A good video to watch regarding fire fighting on a cruise ship. A great job done by the crew of star princess putting the fire out. With cruise ship fires smoke inhalation can be worse than the fire especially if toxic glues have been used in the furnishings and bulkheads which was the case in the Scandinavian star in 1990. Regular real life training at fire courses for crew is essential for them to experience what it’s like in the fire tank. Unless you have been a fire you can’t appreciate and anticipate what the feelings are when tackling the various requirements . #shipsandshipping #cruiseships #firefighting

Hello LinkedIn friends, family, and acquaintances, today is NATIONAL MARITIME DAY - May 22! Each year on May 22nd, National Maritime Day recognizes the launch of the maritime industry in the United States. The celebration also honors America’s Merchant Marines for their contributions and sacrifices for our country. Special acknowledgment is given to ships and seafarers that have held a prominent place in our nation’s history. As one of the oldest industries, its time-honored traditions compose a full and rich history. Celebrations and ceremonies around the country recognize the people our maritime nation depends on. Each year the Department of Transportation holds a national ceremony in Washington D.C. at the Department of Transportation headquarters. While the holiday commemorates a transatlantic event, U.S. maritime industry encompasses nearly every state in the nation with workers transporting vessels on lakes, rivers, and oceans. Employment opportunities aren't limited to shipyards either. The maritime industry also calls for workers with expertise in fishing, aquaculture, processing, diving, and transportation, just to name a few. #NationalMaritimeDay #DallasHarrisTips+

This article highlights a crucial challenge for the US maritime industry. While attracting new US mariners is essential, exploring talent from Latin America and the Caribbean could provide a much-needed boost. Streamlining credentialing processes for qualified mariners from these regions could unlock a significant pool of skilled personnel with the consequent redeployment of US mariners currently employed in non-essential roles to be transitioned to fill critical gaps. #maritimeindustry
