Idaho may not be the first state you think of for bustling ports, but its port serves as a transportation hub for wheat, timber, and other essential goods, thanks to the maritime workers who operate it. Despite facing various hazards, these workers are safeguarded by the Jones Act, which offers critical protections for seamen injured while performing their duties. We understand the challenges maritime workers face and can help explain your rights. Watch: https://hubs.la/Q02F77V30 #vbattorneys #maritimeattorney #jonesact

This is a massive effort: Huge impact to workforce and the set back to understanding Why? This was not already a safety concern with no measures in place to avoid a catastrophic event like this from happening: Loss of life, An engineer lasp of no counter measures in place that can provide support to avoid something like this from happening: Economic set back with now NTSB maritime leadership will express safety and economy security measures on all other ports that have possible lack of safety measures in place, port modifications are needed across the entire globe to help move global trade to its safest and innovative levels to keep moving the economic wheel moving. #Forwardthinkingglobally

CALL FOR CITIZENS AND MARITIME INDUSTRY TO STOP RECKLESS, UNINFORMED LEGISLATION! The members of the Towboat and Harbor Carriers Association of NY NJ (TBHCA) strongly oppose the irresponsible passing of 2024 USCG Authorization Bill (HR 7659), which contains the Hudson River Protection Act preventing anchoring in the Hudson River. This Bill has passed the house without the maritime industry’s input and has now been sent to the senate for a vote. Anchorages in the Hudson River allow tugboats and barges to safely anchor for favorable transit tides and currents providing necessary oil, fuel, cargo, and necessities to residents which has been essential in the prevention of supply chain shortages and its inflationary effects. This Bill puts the safety of the maritime industry at risk, and we find it unfathomable that Congress can dictate safe navigation without opposition from the USCG demanding safe navigation policy for all mariners. USCG headquarters should be fighting this infringement in their mission of ensuring safe navigation on the nation’s waterways. If this is allowed in New York/New Jersey, rivers across our Nation are at risk for the same with local politicians affecting commerce up and down rivers from every district. When there is a shortage of heating oil or gasoline in the Port of Albany this winter, people of the area will not be able to hold Congressmen Ryan and Lawler accountable for this Bill, it will be our New York Senators that must answer to this willful act of negligence. It is ironic that this Bill passes during Fleet Week when we celebrate the maritime industry, while the passing of this reckless legislation endangers it.   This bill will have catastrophic impacts on our economy and environment. We need the Maritime Industry and all citizens to support opposition of 2024 USCG Authorization Bill (HR 7659). Doing so will support clean environmentally friendly maritime transportation that removes heavy trucks from our roads and bridges - a small 50,000-barrel barge removes approximately two hundred (200) trucks from roads, while utilizing a small fraction of the fuel. Thank you for your support! Terry DeMeo Chairperson Towboat and Harbor Carriers Association of NY NJ, Inc. P.O. Box 10986 Staten Island, NY 10301 Chair@TBHCA.com (917) 509-7627

Inland Marine coverage is not about covering boats. So, what is inland marine coverage? Check out this article and schedule a time with me to discuss it further.

Lighthouses & Transportation? Did you know one of George Washington's first priorities was improving navigation for mariners which included having the federal government assume ownership over the 12 original colonial lighthouses? Read about it here https://lnkd.in/ecZ3Zx6n

🔴NEW: Scotland's marine protection efforts, especially the proposed Highly Protected Marine Areas, have faced scrutiny in recent years. In our series, 'Scotland’s Seas in Danger,' Ferret Fact Service explores the current state of marine protection https://lnkd.in/eQXf7BDD

“Currently TMX shipping accounts for only 6% of the total marine traffic in the Salish Sea. We are concerned with 100% of the marine traffic and its associated impacts to our livelihoods as Indigenous people. “To address the risks and impacts of marine traffic, the IAMC must move from A [Advisory] to O [Oversight], and this requires cooperation and participation of all parties. The IAMC Marine Shipping Subcommittee is already doing the things that some of the federally led initiatives are aspiring to do. We are Indigenous led and it’s taken us a significant effort and many years to get to where we are today, to work in cooperation with the impacted communities on the south coast of Vancouver Island. “Having an Indigenous led group like ours allows for less bureaucracy in order to move our work in ocean protection, safety, and monitoring forward. We need to continue to be bold, take action, and protect the land, water, and our food sources.” Trina Sxwithul’txw Vancouver Island Southeast Chair, Marine Shipping Sub Committee The IAMC Indigenous Caucus met on Jan 10-11. Marine protection and the future of the IAMC were central to our discussions.
