Mr. Fasolas stated: “I am extremely honored to receive the Personnel HSSE
Award. I am earnestly grateful for the recognition I have received for my
work, and I am sure that every other nominee was equally capable of
winning. I am humbly thankful to the team who selected me for this award.
Thank you for motivating me to continue having the highest dedication to
this job. The biggest honor goes to my fellow team and Minerva Dry since
they have enabled me to get this far.”

handed the MINERVA MARINE Personnel HSSE Award Q3
2022 by the vessel’s Master, Capt. Manuchar Sichynava.
Mr. Pasaquaian said: “The key to pursuing excellence is to
embrace an organic, long-term learning process and not
to live in a shell of static, self-mediocrity. Usually, growth
comes at the expense of previous comfort.”
