with our hospitality and visit preparations. As quickly as they all came, they were gone, and we resumed cargo ops and business as usual. It was a memorable event and I feel so proud that we were an integral part of the mission of providing humanitarian aid at this time.
Below are some pictures of the ceremony and reception.
