Avisutklipp, "Til minne om sjøkaptein Roy Steen Simensen":
"Etter lang tids sykeleie sovnet sjøkaptein Roy Steen Simensen inn den 27. april. Etter 40 års tjeneste til sjøs, både i krig og fred, hadde han nå sett frem til å nyte sitt otium hos sine kjære hjemme, men sykdommen forandret disse planer, og i dag står vi igjen med minnene etter en begavet og meget dyktig sjøkaptein. Hans siste oppdrag for rederiet var som representant i Bangladesh i et shippingengasjement som rederiet hadde der i regi av Norad. Da dette oppdraget var fullført, kom Simensen hjem i juni 1981.
I nesten 25 år tjenestegjorde sjøkaptein Steen Simensen i Einar Rasmussens rederi. Han begynte som 2. styrmann ombord i M/T "Polykarp" i september 1955. Han var førstereisgutt allerede i 1937. Under den 2. verdenskrig kom han til England hvor han gikk inn i marinen i 1941 og tjenestegjorde som telegrafist til han ble dimittert i 1946. Han hadde da bak seg en krevende tjeneste i marinen med store trefninger, og bl.a. overlevde han to krigsforlis.
Kaptein Steen Simensen stiftet familie i Kristiansand, bygde hus og bosatte seg i fruens fødeby. Steen Simensen fortsatte sin maritime løpebane og avla sin styrmanseksamen i 1952 og skipsførereksamen i 1959 og fikk da sitt skipsførersertifikat. Fra 1962 har han ført skip hos Einar Rasmussen og har hatt hovedansvaret ombord i mange av rederiets skip med ulike transportoppgaver, fra de eldre og mindre skip til de store supertankere. Hans siste skip var M/T "Polyscandia" hvorfra han mønstret av i oktober 1979.
Med sitt vennlige og humørfylte vesen, sin arbeidsvillighet, sin omtanke for andres ve og vel og samarbeidsvilje, vant han seg mange venner både ombord og i land. Kaptein Steen Simensen var en meget flink sjømann. I sin tjeneste tok han meget godt vare både på skip og ikke minst de som tjenestegjorde ombord. Det var en glede for oss å samarbeide med ham opp gjennom årene. Nå er hans livs seilas over, men hans navn vil leve videre i rederiet. Vi vil huske ham i takknemlighet fordi han aldri sviktet i sin lange tjeneste. En lojal og meget dyktig sjømann er gått bort. Vi lyser fred over sjøkaptein Roy Steen Simensens minne".

Medals (2)
Going through new source material in order to document the war sailors and their history is an ongoing and extensive effort, and there exist no complete register over decorations awarded. Infomation about medals will therefore be registered gradually and be based on different source materials. The war sailors were awarded medals both during and after the war.
