CREW OF WASHINGTON STATE FERRY SAMISH RESCUES SIX BOATERS
The crew of WSF SAMISH rescued six people from a sinking cabin cruiser on March 9.
MM&P members assisting in the rescue were Captain Noah Landau, Chief Mate Justin McCaughan, Mate-in-Training Matt Farber, and Al Brandt, who was aboard the ferry and stepped up when the bells rang.
The ferry crew began navigating towards the position given by those aboard the cabin cruiser.
“They were able to pass their position to the Coast Guard,” Landau said, “but then apparently they took a wave through the windshield that soaked their VHF, and that was the last anybody heard from them on the radio.”
“Just as we got to the north end of James Island, we could see there was a boat approaching us, and that turned out to be them,” the captain said.
Landau could see the passengers frantically scooping water out of the boat using a 5-gallon bucket.
“We did a big round turn to put them in our lee,” he said, “then we launched a rescue boat.”
The crew brought four of the six passengers aboard the ferry, where they were given dry clothes, hot water bottles, and hot drinks, and the mate assessed them for injuries and hypothermia.
Landau said the success of the operation came down to experience, professionalism, and training.
The high wind conditions had added to the difficulty of the rescue, he told Nate Connors of KIRO News Radio, and he underlined the risks of launching a rescue boat.
“It’s just about the most dangerous thing that we do at ferries, putting a boat over the side with people in it,” he said.
“It was so windy that the SAMISH was being blown sideways, but the crew is so experienced that they were able to manage it.”
“The quick response and excellent seamanship exhibited by Washington State Ferries highlights the incredible partnerships we have in Puget Sound,” said Lt. Ryan Sexton, a USCG command duty officer.
Connors called the operation “a remarkable example of the bravery and professionalism that maritime workers exhibit in times of crisis.”

CONSOLIDATED APPROPRIATIONS ACT FUNDS KEY MARITIME PROGRAMS
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, which was signed into law by President Biden on March 9, provides funding for key maritime programs through the end of fiscal year 2024.
The Maritime Security Program and its fleet of 60 militarily useful, U.S.-flagged, U.S.-crewed ships is fully funded for fiscal year 2024 at $318 million.
As has been noted by military and maritime leaders since the program’s inception, its cost is dwarfed by the $65 billion or more that it would cost the Department of Defense to operate its own vessels and intermodal cargo systems for military sealift operations and national security emergencies.
The Tanker Security Program is funded at $60 million for the operation of 10 qualified U.S.-flagged tankers.
The bill does not include funding for the legislatively mandated expansion of the Tanker Security Program from 10 to 20 ships, but it does provide an additional $2.5 million for each enrolled tanker for verifiable training costs and other qualified expenses.
The act also appropriates money for the main source of food aid cargoes for U.S.-flag ships, Food for Peace Title II, which is funded at approximately $1.62 billion.
Under current cargo preference requirements, at least 50 percent of U.S. government impelled food-aid shipments must be carried by U.S.-flag vessels.
The act provides almost $200 million in funding for operations, capital improvements, and maintenance, repair, and equipment at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
It also allocates over $125 million to the state maritime academies, including $22 million for maintenance, repair, and life extension of academy training ships and $90 million for the National Security Multi-Mission Vessel Program.
This amount includes reimbursement for expenses related to maintenance and berthing of the new NSMVs, and $8.8 million for training ship fuel assistance.

MARITIME AUTHORITIES ADVISE TURNING OFF AIS IN REGIONAL CONFLICT AREAS
The maritime authorities are warning that U.S.-flagged commercial vessels transiting the Southern Red Sea, Bab el Mandeb Strait, and Gulf of Aden with AIS transponders on “are at increased risk of targeting by adversarial actors.”
It advises turning off AIS transponders, unless the Master believes that doing so would compromise the safety of the vessel.
“While vessels have been attacked by the Houthis while AIS transponders were on and while off, turning AIS off makes it more difficult to track and accurately target a vessel,” they note, adding that “adherence to all flag state and international requirements and guidance regarding operation of AIS, and the safe navigation of the vessel, remains the responsibility of individual companies and vessel Masters.”
It also advises alerting members of the crew “that all electronics signals from vessels pose a risk to maritime operations,” so that “when feasible, WiFi routers should be secured while underway in these areas.”
The advisory also includes information on:
— the risk of illegal boarding by Iranian forces using small boats and helicopters to divert commercial vessels into Iranian territorial waters;
— the recent increase in piracy in the Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Somali Basin, and Indian Ocean;
— unmanned aerial vehicle attacks in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, Gulf of Oman, and Arabian Sea;
— cases of limpet mines being used to damage commercial vessels in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, and the Gulf of Oman.

INDIA’S NAVY RESCUES CREW OF MALTA-FLAG CARGO SHIP; PIRATES HIJACK ANOTHER VESSEL
India’s Navy on Monday rescued the 17-person crew of the Malta-flag cargo ship MV RUEN and detained all 35 pirates on board. The RUEN had been hijacked in December.
During the rescue mission, which lasted 40 hours, marine commandos aboard the INS KOLKATA convinced the pirates to release the crew and surrender.
The Financial Times reported that the pirates may have used the RUEN as a base from which to seize the ABDULLAH, a Bangladesh-flag cargo ship that was hijacked off the coast of Somalia in March.
MV ABDULLAH, which has a 23-person crew, was heading from Mozambique to the United Arab Emirates when it was seized about 600 nautical miles east of Mogadishu.
According to a report in the Dhaka Tribune, Chief Mate Atiq Ullah Khan told his family in an audio message that allied warships had pursued the cargo ship for a distance on separate occasions but had retreated when the pirates brandished their weapons and began firing blanks at the crew.
He said the crewmembers were all unharmed.
A spokesperson for the Bangladesh Merchant Marine Officers’ Association said that on Monday, MV ABDULLAH was anchored seven nautical miles off the Somali coast and that the pirates had yet to establish contact with the shipowners or present any demands.
According to data released by the European Union’s anti-piracy operation, EUNAVFOR, in the past four months, there have been more than 20 hijackings or attempted hijackings in the Gulf of Aden and the Somali Basin.

MILITARY SEALIFT COMMAND’S USS HERSHEL “WOODY” WILLIAMS COMPLETES PLANNED MAINTENANCE PERIOD IN CROATIA
The Military Sealift Command expeditionary sea base USS HERSHEL “WOODY” WILLIAMS completed routine planned maintenance last month in Rijeka, Croatia.
The licensed deck officers aboard the ship are represented by the MM&P Federal Employees Membership Group.
Maintenance work performed on the vessel during its recent stay at Viktor Lenac Shipyard included Safety of Life At Sea equipment such as communication, fire safety, and navigation, as well as upgrading decking and coatings to increase safety, especially in adverse operating conditions.
Modernization projects included renovating crew storage spaces and upgrading systems to comply with updated MARPOL standards, which help prevent pollution from ships.
MSC notes that planned maintenance periods are critical to maintaining safety and mission-essential equipment and ensuring that the ship reaches its planned service life.
USS HERSHEL “WOODY” WILLIAMS is forward-deployed to Souda Bay, Greece, and serves as the first U.S. Navy ship assigned to the U.S. Africa Command area of responsibility.
It can conduct expeditionary missions, counter piracy operations, maritime security missions, and humanitarian and disaster relief.
MSC operates approximately 125 naval auxiliary civilian-crewed ships, replenishes U.S. Navy ships, strategically prepositions combat cargo at sea and moves military cargo and supplies used by deployed U.S. forces and coalition partners around the world.

DISNEYLAND CHARACTERS LOOK TO ORGANIZE WITH ACTORS’ EQUITY
A group of 1,700 performers who bring characters to life at Disneyland in California are forming a union with Actors’ Equity Association.
Actors’ Equity is the American performing arts labor union that has represented America’s professional theater actors and stage managers since 1913.
Like Masters, Mates & Pilots, Actors’ Equity is an affiliate of the AFL-CIO.
Most of the Disneyland workforce has been unionized since 1990; workers in the Characters and Parades departments are the exception.
The cast members are organizing under the name “Magic United.”
Their new unit will include performers who conduct meet and greets in the park and appear in “character dining experiences,” as well as the hosts and trainers who support them.
The character workers’ say their top concerns are fair compensation, job security, workplace safety, and transparent scheduling.
“Our Walt Disney World colleagues exemplify how you can be pro-Disney and pro-union at the same time,” a spokesperson for Magic United said in a statement.
“The vast majority of our park colleagues here in Anaheim already have union representation, and for everyone, it’s a win/win.”
“When we speak with a collective voice, we can have a clearer, more productive conversation with our employer.”
“Ultimately this will result in a better experience for everyone: cast members, management and, most importantly, our guests.”
