INTERVIEW WITH CAPTAIN RICHARD PHILLIPS, WHO WAS KIDNAPPED BY SOMALI PIRATES, LAUNCHES NEW PODCAST SERIES

An interview with Captain Richard Phillips, the MM&P member who was kidnapped by Somali pirates, kicks off a new podcast produced by Nautilus International.

The series aims to educate the public about the importance of the maritime industry, which seems to attract attention only in cases like the MAERSK ALABAMA hijacking or last year’s grounding of the EVER GIVEN in the Suez Canal.

Phillips tells host Robert Murtagh the story of the attack, and reflects on the accuracy of the 2013 action film “Captain Phillips,” starring Tom Hanks.

He also touches on the many challenges of life at sea.

“We’re really on our own once we’re on that ship,” Phillips says, “and piracy is not the only thing you have to worry about.”

“We have medical emergencies. We have enclosed spaces. We have fires. We have stowaways.”

Phillips describes the impact on his mental health of the five days he was held hostage at gunpoint in a lifeboat, and explains how a therapist helped him move forward with his life in the aftermath of the kidnapping.

You can listen to the podcast across most audio platforms including Soundcloud, Apple, and Spotify.

MM&P is one of the 22 maritime labor unions that belong to the Nautilus Federation.

MEN WHO BELONG TO A UNION MAKE $1.3 MILLION MORE IN THEIR LIFETIMES THAN MEN WHO ARE NOT UNION MEMBERS, NEW STUDY SHOWS

Men who belong to labor unions for their entire careers make up to $1.3 million more on average than men who have never joined a union, new research shows.

Union members make about $3.4 million from ages 20 to 64, compared to $2.1 million for those who have never been union members.

The findings, which were published by Cornell University’s Industrial and Labor Relations Review, were the subject of a recent report by NPR.

The researchers analyzed data issued by the Panel Study of Income Dynamics from 1969 through 2019.

The Panel Study of Income Dynamics is a survey of American families, conducted by the Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan, that measures economic, social, and health factors over the life course of families over multiple generations.

The men whose cumulative income was studied had to be no older than 25 between 1969 and 1973.

The sample consisted exclusively of men because women earners were previously categorized as “spouses” in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, and data on the earnings of spouses was not collected consistently until 1979.

The researchers calculated career earnings using total years employed, mean hours worked each year and mean hourly wage.

Men with no college degree who had been in a union for at least half their careers had expected earnings of $1.96 million by age 65, while those with no college degree who had never been in a union or had been in one less than half of their careers had projected earnings of about $1.5 million.

In contrast, people with college degrees who had been in a union for more than half their careers made less ($2.16 million) than those with college degrees who had never been in a union ($2.67 million).

The researchers attributed this finding to “the association of union membership and occupations worked.”

The study also found that union membership was associated with an increased probability of retiring at or before age 65.

IMO MARITIME SAFETY COMMITTEE MOVES TOWARDS MANDATORY REPORTING OF LOST CONTAINERS

The IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee is moving forward in its effort to introduce mandatory reporting requirements for containers that go overboard.

During its most recent meeting, the MSC Subcommittee on Carriage of Cargoes and Containers agreed to a draft of new requirements for mandatory reporting, including a series of amendments to the SOLAS and MARPOL treaties.

The process began in May 2021, when the committee agreed to new measures to detect and report containers lost at sea.

The growing risks posed by containers lost at sea were underlined by a number of incidents that took place in 2020 and 2021.

The World Shipping Council estimated that an average of 1,382 containers were lost at sea each year between 2008 and 2019.

But in the most recent two years, weather-related incidents pushed the average to more than 3,100 annually, the WSC says.

The draft amendments to SOLAS chapter V add new paragraphs that specifically address “danger messaging.”

They would require that the masters of ships involved in the loss of containers communicate the particulars of the incident by appropriate means without delay and to the fullest extent possible to ships in the vicinity, to the nearest coastal State, and also to the flag State.

The flag State would be required to report the loss of containers to the IMO.

Among the provisions is a requirement to report the position and number of containers involved.

Specific clauses focus on the reporting of hazardous materials that might be in the containers.

The drafts next move for approval at the spring 2023 meeting of the full MSC, followed by adoption at the meeting in the fall of 2023.

The subcommittee agreed that the draft amendments should enter into force on Jan. 1, 2026.

The IMO Secretariat will develop the relevant module under the IMO Global Integrated Shipping Information System for the receipt of reports from flag States.

GLOBAL SEAFARER, A PUBLICATION OF THE NAUTILUS FEDERATION, IS NOW ONLINE

The newest issue of Global Seafarer, the quarterly publication of the Nautilus Federation, is now online.

In this issue:

— new study shows reports of safety incidents rose during the pandemic, probably as a result of fatigue, the crew change crisis and rapid turnaround in ports;

— serious fires caused by lithium batteries underline growing risks for mariners;

— organizing efforts pay off for MM&P affiliate Orden Marítima;

— changes to the Maritime Labor Convention guarantee new rights to seafarers from developing nations, including free internet aboard ship;

— after the fire aboard APL PRESIDENT EISENWHOWER, NTSB calls for improved systems to enable rapid detection of engine room oil leaks—and praises “textbook perfect response” of crew.

MM&P is one of the 20 maritime labor unions that belong to the Nautilus Federation, a strategic partnership working to safeguard mariners’ rights and foster progressive trade unionism.

LIVERPOOL DOCK WORKERS ANNOUNCE TWO MORE WEEKS OF STRIKES

Hundreds of Liverpool longshore workers will walk off the job from Oct. 24 until Nov. 7, following two weeks of strikes that ended on Oct. 4.

Their union, Unite, says the most recent offer of 8.2 percent from employer Peel Ports amounts to a cut in real terms because the UK inflation rate is now running at 9.9 percent.

The Bank of England predicts the country’s inflation rate will peak at 11 percent in December and then remain at 10 percent for several months before starting to come down.

Despite evidence to the contrary, Peel Ports has said it is suffering financially. As a result, it says, it needs to cut costs by laying off personnel.

“Peel Holdings is hugely profitable and can absolutely afford to pay our members a proper wage increase,” says Sharon Graham, general secretary of Unite.

“Instead of negotiations to resolve this dispute, the company has chosen to threaten jobs and repeatedly mislead about the deal it has tabled.”

“Our members are standing firm. Workers across the country are sick to death of being told to take a hit on their wages and living standards while employer after employer is guilty of rampant profiteering.”

Last year, Peel Ports affiliate MDHC reported more than 30 million pounds in profits.

Global transport unions are joining the striking dockworkers on the picket line.

“As the cost of essentials like food, energy and petrol continue to rise to astronomical levels, we are seeing employer after employer gouge profits at the expense of workers’ livelihoods and living standards,” says ITF President and Dockers’ Section Chair Paddy Crumlin.

“Working people have had enough.”
