MM&P CAPTAIN FILES WHISTLEBLOWER CLAIM AGAINST AMERICAN PRESIDENT LINES (APL) AND SUBSIDIARIES AFTER RETALIATION FOR REPORTING REST PERIOD VIOLATIONS AND OTHER PROTECTED ACTIVITY

On February 14, 2025, MM&P Member Capt. Richard VanderLaan filed a complaint in the Superior Court of California, Alameda County, against American President Lines LLC and other subsidiaries, alleging violations of the California and Virginia whistleblower statutes.

Capt. VanderLaan is represented by the firm Altshuler Berzon LLP. Capt. VanderLaan’s counsel, Eileen B. Goldsmith, Esq., explains the allegations as follows:

“The complaint alleges that as a result of APL’s reduction in LDO staffing, the LDOs on an APL containership he captained last year were compelled on many occasions to work longer hours than are permitted by international standards and U.S. Coast Guard regulations.

“The complaint further alleges that Captain VanderLaan, who commanded the containership, accurately reported these rest period violations to the company and in his logbook that was transmitted to the U.S. Coast Guard.

“Several months earlier, Captain VanderLaan had also joined other APL captains in signing a letter to the U.S. Coast Guard warning of risks associated with APL’s decision to reduce LDO staffing.

“The complaint alleges that in response to these activities, APL retaliated against Captain VanderLaan by threatening termination, giving the Captain negative performance evaluations, and imposing a Performance Improvement Plan.

“The complaint alleges that APL’s campaign of retaliation violates California and Virginia law protecting whistleblowers. These state laws provide additional important remedies for LDOs who experience retaliation just for performing their legal duties with integrity.

“As relief in Captain VanderLaan’s case, we’re seeking the rescission of the retaliatory Performance Improvement Plan and negative evaluations, as well as civil penalties and punitive damages.”

Federal law, such as the Seaman’s Protection Act, 46 U.S.C. Sec. 2114, as well as various state laws, such as those in California and Virginia under which Capt. VanderLaan filed, protect seafarers against retaliation for reporting to government agencies.

MM&P International Counsel Gabriel A. Terrasa will review these protections in the next issue of The Master, Mate & Pilot.

If you believe you have been retaliated or discriminated against because you made reports to a government agency concerning violations of law, regulation, company policy, or your contract, contact your MM&P area representative for referral to counsel.

MARITIME UNIONS CALL ON NEW HAMPSHIRE LAWMAKERS TO REJECT ANTI-JONES ACT BILL

MM&P has joined other leading maritime unions in urging members of the New Hampshire House of Representatives to oppose a bill that calls for “reforming” the Jones Act.

The Jones Act requires that cargo moving between two US points be carried on American-built, -owned and -crewed vessels.

The New Hampshire bill, HCR 10, expresses the support of members of the House for the “reformation of the Jones Act.”

“Weakening the Jones Act would outsource the jobs of American mariners to foreign workers and threaten America’s—and New Hampshire’s—security,” the unions wrote in a Feb. 19 letter to all members of the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

“It ensures that the business of providing domestic maritime transportation services is reserved to Americans operating in compliance with US law.”

“It also supports a skilled workforce that is relied on daily to move everything from consumer and manufactured goods to energy, agricultural, and military cargoes.”

“In peacetime, US mariners transport military cargo and fuel, supply military bases, and bring military ships into and out of port, while shipyard workers construct and repair military vessels to maintain America’s readiness.”

“In times of war, the same US mariners can be called up to crew military sealift vessels that project America’s forces abroad, and the same shipyard workers have the skill and experience needed for wartime shipbuilding programs.”

“Without the Jones Act, those added lines of defense disappear,” the unions wrote.

“At a time when the US faces increasing security threats from China, we urge you to defend the men, women, and families here in the homeland by opposing measures like HCR 10 that aim to dismantle the domestic maritime industry.”

The letter was signed by MM&P President Don Josberger, AWO President and CEO Jennifer Carpenter, SIU President Dave Heindel, MTD Executive Secretary/Treasurer Brittanie R. Potter and MEBA President Adam Vokac.

ILA MEMBERS RATIFY NEW SIX-YEAR CONTRACT

Rank-and-file members of the International Longshoremen’s Association have ratified a new six-year master contract for East and Gulf Coast ports.

“It was a tough contract to negotiate,” said ILA President Harold Daggett, the union’s chief negotiator.

Among the contract terms he highlights are a 62 percent wage increase, an accelerated raise track for new workers, container royalty funds for the union, and improvements to healthcare and other benefits.

The terms are retroactive to Oct. 1, 2024, when the previous contract expired.

The new contract, which runs until Sept. 30, 2030, covers ports from Maine to Florida and along the Gulf Coast.

Details have yet to be released, but Daggett said the contract, which was overwhelmingly approved, includes “full protections against automation.”

The union in a press release said nearly 99 percent of rank-and-file members voted in favor of it.

Press reports say the two sides agreed to a compromise on automation, with some technological advances allowed as long as they do not impact the jobs of ILA members.

The ILA Wage Scale Committee and Executive Council, and the members of USMX— which represents the terminal operators and shipping companies—had approved the new contract before the ratification vote by the membership.

ADMINISTRATION FIRES HUNDREDS OF WEATHER FORECASTERS

Hundreds of weather forecasters and other employees of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration were fired on Feb. 27.

NOAA employees who remained on the job the next day told the Associated Press that the layoffs included meteorologists in National Weather Service offices across the country.

The cuts that have taken place at NOAA so far affect about 880 people, or 10 percent of the agency’s workforce, according to a former NOAA chief scientist quoted by AP.

NOAA employees monitor weather and climate in the US, and changes in the atmosphere worldwide.

The agency, which was organized under President Nixon in 1970, has carried out daily weather observations and mapped the nation’s coasts for more than a century.

It is responsible for monitoring, researching, and forecasting weather and climate, maintaining a fleet of satellites and research aircraft and vessels, and overseeing oceans, coasts, and marine species.

The weather service staffs 122 offices across the US, Puerto Rico, and Guam, where meteorologists gather weather observations and issue localized forecasts, including of approaching hurricanes.

They also broadcast weather information over NOAA radio and work with local emergency management officials.

Within the weather service, the National Centers for Environmental Prediction include nine national centers devoted to forecasts and warnings, the best known of which is the National Hurricane Center.

BOOKING AGENT ERROR CAUSED PRESIDENT EISENWHOWER CONTAINER LOSS

An error made by a booking agent in the container loading plan caused the APL PRESIDENT EISENHOWER to lose 23 containers overboard on Feb. 6, the National Transportation Safety Board said.

The booking agent entered the wrong container weight data into the cargo loading plan, the NTSB said, causing the vessel to lose the containers when it was waiting for a berthing assignment about 94 miles south of Oakland.

Ten containers were also damaged in the incident.

None of the containers that were lost contained hazardous materials. The value of the lost cargo and the damage to the containership was estimated at over $735,000.

Longshoreman at the Port of Los Angeles began loading the vessel on Jan. 31 in accordance with the cargo loading plan, which was developed by the ship planners using the verified gross mass, or VGM, of each container.

The VGM was determined by combining the empty weight of the container with the weight of the cargo loaded into it.

Because of a system malfunction, the booking agent had to manually enter the weight of the cargo for 40 of the containers.

The agent entered 39 out of 40 weights incorrectly and the VGM was significantly underreported as a result.

The actual VGMs for the 39 containers was 18.3 to 22.2 metric tons greater than the VGMs used to develop the cargo loading plan, the NTSB said.

“Because the cargo loading plan included inaccurate VGMs, the container stack weights exceeded the maximum weight limit and the containers were loaded in reverse-stratified stacks, which caused the cargo-securing equipment to fail while the vessel drifted south of Oakland,” the agency said.

The NTSB’s Marine Investigation Report, 25-06, is available online.

CHINESE NATIONAL GETS THREE-MONTH JAIL TERM FOR MARPOL VIOLATIONS

The chief engineer of the ASL SINGAPORE, a Chinese-owned, Liberia-flagged bulker, has been sentenced to three months in prison for violating the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL).

The engineer, Fei Wange, was also found guilty of using false logs to obstruct the Coast Guard’s investigation.

Wange pleaded guilty and was sentenced on Jan. 31 to three months in prison and three years of supervised release.

The crew used a portable pump and a flexible hose, known in the industry as a “magic pipe,” to dispose of the accumulated bilge water.

The ship was managed by ASL Singapore Shipping, headquartered in the Marshall Islands, and owned by Jia Feng Shipping, when the violations were discovered.

Last week, both companies were found guilty of environmental crimes and fined $1.85 million.

Their ships have now been banned from US waters.

The ASL SINGAPORE has changed owners once or twice in the year since the charges were first brought, the Coast Guard said.

In a related case, Athens-headquartered Eurobulk Ltd has been ordered to pay a criminal fine of $1.125 million for MARPOL violations, including falsification of records, aboard the Liberia-registered GOOD HEART.

Eurobulk must also serve a four-year-term of probation during which it will be subject to an environmental plan with a monitorship to ensure compliance.

Christos Charitos, formerly chief engineer aboard GOOD HEART, has been ordered to pay a $2,000 fine and complete a one-year term of unsupervised probation.

“This outcome directly reflects our dedication to holding those who violate laws designed to prevent pollution of the marine environment accountable,” said Rear Adm. David Barata, commander of the USCG Eighth District.

“The Coast Guard and our partners remain resolute in our mission to protect our waters, and we encourage the public to continue reporting any suspicious activities as every report is essential in our ongoing effort to preserve the health of our marine ecosystems.”

NMC CHANGES PHONE SYSTEM; CUSTOMER CONTACT NUMBER REMAINS THE SAME

The National Maritime Center and the S&R National Center of Expertise in Martinsburg, W.Va., have transitioned to a web-based Microsoft Teams telephone system.

This means that effective immediately, people who work in both organizations no longer have access to their legacy 304-433-xxxx numbers.

The NMC Customer Contact Center phone number remains the same: 1-888-IASKNMC (427-5662).

But the Customer Contact Center will no longer be able to transfer incoming calls to specific points of contact (POC).

Instead, the agent will take your information and email the appropriate POC.

If you need to speak to an S&R NCOE representative, you should call (206) 815-6873 or email SRNCOE@uscg.mil.

Reports of sexual assault and harassment can still be made to the Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS) via their tipline CGISTips@uscg.mil, the CG Tips app, the National Command Center at (202) 372-2100, or Sashreport@uscg.mil.

As new call-in numbers are established over the coming weeks, NMC will post them on www.uscg.mil/nmc.

If you have questions, contact the Customer Service Center at IASKNMC@uscg.mil or 1-888-IASKNMC (427-5662).
