The IMO Award for Exceptional Bravery at Sea, considered the highest global recognition, was awarded by the International Maritime Organization, among 31 competitors, to pilots Marcio Santos Teixeira and Fábio Rodrigues Alves de Abreu, members of São Paulo Pilots, nominated by Brazil, for their determination, professionalism, and expertise in ship handling demonstrated during an emergency caused by extreme weather conditions while operating two oil tankers loaded with oil at the Almirante Barroso Terminal, in the Port of São Sebastião, in April 2019. This is the second time that Brazilians have been nominated for the award. The award will be presented at the IMO headquarters in London on a date to be determined.
