The Chamber of Shipping of America (CSA) last week awarded Jones F. Devlin Awards for 2010 to 16 companies that own and/or operate vessels manned under contract by members of American Maritime Officers. Devlin awards are presented to companies with vessels that have operated for at least two years without a lost-time injury. The CSA also recognized vessels that performed feats to save a life, a ship or other property in 2010 with the Ship Safety Achievement Awards.
The awards were presented June 2, 2011, during the CSA Safety Awards Luncheon in New Orleans, La. More than 180 people representing more than 70 companies and organizations, including American Maritime Officers, attended the annual industry-sponsored event, now in its fifty-third year.
The AMO-contracted vessel S/S Cape May, operated by Ocean Duchess Inc. in the Maritime Administration's Ready Reserve Force, received a Ship Safety Achievement Letter of Commendation.
"This year, we gave awards to 1,288 vessels that operated 7,284 years without a lost-time incident," said CSA President Joseph Cox. "This extraordinary record is directly attributable to the professionalism of our seafarers and the dedication of shore-based company personnel to safe operation."
Among the companies that own and/or operate vessels manned by AMO receiving 2010 Devlin Awards for the performance of AMO-contracted vessels were Crescent Towing, Crowley Petroleum Services, Crowley Technical Services, General Dynamics - AMSEA, Interocean American Shipping Corporation, Keystone Shipping Co. (Key Lakes), Maersk Line Limited, Ocean Duchess Inc., Ocean Shipholdings Inc., OSG Ship Management Inc., Seabulk Tankers Inc., Seabulk Towing Inc., Sea Star Line LLC, Teekay Corporation, Totem Ocean Trailer Express and USS Vessel Management LLC. The U.S. Maritime Administration was also presented with a 2010 Devlin Award.
The Chamber of Shipping of America represents 33 U.S.-based companies that own, operate or charter oceangoing tankers, containerships and other merchant vessels engaged in both the domestic and international trades, as well as entities that maintain a commercial interest in the operation of such vessels.
