The Chamber of Shipping of America (CSA) this month awarded Jones F. Devlin Awards to 15 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 lives, a ship or other property with Ship Safety Achievement Awards.
The M/V Ocean Titan, which is manned in all licensed positions by AMO, was one of two ships to receive Top Honor, the highest Ship Safety Achievement Award presented by the CSA. In December 2011, the Ocean Titan rescued all seven crew members from the M/V Florece after the vessel sank in extremely rough seas.
The awards were presented June 12, 2012, during the CSA Safety Awards Luncheon in New Orleans, La. More than 160 people representing more than 80 companies and organizations, including American Maritime Officers, attended the annual industry-sponsored event, now in its fifty-fourth year.
"This year, we gave awards to 1,395 vessels that operated 7,015 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 under contract by AMO receiving Devlin Awards for the performance of their vessels were Crescent Towing, Crowley Technical Management, 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., Sea Star Line LLC, Seabulk Tankers Inc., Seabulk Towing Inc., Teekay Corporation, Totem Ocean Trailer Express and USS Vessel Management LLC. The U.S. Maritime Administration was also recognized for the safety records of vessels operated by IAS.
The Chamber of Shipping of America represents 37 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.
