NEW PASHA HAWAII CONTAINERSHIP MAKES INAUGURAL CALL AT PORT OF LONG BEACH
The MV JANET MARIE, Pasha Hawaii’s new LNG-powered ‘Ohana Class containership,
began her maiden voyage to Honolulu on Saturday with an inaugural call at the Port of
Long Beach.
The company’s first ‘Ohana Class vessel, MV GEORGE III, started service on Aug. 17,
2022.
“These ships symbolize the best of American ingenuity and ship building,” said Pasha
Hawaii President and CEO George Pasha IV.
“We are extremely grateful to the Port of Long Beach for their invaluable partnership
and support in bringing both GEORGE III and JANET MARIE to fruition.”
At a portside ceremony, Harbor Commission President Sharon Weissman presented
him and Doug Fisher, master of the JANET MARIE, with a plaque honoring the ship’s
captain and crew.
“We are proud to be one of the global ports capable of accommodating ships operating
on cleaner fuels, putting us on a path to enhancing air quality throughout the region,”
she said.
The two LNG-powered ships, which operate in the Hawaii/Mainland trade lane, surpass
the International Maritime Organization’s 2030 emission standards for ocean vessels.
Energy efficiencies are also achieved with a state-of-the-art engine, an optimized hull,
and an underwater propulsion system with a high-efficiency rudder and propeller.

DISABLED CAR CARRIER TOWED AWAY FROM DUTCH SHIPPING LANES
Tugboats over the weekend towed the disabled car carrier FREMANTLE HIGHWAY to a
new location that authorities in the Netherlands said reduced the threat that it poses to
other ships and the environment.
The Panama-flagged vessel was towed by two tugboats, accompanied by an emergency
response vessel and a pollution control vessel.
One member of the car carrier’s crew was killed when fire broke out shortly before
midnight on July 25 as the ship traveled from Bremerhaven to Singapore.
Twenty-two members of the crew were rescued by helicopter or boat, including some
who were injured when they jumped overboard to escape the blaze.
The authorities said Sunday’s 41-mile tow was completed without problems.
A spokesperson for shipowner K Line said last week that the source could have been one
of the roughly 500 electric vehicles on board, although an investigation into the fire has
not yet begun.
The International Maritime Organization, which sets regulations for safety at sea, plans
to evaluate new measures next year for ships transporting EVs because of the growing
number of fires on cargo ships, a spokesperson told Reuters.

MANDATORY WAGE AND WORK STANDARDS NEEDED IN UK FERRY SECTOR
A bilateral agreement that sets voluntary standards for ferry operators serving UK ports
does not go far enough to protect the rights of employees, unions say.
News of the agreement, signed last week by the UK and France, came 18 months after
P&O Ferries fired 786 of its employees and replaced them with internationally sourced
minimum-wage workers, many of whom lacked necessary training.
The voluntary charter, which addresses areas that include wages, professional
development, and work/rest hours, “is a step forward,” said Nautilus International
General Secretary Mark Dickinson.
“However, to ensure maritime professionals on all routes in and out of the UK can
benefit from the provisions within the charter, it must be mandatory, as employers
whose business model depends on the exploitation of maritime professionals will simply
not volunteer to change.”
Livia Spera, general secretary of the European Transport Workers’ Federation, agreed
that the voluntary charter was an improvement, but warned that it would not prevent
illegal mass firings, as happened at P&O Ferries, from taking place.
“The focus needs to be on eradicating substandard working conditions and
reestablishing decent standards and rights through legislation and collective
bargaining,” she said.
International Transport Workers’ Federation General Secretary Stephen Cotton said he
doubted a voluntary charter would rein in bad actors.
“We need to see strong laws supporting decent wages and conditions,” he said, “and
when laws are broken, we need to see swift enforcement and prosecutorial action taken
by states.”
The ferry workers who were fired by P&O Ferries belong to unions that include Nautilus
International and the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers.
MM&P partners with Nautilus International in the Nautilus Federation.
Both MM&P and Nautilus are among the nearly 700 transport unions in 147 countries
that belong to the ITF.

SECOND NATIONAL SECURITY MULTI-MISSION VESSEL LAUNCHED
PATRIOT STATE, the second in the series of five National Security Multi-Mission
Vessels, was launched in July at Philly Shipyard.
It is scheduled for delivery to Massachusetts Maritime Academy in 2024.
The first ship in the NSMV program, the EMPIRE STATE VII, was christened in June. It
will be delivered to the State University of New York Maritime College later this
summer.
The keel of the third national security multi-mission vessel, scheduled for delivery to
Maine Maritime next year, was laid in a ceremony at Philly Shipyard on May 1.
The national security multi-mission vessel program is operated by the Maritime
Administration to provide state-of-the-art training platforms for the state maritime
academies.
The ships will also be equipped to support humanitarian assistance and disaster relief
missions.
All five are being built at Philly Shipyard.

NEWARK MAYOR WANTS TO CREATE SPECIALIZED FIREFIGHTING TEAM FOR PORT
The mayor of Newark has begun talks with the Coast Guard and the Port Authority
about creating a team of firefighters who are specially trained to fight fires aboard ships.
The news was reported by Patrick McGeehan, who writes about transportation and
infrastructure for The New York Times.
It comes a month after two Newark firefighters died in a blaze aboard an Italian rollon/roll-off containership, the GRANDE COSTA D’AVORIO, which caught fire on the
morning of July 5 as longshore workers and members of the crew were loading cars.
Besides the two Newark firefighters who died while fighting the blaze, six others were
injured.
No injuries were reported among members of the crew.
The fire aboard the GRANDE COSTA D’AVORIO burned for more than five days.
Newark’s mayor, Ras J. Baraka, told The New York Times that he had met with top
officials of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to discuss how to be better
prepared for ship fires.
Unions for the firefighters are said to be in agreement with the idea of creating a
specialized team because they see an urgent need for more training.
One said the only recent instruction they had received on shipboard fires was a
classroom lesson on the dangers of lithium-ion batteries.

MM&P AND WASHINGTON STATE FERRIES’ NEW PILOTAGE PROGRAM FOR MATES IS ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
The MM&P and Washington State Ferries’ new Pilotage Program for Mates is now
accepting applications.
Click here to apply. Click here for more information. Or read on.
Washington State Ferries is seeking deckhands and mates. The minimum license
requirements are an Inland Mate (unlimited) with Federal Pilotage for all ferry routes in
Puget Sound.
MM&P and WSF have begun a program that will allow deck officers from both inside
and outside the agency who do not currently hold the pilotage to be employed by WSF as
“Mates in Training.”
This program is now accepting applications!
Candidates are paid at approximately $41/hour, with the possibility of some local travel
reimbursements (mileage) within the Puget Sound region.
With the implementation of the 2023–25 MM&P contracts on July 1, 2023, it is
anticipated that the rate of pay should be increased by 6 percent, to $43.46.
Mates in Training can ride the ships for up to a year to obtain the pilotage endorsements
necessary to get on the MM&P seniority list.
The first cadre of pilotage riders (internal) has completed the program and are being
deployed to the fleet as fully qualified Chief Mates. The second internal cadre has begun
the program.
