Over the weekend, the crew of the Hanjin Dallas effected a flawless rescue off the coast of San Francisco. Upon noticing an orange smoke signal, the ship notified the Coast Guard and diverted out of the traffic separation scheme and rescued a fisherman whose boat had capsized. The rescue was completed by launching the ships rescue boat. An amazing job to the captain and crew of this ship. This ship is one of the largest ships that call in San Francisco, at nearly 1000 ft long, and capable of carrying 8000 TEU.
