Chinese diver Zhong Haifeng speaks after receiving the 2018 International Maritime Organization (IMO) Award for Exceptional Bravery At Sea in London, Britain, Dec. 6, 2018. Zhong is a rescue diver from Guangzhou Salvage Bureau of Chinese Ministry of Transport. He made a series of underwater dives to rescue three people, when a cargo ship sank after colliding with another in China's Guangzhou Port in last November. A Panel of Judges agreed that Zhong demonstrated "truly exceptional bravery and human spirit" during the rescue "by personally exerting tireless efforts under highly dangerous circumstances". This annual award was established by IMO to provide international recognition for those who, at the risk of losing their own life, perform acts of exceptional bravery, displaying outstanding courage in attempting to save life at sea or in attempting to prevent or mitigate damage to the marine environment.
