NAVY PROPOSES NUMEROUS POLICY CHANGES TO IMPROVE SAILORS’ QUALITY OF LIFE

U.S. Fleet Forces Command has proposed dozens of changes to improve the quality of life of those who serve aboard naval vessels.

The Navy announced the proposals after completing its investigation into three suicides that took place in the space of a week aboard the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON while it was in shipyard.

The investigation concluded that most crewmember suicides occur while vessels are in the yard.

USS GEORGE WASHINGTON was redelivered to Naval Station Norfolk on May 25. It had been in the shipyard since August 2017.

Naval Air Forces Commander Vice Adm. Kenneth Whitesell issued the following recommendations in an endorsement that accompanied the report:

— first-term sailors should be assigned to no more than two years of service aboard carriers in shipyard;

— more food distribution points should be established in yard and Basic Allowance for Subsistence payments should be available to all on board;

— the Navy should end ship or barge housing during a yard period, except for the duty section, and ensure that offsite housing for all is possible;

— more counselors should be made available;

— the Navy should negotiate closer-in parking for crewmembers to reduce two-hour commutes.

The findings of the investigation accompany a new memo from Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro and CNO Adm. Mike Gilday, which enumerates basic new rights for enlisted sailors. These include:

— a deliberate strategy for strengthening their mental and physical health;

— the opportunity to go to sea;

— the opportunity to live off the ship while in an industrial environment;

— access to convenient, affordable, and nutritious food, particularly while in shipyard;

— convenient access to free, high-speed WiFi in unaccompanied housing and Morale, Welfare and Recreation centers; and

— if unable to perform their duties, access to full and direct support.

“Our management partners have proposed dozens of changes that would improve sailors’ quality of life,” said MM&P Government Fleet Representative Randi Ciszewski.

“These basic benchmarks should be the same for all workers, sailors included.”

“Nobody should be forced to live aboard a ship in an industrial environment during her yard period.”

“Restaurants near ships, basic allowance for subsistence, a deliberate strategy for strengthening workers’ mental and physical health and ensuring the availability of counselors are basic human elements and ensure safe, healthy habitability onboard ships.”

“Sailors and CIVMARS prevail in the face of adversity every day.”

“All managers, to include military leaders, must advocate for their workers’ mental health and wellbeing.”

“They are charged to treat our enemies with dignity, and we cannot do any less for our own red, white, and blue sailors and merchant mariners.”

Note: At MM&P, we realize that the conditions in shipyards and at sea can be suboptimal, and some of the conditions that led to the events on the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON are not rare.

MM&P leadership and the MM&P Mental Health Resources Committee are dedicated to ensuring mariners on MM&P-contracted ships can access the resources necessary to support themselves and their shipmates.

There is confidential support available through MM&P’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP): toll free 877-234-5151 or 888-732-9020 en español.

If you have concerns, please reach out to Miriam and the MM&P Mental Health Resources Committee: manthony@bridgedeck.org.

Anyone experiencing a mental health emergency can call the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.

Veterans and members of the military can select Option 1 to speak with a VA staffer.

Veterans, troops, or their family members can also text 838255 or visit VeteransCrisisLine.net for assistance.

U.S. ISSUES WARNING TO CHINA AFTER RISKY ENCOUNTER IN TAIWAN STRAIT

The Navy released video on Sunday showing a Chinese ship cutting across the path of the USS CHUNG-HOON while it was transiting the Taiwan Strait with the Canadian frigate MONTREAL.

The Chinese ship came within 150 yards of the Arleigh-Burke class destroyer, which did not change course.

The White House said Monday that this and other encounters between U.S. and Chinese forces in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea reflect a heightened aggressiveness that raises new risks.

On May 26, a Chinese fighter jet carried out what the United States called an “unnecessarily aggressive” maneuver near an American military plane in international airspace over the South China Sea.

“Sadly, this is just part of, again, a growing aggressiveness by the PRC [People’s Republic of China] that we’re dealing with, and we’re prepared to address it,” White House spokesperson John Kirby told reporters.

“It won’t be long before somebody gets hurt.”

“It wouldn’t take much for an error in judgment or a mistake to get made.”

Kirby said the United States would continue to stand up for the freedom of navigation in the air and sea.

APL EAGLE FLAGGED-IN BY AMERICAN PRESIDENT LINES

American President Lines has flagged the APL EAGLE into its fleet to replace the APL GULF EXPRESS in the Maritime Security Program.

The EAGLE meets new emission requirements and is 14 years younger than the GULF EXPRESS.

All MM&P members who served on the GULF EXPRESS have been assigned to the APL EAGLE.

The new vessel, which was flagged-in at Jebel Ali, previously sailed in the CMA CGM international fleet as the CNC MERCURY.

MSC CAPTAIN ROSHENDA JOSEPHS NAMED TO NEW USMMA ADVISORY COUNCIL

Military Sealift Command Captain Roshenda Josephs, a member of MM&P, has been appointed by the U.S. Department of Transportation as one of the inaugural members of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Advisory Council.

A report issued by the National Academy of Public Administration in 2021 recommended chartering the council to advise the U.S. Secretary of Transportation on issues related to improving the academy.

The council will advise on: steps to ensure the curriculum is keeping pace with technological advances; infrastructure and facilities management; sexual assault and sexual harassment prevention and response; and diversity, equity, and inclusion.

“For the past two years, we have been working to address urgent challenges at the USMMA, and to provide its cadets with the resources and support they need and deserve,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in a statement.

“We are grateful to members of the Advisory Council for stepping up at this consequential moment and helping guide our continuing efforts to strengthen the academy and ensure the safety and success of its students.”

“The members of the USMMA Advisory Council are lending their expertise to help us consider how to position the academy for success for the next eight decades,” said Maritime Administrator Ann C. Phillips.

“We look forward to working closely with them and to receiving the benefit of their insights and recommendations.”

Appointees to the council are drawn from the maritime industry and maritime labor, academia, the senior ranks of the U.S. military, the Coast Guard, MSC, the Naval War College, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command.

The newly appointed members will each serve two-year terms.

A separate measure, codified by Congress in the 2022 NDAA, requires the Maritime Administrator to establish a USMMA Student Advisory Board composed of midshipmen, including no fewer than three cadets from each class, to “identify health and wellbeing, diversity, and sexual assault and harassment challenges and other topics considered important” to midshipmen at USMMA, off campus and while aboard ships during Sea Year.

FILIPINO MARINERS WILL SOON BE SAILING ON CANADIAN MERCHANT SHIPS

Filipino merchant mariners will serve on Canadian-flagged vessels under an agreement between Canada and the Philippines that was signed on March 29.

The agreement responds to “the urgent necessity of sourcing qualified sailors to take on numerous roles, both on ships and ashore, to bolster marine operations,” said a spokesperson for Transport Canada in a statement to the press.

Under the terms of the agreement, qualified Filipino mariners will be able to work on Canadian-flagged vessels without first getting permanent residency status.

They will need only a work visa and their Filipino certificate of competency.

“We’ve been seeking assistance from Transport Canada to facilitate the immigration of more foreign workers to man our vessels, including officers and regular sailors, as we face a severe personnel deficit in Canada’s maritime industry,” said Bruce Burrows, president and chief executive officer of Canada’s Chamber of Marine Commerce, which primarily represents shipping companies on the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway.

He said he expected the first Filipino mariners to start sailing on Canadian ships this year.

Canada already has similar agreements with Australia, France, Norway, Ukraine, Georgia, and the United Kingdom.

A spokesperson for Canada’s Coast Guard said the agency is also considering employing seafarers from the Philippines and other countries.

“We are exploring considerations around security clearances, work visas and Transport Canada requirements that CCG will have to fulfil to obtain the STCW certification endorsement for each candidate,” Fisheries and Oceans spokesperson Craig Macartney was quoted as saying by Paul Withers of Canada’s broadcasting company, CBC.

COURT IN AUSTRALIA FINES COMPANY AND CAPTAIN FOR LADDER THAT INJURED PILOT

A court in Australia has fined ship operator AAL Dampier Navigation and the captain of a Cyprus-flagged heavy lift cargo ship for regulatory violations that caused an accident in which a pilot was seriously injured.

The pilot fell about seven meters onto the deck of the pilot boat when the ropes snapped as he disembarked the AAL DAMPIER in the Port of Fremantle in August 2022.

The crew of the pilot boat rushed him to a hospital, where he was treated for serious injuries.

An investigation conducted by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority found the ropes were defective and the ladder had not been properly maintained.

“The shocking condition of the ropes was likely due to inappropriate storage and ineffective inspection maintenance procedures,” AMSA said.

AAL Dampier Navigation pleaded guilty to violating the regulations that require ship operators to ensure the safety of pilot transfer arrangements.

The master of the vessel pleaded guilty to taking an unseaworthy vessel to sea and failing to ensure that disembarkation was carried out in accordance with the regulations.

The company was fined $30,500. The master was fined $5,500.

“Marine pilots have a critical and high-risk job, even in the best of conditions, and it is imperative that vessels meet safety standards to prevent serious injury,” said AMSA Executive Director of Operations Michael Drake.
