August 2014 Communicator Newsletter Letter from the President Salute to a Good Friend This year, HMS Global Maritime will celebrate our twenty-year anniversary. In the past twenty years, much has happened. We have seen projects come and go, have ventured into new market segments, have seen big projects like the Hawaii Superferry project declare bankruptcy, and have seen the entire casino boat industry go dockside. We have also had a few changes in our senior management team. Greg Brown, one of our close friends and a great contributor to the growth of HMS Global Maritime, will be departing the company, seeking increased personal growth and financial opportunities within the maritime industry. Greg has been working with HMS Global Maritime for over 16 years. In 1998, we hired Greg as one of the first Masters for the Glory of Rome, the largest riverboat casino in the world. Greg served as a Master of this vessel for over four years. John W. Waggoner In 2002, HMS Global Maritime offered Greg a position as a Senior Project Manager. Greg’s first assignment was to take the lead as Project Manager for the WestPac Express. Greg supervised the transition from the foreign crew that was operating this vessel to an all U.S. crew. In addition to hiring and training all of the crew, Greg also established a U.S. Coast Guard approved type rating and examination program for Austal’s 101-Meter High Speed Catamarans and developed a Safety Management System (SMS) for this vessel. In addition to the WestPac Express, Greg also helped oversee the Belle of LouisPresident/CEO ville, where he served as a Project Manager and Master. HMS Global Maritime Being a southern boy, Greg had the perfect temperament to assist HMS Global Maritime in establishing the Mobile Bay and Gees Bend Ferries in Alabama. The Gees Bend Ferry was quite a project, as the vessel was built locally and did not meet many of the U.S. Coast Guard regulations. As one U.S. Coast Guard officer told me, “This vessel should be on a TV show. The title of the show would be, ‘How to build a boat using farm equipment.’” Greg prevailed, and the Gees Bend Ferry was christened to much fan-fair and then entered service. When we made the determination to purchase the American Queen and enter the overnight cruise industry, Greg was right there. He participated in all the bank meetings, which we affectingly labeled, “Begging for Dollars”. Once we received our funding, it was off to Sulphur, Louisiana to begin the long process of bringing the American Queen back to life. Greg has been involved with the success of the American Queen from the very beginning. What a decorated career with HMS Global Maritime! Greg, on behalf of the entire company, we wish you all the best in your new career. May you always have fair winds and following seas in your journey through life. www.hmsgm.com -1- 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 HMS Ferries Coursen Crew Rescues Man in Less than Three Minutes HMS Government Services Seaward Services Rescues Three Men from Sinking Boat HMS Overnight Cruises American Queen brings baseball legends to theme cruise Safety, Quality, & Environment Mooring Safety HR Update What to Expect After Open Enrollment Money Matters The Social Services Conversation LogoMania Recipe of the Month Employee Spotlight Tim Loesch Employee Forum Job Postings, New Hires and Transfers HMS Global Maritime Charting Success on a Global Scale HMS FERRY DIVISION Pierce County, WA Oklahoma City, OK Gees Bend, AL Mobile Bay, AL Corpus Christi, TX Jacksonville, FL Governors Island, NY Coursen Crew Rescues Man in Less than Three Minutes CORE VALUE: Safety First HMS Ferries, Inc. crews continually train to respond to onboard emergencies, but hope they never have to put the training to practice. A recent incident near Governors Island (located south of Manhattan and west of Brooklyn in New York City) required the crew of the Coursen to call upon their emergency training during an actual man overboard on June 22, 2014. On a run from Governors Island to Manhattan, a passenger jumped overboard from the second deck of the Coursen. Spurred by a $100 bet with a fellow passenger, the man overboard found himself in the middle of one of the busiest shipping channels in the nation. Another passenger alerted a nearby crew member and the Coursen crew immediately responded as trained. A “man overboard” call was announced, and the Captain maneuvered the vessel to begin Greg Dronkert preparations to recover the person in the water. While deploying a rescue boat, the President & COO Captain hailed a nearby New York Police HMS Ferries, Inc. Department marine patrol vessel to assist. The police vessel diverted to the scene and recovered the overboard passenger. Only three minutes had passed from the time the crew was notified to when the man was safely pulled from the water. All of the safety procedures that the crew had been trained on were executed flawlessly and admirably. The overboard passenger can thank his textbook recovery to the quick, efficient actions of the following Coursen crew: As Governors Island continues to flourish and draw more visitors to the area, safety aboard the Coursen will remain the highest priority, as it is with any of our vessel operations. Our ongoing commitment to safety and reliability will help us foster growth of Governors Island, as well as the entire company. This incident has been a great demonstration of why safety is of the upmost importance to HMS Ferries and throughout the HMS Global Maritime family of companies and why we all continually focus on safety and teamwork. Great work by the crew of the Coursen and all the men and women assigned to Governors Island for continually training to take swift action. Their efforts epitomize our Core Values of Safety First and Teamwork and are applauded by all.

The island is 172 acres of land that was previously a military base but now houses public spaces, not-for-profit educational facilities, commercial property and 22 acres reserved for and maintained by www.hmsgm.com the National Park Service. The Coursen has been primarily used for transporting construction and redevelopment crews and equipment, but has also started transporting passengers to and from the island on the weekends during the summer season.

The crew was conducting training and testing in the Chesapeake Bay Bridge area, near Norfolk, Virginia, when they noticed what appeared to be a half-sunk ship from afar. Another vessel had passed it without stopping, but Captain Elliott decided to alert the rest of the passengers onboard of the situation and move closer to investigate. Upon his arrival, he discovered the ship was a sailboat and was almost completely sunk. Only the bow and part of the port side was out of the water by the time they arrived. There was one man onboard who waved them down and two other men in the water, clinging to the boat and anything that would float. Captain Elliott notified the U.S. Coast Guard and then proceeded to get the men out of the water and follow procedures in place for a rescue incident. With a quick current in the area, he knew they would have to work quickly to get them out. The life ring was tossed out to each person, and they were pulled to safety. The man who was still aboard the sailboat was also pulled to safety by the life ring and was later identified as the owner of the sinking boat. He reported that the boat had been properly anchored, but had taken on a wave at the stern, which swamped the boat and immediately caused it to start sinking. All of the men were estimated to be around 70 years old. They were rescued safely, sustained no injuries and were transferred to the U.S. Coast Guard vessel. The Virginia Marine Police moved the sinking boat out of the area. A two-week training, for the rare occurrence of a rescue such as this one, takes place on a yearly basis with Seaward Services. While the company does not typically perform rescues like the U.S. Coast Guard, Captain Elliott, Ed Wilkins, and the other personnel onboard have proven that they are absolutely capable to do so, should the need arise. Robert Galvez, Norfolk General Manager for Seaward Services, explained that being trained and able to perform rescues when needed is part of their maritime responsibility. This incident is a great example of a “Safety First” mentality which is one of our HMS Global Maritime Core Values and a priority in any fine mariner’s life. When asked in a report why he performed the rescue, Captain Elliott responded with, “It is what we do.” All of us at HMS Global Maritime are grateful to have employees such as Captain Elliott and Mr. Wilkins on our team and proud that they have represented the character of Seaward Services, as well as the family of companies within HMS Global Maritime in the highest regards. Bill Annand President & COO Seaward Services, Inc. Thank you and great work!

In August, she will embark on a “Baseball Legends” tour, which includes stops in cities rich in baseball history and special guests onboard who have been influential to America’s favorite pastime. Ted Sykes President/COO American Queen Steamboat Company The nine-day voyage will start in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota on August 22 and end in St. Louis, Missouri on August 30. While cruising down the Mississippi River, the American Queen will make eight stops in towns along the borders of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri. Much of the history of the Midwest is housed along this route and will be presented to guests through the Hop-on Hop-off Tours at each destination. The highlight of this theme cruise is not only the spectacular scenery and history along the Mississippi River, but also the chance to interact with some of Major League Baseball’s living legends. Special guests include: Al Clark is regarded as one of the most unbiased Major League umpires in the history of baseball. In his 26-year career, Clark officiated 3,392 major league games including three American League Division Series, five American League Championship Series, two All-Star Games and two World Series. Dan Schlossberg, former Associated Press newsman, is the author of 35 baseball books, including The 300 Club: Have We Seen the Last of Baseball’s 300-Game Winners and Designated Hebrew: the Ron Blomberg Story. He hosts Thursday night podcasts on baseball — called Braves Banter — and travel (Travel Itch Radio) and is a frequent speaker on baseball. Dan has created and coordinated 24 previous baseball theme cruises, including several aboard the Mississippi Queen. Dan’s next book, due later this year, is Nothing to Hide: My Journey from the Big Leagues to the Big House, written with former umpire Al Clark. Dan is a native of the Bronx and was raised in Passaic, N.J. He resides in northern North Jersey. Getting the chance to interact with all of these special guests throughout a uniquely American river cruise is something that is exclusive to the American Queen. It is an event that is planned and presented with much excitement and enthusiasm, as are many other theme cruises. For a complete list of these special cruises, check out American Queen Steamboat Company’s website at www.aqsc.com. Major League umpire, Al Clark, is shown here during a game in 1992. Ron Blomberg made his career debut playing for the New York Yankees in 1969 and later became the MLB’s first “Designated Hitter.” A pure athlete, Blomberg was offered 125 basketball scholarships and 100 football scholarships, but passed up collegiate sports to be the Yankees’ first pick overall in the 1967 amateur draft. Art Shamsky began his big league career when he signed with the Cincinnati Reds in 1965. When he retired in 1972, his career batting average was .253 with 68 home runs. Shamsky received national attention as a clutch-hitting star of the 1969 World Series Champions, the Miracle Mets. He batted .538 in the National League Championship Series against Atlanta, helping the Mets sweep the favored Braves. Shamsky was inducted into the New York Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, as well as the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 1994. Fritz Peterson got his big league break as a lefty pitcher for the www.hmsgm.com New York Yankees in 1966 and remained with the team until 1974 at which time he started with the Cleveland Indians. After two years with the Indians, Peterson enjoyed a short stint with the Texas Rangers before retiring in 1976. Peterson had the best strikeout-to-walk ratios in the American League in 1969 and 1970 and also led the league in fewest walks per 9 innings pitched 5 years in a row, 19681972. -4- “Al Clark 1992” by NJ Baseball - Meet the ump.

Keep an eye out for all members of the team. If you think they are in an unsafe position, alert them. CORE VALUE: Safety First The mooring of vessels within the HMS Global Maritime fleet is a daily occurrence; whether it be on a steamboat on one of America’s great rivers, a High Speed Vessel racing between ports in the Western Pacific, a research vessel returning to port in Newport, RI, a passenger ferry in Washington, Texas, Alabama, Florida or New York City, a small craft that is part of one of the port operations sites, or an excursion boat in Oklahoma. HMSGM mariners get a lot of practice with the mooring evolution and, as a result of the repetition of this particular phase of docking a vessel, some mariners may become complacent over time. 3. All operations need to be carried out calmly without rushing the operation. Rushing leads to slips, trips and falls. In a recent article on safe mooring in a Danish maritime journal called Seahealth, safety precautions and guidance are highlighted and illustrated brilliantly. (See link below for full article.) The article is very comprehensive and provides an excellent training vehicle for citing specific sections at weekly or monthly safety meetings aboard ships or at the various shore and port operations sites. Also included in this article is a list of ten general rules for mooring which are listed below. 6. Never heave blindly on a line when no one is watching what is happening on the other end. Link to full Seahealth article: http://www.seahealth.dk/sites/default/ files/Guidance_Mooring%20-%20do%20it%20safely_0.pdf 4. Never lose sight of what is going on around you and have an escape route from any likely danger (e.g., avoid being trapped against a bulwark, bollard or other obstacle when the line parts). 5. Always put an eye onto a bollard or bitts by holding the eye either on its side or by a messenger line to avoid getting fingers trapped against the bollard should the line suddenly snap tight. 7. Never try to be heroic by jumping onto a line that is clearly running over the side and out of control as you are likely to go overboard with it. 8. Never run more than one line around a fairlead sheave as the lines chafe through quicker and the sheave is really only strong enough to take the load of a single line under tension. 9. Never use any equipment that is obviously faulty. If you notice any line that is seriously frayed, knotted or unraveling, report it immediately and find an alternative arrangement for the mooring line being used. 10 Rules of Thumb for Mooring 1. Always wear the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) which is an important part of proper preparation considering that PPE is the last line of defense. 10. Never let go of a mooring line under heavy load without first determining why the load is so heavy and then take the proper precautions if it must be let go. 2. Always consider whether you are in a snap-back zone and never (Find the answers on page 10.) Nejstgaard, Lars-Ole. Illustration. Seahealth Denmark, 2013; pgs 6-7.

A smart decision today can have a big impact over time. THE SOCIAL SECURITY CONVERSATION & The Art: Emotions often influence Social Security decisions. Can you relate to one or more of these common scenarios? Common Perceptions It is what it is. Whatever I do won’t really make a difference. I’m entitled— it’s my turn. It might not be there for me. I just want to retire. I’m taking benefits as soon as possible. We want to enjoy life while we can. I'm not going to live very long. $ The Reality Out of My Control Bird in Hand You have more control than you think. Don’t shortchange yourself. Tunnel Vision Keep your sights on the big picture. Health Concerns Smart planning is about covering your bases. • Not having the facts could be a costly mistake. • People are living longer, more active lives than ever. • Many factors should go into your decision. • Consider the impact of your decisions on your spouse. • The right strategy could double your income from Social Security. • A thoughtful strategy could affect benefits over both your lifetimes. • Taking benefits early is like leaving money on the table. • The future of both the Social Security program and the stock market is unknown. • Consider the merits of “practicing retirement” while delaying benefits. • Plan for a lasting source of income, one affected less by market conditions. • Waiting increases your benefits by adding 7% to 8% a year.* Bottom Line: What you don’t know about Social Security could cost you. Did you know that... …Many people start Social Security as soon as possible—in fact, 78% of preretirees take it at age 62.* * …Waiting increases benefits by 7% to 8% a year, plus cost-of-living adjustments—guaranteed.^ • Better facts, better decisions, better outcomes • Greater confidence and overall retirement security • Potential for thousands of dollars in increased benefits a year …The difference between collecting benefits at 62 and 70 could be thousands of dollars.
