NCS presented a very special Golden Kina Award to the crew of the Lihir Island Ferry- Sara Lee – on deck !
The Golden Kina Award is a just one of the ways NCS acknowledges outstanding service to our company in helping us with “Meeting the Challenge – Every Day” – in spirit and in ACTION.
The Sara Lee is contracted by LGL to transport workers from Namatani Island six days a week to Lihir and also transporting the 1.5 tons of fresh produce that we buy from farmers on the neighbouring Island to feed the thousands in camp.
The crew of the Sara Lee is responsible for overseeing the loading, discharging, storing and safe handling of all the vegetable and fruit every day.
The journey takes nearly five hours each way, and the skipper and crew of 3 are always on alert. They have become the largest “rescue team” on Lihir, saving nearly 350 lives in the last 22 months. The majority of the rescues are of local banana boat operators who encounter rough seas, run out of fuel or encounter other kinds of difficulties.
“The crew that operates the Sara Lee is integral to our Lihir operations” said NCS Lihir Catering Manager, Craig Wilkins.
We congratulate the Crew of the Sara Lee and thank them for their service and contribution to NCS – it is greatly appreciated.
The Golden Kina Award is a new way for NCS to recognise outstanding service to our business. It’s not just for NCS people. If you know someone who shares the spirit of “Meeting the Challenge – Every Day” and would like to nominate them for a Golden Kina Award , please contact your HR Manager on site or send us an email via the Contact page
