The Chamber of Shipping of America (CSA) recognized more than 95 vessels operated under contract with American Maritime Officers with the Jones F. Devlin Safety Achievement Award during the CSA annual awards luncheon on May 28.
Devlin Awards are presented to companies with vessels that have operated for at least two years without a lost-time injury. Of the AMO-contracted vessels recognized this year, nine have operated 10 years or more without a lost-time injury.
CSA President Joseph Cox said: "We have been holding these annual award ceremonies since 1958. This was the fifty-seventh anniversary of the program. For that initial year, we honored six vessels having a total of 12 years operation with no lost-time incidents. This year, we gave awards to 1,601 vessels that operated 10,363 years without a lost-time incident. This extraordinary record is directly attributable to the professionalism of our seafarers and the dedication of shore-based company personnel to safe operation."
More than 180 people representing over 75 companies and organizations, including AMO, attended the annual event held in New Orleans, La.
Among the companies recognized that own and/or operate vessels manned under contract by AMO were Crescent Towing; Crowley Liner Services; General Dynamics American Overseas Marine; Intrepid Personnel & Provisioning (Crowley); Keystone Shipping Co. (Key Lakes); Maersk Line, Limited; Ocean Duchess, Inc.; Ocean Shipholdings, Inc.; OSG Ship Management, Inc.; Pasha Hawaii; Seabulk Tankers, Inc.; Seabulk Towing, Inc.; TOTE Services, Inc.; and U.S. Shipping Corp.
The Chamber of Shipping of America represents 35 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.
