FILE PHOTO OF CAPTAIN ARNE RINNAN ON THE BRIDGE OF THE NORWEGIAN FREIGHTER TAMPA IN SINGAPORE

Captain Arne Rinnan looks out from the bridge of the Norwegian freighter Tampa in Singapore, overlooking the deck where more than 400 asylum seekers previously sheltered in this September 6, 2001 file photo. Australia congratulated Rinnan on March 20, 2002 for receiving a humanitarian award for rescuing 433 boatpeople but defended its refusal to allow the asylum seekers onto Australian soil. Rinnan and the ship's owners and crew won this year's Nansen Refugee Award for their actions in the Indian Ocean last August, when they charged to the rescue of 438 people on a sinking Indonesian ferry, 433 of whom were asylum seekers.
