PRESIDENT’S NOTES
SAVE THE DATES
I recently received a call from a newspaper reporter. He
had heard my time is expiring, as president that is, and
wondered if he could interview me before the Conference.
I said sure, and asked if there was anything in particular he
wanted to cover. Nothing special was his reply, maybe
something about my time as CMA president. I like broad
topics so I told him I would be in touch.

Stamford, CT 06902
When the tape recorder rolls this week, I intend to say
something along the following lines: the past 4 years have
gone by in a blur, each year more or less indistinguishable
from the other. That is what happens in a boom market.
The war stories are all about successes, not failures, and
everyone appears to be in a giddy mood all the time. There

I was very fortunate to come along in April 2004 at the start
of the boom. I stepped behind the wheel of a car that Don
Frost had tuned up, and which Johnny K was about to rev
up as never before. Membership would soon nearly double, and the Conference was about to go through an annual growth spurt that would crown it as one of the leading
shipping conferences of the industry.
I claim no credit. I may as well have been blindfolded
behind the wheel. With unflinching commitment the Board
of Governors kept the car on the road, while Jim Lawrence,
Don Frost, Lorraine Parsons, and the team at IMS did
everything else.

FROM
THE
If you will pardon the hyperbole, this one you have to
attend, but hurry. Accommodations at the event hotel are
long gone but there are other hotels nearby if you move
quickly. For our local members, this is an event you must
make time for.
EDITOR
You missed something special if you could not attend the
February 28th luncheon. With his usual panache Johnny K
orchestrated one of the liveliest luncheons we have had.
More than 80 people enjoyed the ambiance, the briefly
sunny and warming weather and the company of some
interesting people. Gary Jobson is not only a top notch
America’s Cup sailor, author, TV commentator but also a
great story teller. Thanks Johnny!
On another topic I must recommend to your reading, especially if you are American, the US Maritime Administration’s
“A Vision of the 21st Century” that was released about a
month ago. The 48 page document can be downloaded
from MARAD’s website, www.marad.dot.gov. It is a good
review of what was good, is good and could be better in our
domestic industry, and it is readable. Bravo Zulu - Sean C.
and company.
Shipping 2008 will likely exceed all previous Conferences
in terms of speakers, delegates, exhibitors, sponsors, and
media coverage. The “buzz” (if e-mail volume and content
can be counted it would be deafening) actually started with
the willingness of Congressman Cummings (Chair, House
Sub-Committee on Coast Guard and Marine
Transportation) to speak. The issue of funding of the Coast
Guard, its missions and perceived mission conflicts followed.
I am often asked why I continue to write for the Newsletter
after more than 15 years. To which I reply that I see myself,
as the private detective Guy Noir (“A Prairie Home
Companion” on NPR radio), trying to answer “life’s persistent questions”: What is the meaning of life, health care and
the Jones Act.
See you at Shipping 2008
Don Frost
Another high point also centers on the Coast Guard with a
session featuring four Captains of the Port responding to
real operational issues that many of you have complained
about. The session was initially modeled on NAMO’s annual meetings in Washington about which I have written in the
past. In addition to the COTPs, we will have two Rear
Admirals from Coast Guard headquarters to respond to
questions on policy.
MEMBERSHIP NOTES
We are pleased to welcome the following new members:
Nancy Anderson, Ops Manager,
A new issue seems to be forming around the dawn raid
early this month on the headquarters of the International
Association of Classification Societies (IACS), and at least
three of its members (BV, DNV and LR), by the European
Commission’s Competition Directorate. The stated reason
is “alleged restrictive business practices”. It is too soon to
report exactly what that is all about but the effect seems to
be having a chilling effect on what even some maritime
associations are willing to discuss in public. If you will
excuse the “I told you so”, I warned (Oct. 17, 2007 meeting
at the Yale Club re Shipping Pools) that the Directorate was
not finished with our industry. Next victim – marine (cargo)
insurance?

CMA 2008 ELECTIONS
Each year on the occasion of the Annual General Meeting,
CMA elects new officers and governors. On April 24, 2008
we will elect six people to serve two year terms. In keeping
with our goal to bring new people on to the Board of
Governors, we have two candidates who have never
served before.
Registration/Lunch commences at Noon
Shotgun start at approx 1:30 PM
Dinner in the tent directly following the afternoon of golf at
around 6:00 PM until late.

We will stay with our latest format which is the “Simple
Scramble” format. This means it is now in essence a team
event, but be assured that, as always, we will have plenty
of prizes to give out at the end of the day.
So come on and sponsor a hole at this year's outing. You
will receive a custom-made hole sign, huge praises at the
dinner, an acknowledgement in our newsletter, and of
course, the great appreciation of all the golfers and the
CMA Board of Directors. Hole sponsorships are priced at
$250 each, and again make checks payable to "CMA" and
send to our address noted above or call for credit card payments.
The First Place Team will be presented with the “Graydon
Michael Webster Cup”, which currently resides in the office
of the CMA Treasurer, Bob Pascarella of The Professional
Associates. Bob is hoping to keep it there and the challenge is on!
Johnny Kulukundis will once again sponsor the beverage
cart – thank you Johnny!
To participate in this year’s Spring Golf Outing, the cost is
$175 per person (holding steady for the past five years!)
and includes green fees, golf carts, lunch, dinner, open bar
and, of course, lots of great prizes.
We hope that you will join us on May 1 for another great
afternoon of golf.
Best wishes,
Lorraine Parsons, CMA Event Director
The outing is always full, so please register early by calling
to reserve your place and then sending your checks in
ASAP to secure your spot.
EIGHT BELLS
If you don’t play golf, stop by for dinner and cocktails in the
tent after work – the cost for the Dinner only is $50 per per-
Once again it saddens us to note the passing of someone
who has been helpful to CMA. Captain George L. Maier
passed away in Baltimore last month at the age of 80.
son.
Each foursome must have at least one CMA Member in
good standing. We also accept individual reservations and
we will team up individuals for play.
Captain Maier was the master of the 1944 built LIBERTY
ship SS JOHN W. BROWN when she visited New London,
CT in 2003. Under Johnny Kulukundis’ leadership CMA
held its own Maritime Day (May 22) reception aboard the
vessel that year for our members and those stalwarts
whose shipping careers and/or companies started with
Liberty ships.
Please make checks payable to "CMA" and send to:

Born in Brooklyn, NY, he received a Bachelor of Maritime
Science degree from the New York State Maritime
Academy at Fort Schuyler (a year or two before the formation of the State University of New York). He had a long
sea-going career with various US shipping companies and
a longer career with US Lines ashore. He had served as
the JOHN BROWN’s master from 1992.
Call Lorraine at: +1.203.406.0109 Ext 3717 if any questions at all or if you prefer to pay with a credit card (Visa,
MasterCard or American Express).
SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES……
I had the opportunity to accompany the JOHN BROWN
from Montauk to New London in 2003. It turned out that
Captain Maier was a classmate of one of my navigation
instructors. He was a master mariner, generous teacher
and a welcoming host. He will be missed.

A great deal of our past success can be attributed to the
generous "Hole Sponsorship" of our members. It provides
for the great prizes that are presented at the dinner, which
are numerous and always so popular.

NORTH AMERICAN MARITIME MINISTRY ASSOCIATION
(NAMMA) SILENT AUCTION
Artwork of Carl Evers (1907-2000)
The North American Maritime Ministry Association will be holding
its Third Annual Silent Art Auction during the CMA's Shipping
2008. This year's auction features the works of Carl Evers (19072000), one of the most famous artists of commercial maritime
subjects and themes.
the Charter Oak Boardroom to view these amazing works, and
place your bids!!
Background on J. Russell Jinishian Gallery
The J. Russell Jinishian Gallery specializes in fine Contemporary
and Antique Marine and Sporting Art from Europe and America.
J. Russell Jinishian, Director, is recognized as the nation's leading authority on contemporary marine art. Mr. Jinishian is the former Director of the Maritime Gallery at Mystic Seaport Museum.
Through close contacts with the world's top marine artists developed over the past 15 years, the J. Russell Jinishian Gallery is
proud to be able to offer discriminating collectors unparalleled
access to the very best marine and sporting art available in the
market at any time. On hand is an extensive inventory of over 250
paintings, drawings, scrimshaw, and ship models in a wide variety
of subjects, styles and price ranges. The Gallery offers changing
exhibitions and opportunities to meet the artists through lecture
programs.
Born in Germany, schooled at the Slade School in London, his
first job was as an automotive illustrator in Sweden. In 1947 he
moved to the United States, traveling there by freighter. He soon
was busy full time painting tugs, liners, freighters and the working
waterfront for every major line, including Cunard, Grace Line,
Farrell Lines, United Fruit and Moran Towing.
For 13 years, he chronicled all the comings and goings in the Port
of Philadelphia for the Philadelphia Electric Company. His paintings appeared regularly in Yachting, Saturday Evening Post, and
nineteen times on the cover of Readers Digest. While original
paintings of his have virtually been unseen in the marketplace
over the last 20 years, just recently his estate has made available
a collection of paintings and drawings directly from Evers' own
studio at the time of his death.
NAMMA wishes to thank the J. Russell Jinishian Gallery for their
generous support of this auction. Every dollar raised is meaningful and we appreciate your enthusiasm for the art works and generosity in the auction. Please enjoy the show and thank you.
Proceeds from the auction benefit the work of port chaplains who
minister to seafarers throughout North America. Please stop by

that it is reflagging the ship in Hong Kong and will operate
her out of Singapore meaning NO US SEAGOING POSITIONS WILL BE SAVED!
The pre-cursor to and model for the Jones Act of 1920 was
the Passenger Vessel Services Act (PVSA) of 1886. The
PVSA outlaws direct US to US port calls by non-US

Miami and Los Angeles became the cruise capitals of the

Congressional waiver that allowed NCL America to operate
foreign built ships from mainland US to and between
Hawaiian ports. Recently the Customs and Border

US Coast Guard’s LRIT system is forecast to cost the taxpayers (us) $400 million and will not be in place until 2014.
Furthermore, the system that has been approved by IMO
(but has not started defining the system architecture yet),
will only track vessels out to 2000 miles (about 6 days to
the US for a tanker or bulker and less than 4 days for a container ship). The $400 million does not include the cost of
acquiring data on a day to day basis. A competing off-theshelf system commercial system can be had today for less
than $2 million plus about $1 million per year OPEX including accurate commercial data. That system can continuously track ships from ports of departure to port of arrival

UC AND JIC OPERATIONS &
HOW THEY AFFECT YOU
The US Army Corps of Engineer’s budget request for
By Darrel Wilson, US Coast Guard (public Affairs, retired),
MTI Network, Stamford,CT
Fiscal 2009 includes $2.638 billion for operations and
maintenance --- the part of the budget that is meant to
come from the Harbor Maintenance Tax. However, according the Office of Management and Budget the idea of a
Trust Fund is no longer recognized. HMT is a general revenue source and except for St. Lawrence Seaway operations, not one cent goes to maritime interests --- or so I
heard in Washington a few weeks ago. In the meantime, I
“misremembered” a factoid I wrote in my Post Card from
New Orleans last month. According to the New York Times,
it will take $225 Billion per year (I got the dollars right) for
50 years (I said 10 years) for the Corps to bring the inland
waterways into an acceptable state of repair.
Recent maritime incidents stretching from the east coast to
the west coast reinforce the need for a rapid and professional media response from ship owners and managers.
In 2005 the US Coast Guard started using the National
Incident Management System’s (NIMS) Incident Command
System (ICS) to manage an incident. NIMS-ICS is the recognized standard to managing responses in the US.
ICS is used to manage a response and divides it into components to be performed by the agency with responsibility
for the response. When more than one entity has response
authority, the coordinated response structure is managed
using a Unified Command (UC). To be a member of the UC
you must have authority and jurisdiction. UC members also
include the responsible party and their hired contractor.
SOCP EDUCATION
CONFERENCE
The Ship Operations Cooperative Program (SOCP) is
sponsoring a maritime and intermodal education conference for primary and secondary schools in America to be
held April 1-2, 2008 at the Maritime Institute of Technology
and Graduate Studies (MITAGS) Linthicum Heights (near
Baltimore), Maryland.
It is built around five major activities. (Notice the impor-
Educators and educational administrators will learn how to:
tance of the JIC in this UC structure.)
Unified Command - sets objectives, priorities and has
overall responsibility at the incident.
Operations - conducts tactical operations to carry out the
plan and develops objectives, organization, and directs
resources.
Planning - develops the action plan to accomplish the
objectives, collects and evaluates information, and maintains resource status.
Logistics - provides support to meet incident needs, as
well as resources and all other services needed to support
the incident.
Finance/Administration - monitors costs and provides
accounting, procurement, time recording, and cost analysis.
The basic UC structure looks like this.
• Find out about maritime focused primary and secondary
programs in the US
• Build interest and coalitions to support such programs
• Create mentoring programs and internship opportunities
• Connect with potential employers, and post-secondary
training and educational institutions.
The two day conference will feature US Congressman
Elijah Cummings of Baltimore, Sean Connaughton of
MARAD, US DOT, Homeland Security, US Dept of Labor
and union labor leaders.

they have. This occurs while all the other JIC responders
are traveling to the scene of the incident. Experience has
taught that the first couple of days during an incident are
marked by staffing up, setting up communications systems
and frequently trying to correct mis-information which
always marks the start of an incident. It is therefore vital for
the JIC to hit the ground running and recognize that it will
take a couple of news cycles to become the official source
the media turns to. Depending on the incident, anywhere
from 1 to 3 releases a day may be issued. In time relationships develop between the JIC members and the
media.
implementation of overall objectives and strategies, and
approves ordering and releasing of resources. Regulations
may state that you participate in the UC but it is not mandated that you participate in the JIC. It is in your company’s best interest to participate though.
As the days progress and everyone learns their role, this
system operates very smoothly. After a few days, the
media begin to learn who everyone is and what agency or
company they represent. Also, the JIC members identify
which media representatives to be wary of.
A JIC is a collocated group of representatives from agencies and organizations involved in an incident that are designated to handle public information needs. Under the UC
system, the JIC staff is one of the key staffs supporting the
UC. The JIC staff represents and advises the UC on public information matters relating to the incident.
One thing to remember is a JIC will take place whether you
participate in it or not. USCG public affairs policy dictates
“maximum disclosure, minimum delay”. If you want to have
a say about what is being released to the media concerning your company, then you must participate.
A JIC has 3 primary responsibilities:
•
To gather information
•
To inform the public
•
To analyze public perception
Immediately after an incident, there is high demand for
information. No matter the size of the incident, whether it
is a natural disaster or accident, the media and public, as
well as responders, require accurate and timely information. This dictates the establishment of a JIC. The JIC
structure is useful when multiple agencies and organizations come together to respond to an emergency or manage an event and need to provide coordinated, timely,
accurate information to the public and other stakeholders.
When everything works smoothly the JIC speaks with one
voice to the public and media.
Obligations of JIC personnel:
•
Develop and recommend public information
•
Gain and maintain public confidence
•
Be the first and best source of information
•
Gather information about the incident
•
Ensure timely release of accurate information
•
Monitor public perception
•
Inform UC of public attitude
•
Rumor control
This presents a unified voice and reassures the public and
media when they see federal, state and local officials along
with representatives of the responsible party speaking as
one. If there ever comes a time that the press releases
coming out of the JIC do not portray you, as the RP, in a
favorable light, you have other options. Nothing prevents
you from issuing your own company statements to the local
media and trade press. This is only done as a last resort
though. You will want to try to get your message through
the UC and JIC first.
During the beginning of an incident the first press release
will hastily go out by the USCG with whatever information
