MARITIME SECURITY PROGRAM AND TANKER SECURITY PROGRAM FULLY FUNDED IN HOUSE-PASSED BILL

The 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, which was approved by the House of Representatives on Dec. 8, contains numerous provisions of importance to the maritime industry.

It is expected to gain bipartisan approval in the Senate this week before heading to the White House for President Biden’s signature.

The NDAA is an annual bill that establishes defense priorities and sets guidelines for military-related spending.

Besides full funding for the Maritime Security Program, this year it calls for the expansion of the Tanker Security Program to a total of 20 vessels in FY’24.

Among numerous provisions of importance to our industry, it also:

— amends the Jones Act waiver system to provide greater transparency and limit the opportunity to receive a waiver;

— requires MARAD to issue a final rule implementing and enforcing U.S.-flag cargo preference shipping requirements;

— introduces a range of measures aimed at eliminating sexual assault and sexual harassment in the industry;

— requires the Secretary of Transportation to develop and deliver to Congress a strategy to help the maritime academies increase the representation of women and underrepresented communities in the mariner workforce;

— mandates that steps be taken towards formulation and submission to Congress of a national maritime strategy, to be updated at least every five years;

— requires that the Coast Guard report back to Congress on the steps needed to establish an electronic merchant mariner licensing and documentation system, with the goal of processing applications within two weeks of receipt.

Finally, the bill states that it is “the sense of Congress that the United States merchant marine is a critical part of the national infrastructure of the United States, and the men and women of the United States merchant marine are essential workers.”

MAERSK APPOINTS NEW CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

A.P. Møller–Mærsk has announced that Vincent Clerc, the current head of its Ocean & Logistic business, will replace Søren Skou at the helm of the group on Jan. 1, 2023.

Skou is retiring after leading the Danish conglomerate for seven years.

Clerc, the incoming CEO, has worked for Maersk Line since 1998.

He became chief commercial officer at Maersk Line in 2015 and was appointed head of Ocean & Logistics, the largest part of the company’s business, in 2019.

“The strong tail winds that benefited the supply chain industries during the pandemic are coming to an end,” said Robert Uggla, who chairs Maersk’s board of directors, in announcing the transition.

“With an increasingly challenging outlook, the board believes Vincent holds the right experience and capabilities as CEO to pursue and oversee Maersk’s strategic and organizational development in the years to come.”

“I am looking forward, together with the leadership team and all the Maersk colleagues around the world, to take [the group] to the next level, building on the very strong foundation we obtained with Søren at the helm, and delivering on our promises to customers, shareholders, and to the society at large,” Clerc said during the event announcing the leadership change.

“It will demand of us that we stay the course on our strategy, delivering on our digitalization and decarbonization roadmaps, while keeping a sharper than ever eye on our operational excellence and performance.”

Maersk has been moving decisively in the shift to next-generation, environmentally friendly vessels: in addition to ordering methanol-ready containerships, it has assumed a leading role in developing the global supply network for green methanol.

Maersk is one of the world’s largest shipping and logistics companies, employing more than 100,000 people in 130 countries.

WORK BEGINS ON NEXT JOHN LEWIS–CLASS OILER

The keel for the future USNS ROBERT F. KENNEDY, the fourth John Lewis–class replenishment oiler, was laid at General Dynamics NASSCO on Dec. 5.

Robert Kennedy, a U.S. attorney general and civil rights advocate, was the brother of President John F. Kennedy.

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, daughter of Robert Kennedy and a former lieutenant governor of Maryland, has been named sponsor of the new ship.

A steel plate with her initials will be permanently affixed to the keel and remain with the vessel throughout its service life.

In her remarks at the keel-laying, Kennedy Townsend spoke of her family’s tradition of Navy service.

“My grandfather served in the Navy in World War II. My uncle served in the Navy as a lieutenant on PT-109 in World War II and my father served as a seaman 2nd Class,” she said.

“My family has always believed that the Navy is a great place to serve and to learn.”

After construction and christening, the ship will go through a series of tests and inspections before joining the Military Sealift Command fleet.

ASK YOUR SENATORS TO FULLY FUND THE NLRB

The labor movement needs a fully funded National Labor Relations Board to investigate unfair labor practices and conduct union elections.

But the NLRB is in a funding crisis.

It hasn’t had a budget increase since 2014. In other words, when inflation is factored in, its budget has actually decreased by 24 percent.

The AFL-CIO is asking union members to take two minutes to send a letter to their senators to demand funding for the NLRB.

Send a letter

All over the country, workers are organizing to win union elections and fight illegal corporate union-busting.

The NLRB is supposed to back them up by enforcing labor law and worker protections.

But because it lacks funds, it doesn’t have enough staff to do the job.

Without the NLRB, the labor movement can’t hold corporations accountable or build worker power through stronger unions. It’s that simple.

Please take two minutes to write a letter and tell your senators to fund the National Labor Relations Board.

MM&P AND WASHINGTON STATE FERRIES’ NEW PILOTAGE PROGRAM FOR MATES!

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” at $41.00/hour.

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 entered the program.

MM&P anticipates a solicitation for outside candidates early in the new year. An application process for that program should be forthcoming.

If you are interested in this opportunity, contact MM&P Pacific Maritime Region Vice President Dan Twohig: dtwohig@bridgedeck.org or 206-390-9907.
