Contamination of bunker fuels, particularly on the U.S. Gulf Coast, has affected scores of vessels. While the problem seems to have largely abated for now, experts suggest that the IMO's looming 0.5 percent sulfur cap might inadvertently create more problems with future fuel formulations. In the December/January issue, Professional Mariner examines the challenges and what might lie ahead for operators. In New York, the future looks bright for NYC Ferry, which has put together a 19-boat fleet in a tight time frame to serve the city's growing commuter base. Ride along as we look at where the line is heading next. Coverage also includes the growing communication and navigation threat posed by LED lighting on vessels; advances in LNG bunkering as the fuel takes hold in North America; and full maritime casualty news from the U.S. and Canada.

After a decade-long campaign by maritime industry stakeholders, Congress has authorized the expansion of the Houston Ship Channel for safer and more efficient navigation. In its June/July issue, Professional Mariner takes a closer look at the project to widen and deepen the nation’s busiest waterway, which has experienced a series of high-profile accidents as it accommodates increased traffic and ever-larger ships. We also cover Polar Star’s latest winter mission, which flipped the script by taking the Coast Guard icebreaker north to the Arctic instead of south to Antarctica; maintaining online hygiene to safeguard mariners and their vessels against cyberattacks; and the arrival of sunset for NOAA’s traditional paper charts for navigation. Plus Capt. Kelly Sweeney’s Mariner’s Notebook and industry-leading casualty coverage for the U.S. and Canada.

Mariners are hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves people. And while they have been no strangers to the professional classroom, the sudden switch to online distance learning during the pandemic was a shock to many. The good news is that trainers and trainees seem to be adapting and even learning to appreciate the new normal. In its May issue, Professional Mariner examines the pros and cons of going remote for instruction and what the long-term implications might be. Coverage for the month also includes icebreaking on the Mohawk River aboard the venerable tugboat Margot; the difficulties of vaccinating seafarers around the world to get ahead of COVID-19; and the resurgence of piracy in 2020 despite a slump in global maritime trade. Plus Capt. Kelly Sweeney’s Mariner’s Notebook and industry-leading casualty coverage for the U.S. and Canada.

Sexual harassment of female seafarers is widespread, many industry observers agree, and is intensified by unique aspects of the work: an overwhelmingly male workforce, long assignments in close quarters, and a culture of pushing aside conflict to fulfill senior officers’ expectations for smooth operations. In its April issue, Professional Mariner examines the deeply ingrained problem, which is proving difficult to eliminate despite growing awareness. Coverage for the month also includes the evolution of training for pilots in an era of ever-larger ships; new passenger vessel rules in the wake of the Conception dive boat disaster; and the pandemic’s toll on passenger ferry service. Plus Capt. Kelly Sweeney’s Mariner’s Notebook and industry-leading casualty coverage for the United States and Canada.

After less-than-enthusiastic support from the Trump administration, offshore wind power in the United States will get a new lease on life under the policies of President Biden. In its March issue, Professional Mariner examines the potential of a big payday for maritime stakeholders with the installation and maintenance of turbines subject to Jones Act regulation. Coverage for the month also includes the herculean salvage of the vehicle carrier Golden Ray more than a year after it capsized in Georgia’s St. Simons Sound; Vane Brothers’ reach into the Great Lakes with an asphalt barge operation; and new challenges for crew training as alternative marine fuels like LNG take hold. Plus Capt. Kelly Sweeney’s Mariner’s Notebook and industry-leading casualty coverage for the U.S. and Canada.

A series of oversight failures – chief among them the lack of a roving patrol and two exits that led to the same space –  proved fatal for 34 people trapped in a fire aboard the dive boat Conception. In the December/January 2021 issue of Professional Mariner, we examine the findings of the National Transportation Safety Board and what might be coming on the regulatory front to prevent a similar tragedy from happening again. Coverage also includes global efforts to help 400,000 seafarers return home amid the deepening COVID-19 crisis; the rise of pirate attacks on vessels and oil rigs in the southern Gulf of Mexico; and the latest in propeller and rudder innovations to improve efficiencies and cut costs. Plus industry-leading casualty coverage for the United States and Canada.

As COVID-19 gripped the planet in March, a “gangway up” order by the Military Sealift Command confined thousands of civilian mariners to U.S. Navy ships around the world. Six months later, “civmars” were still chained to their jobs — if not physically restricted — by coronavirus-related circumstances. In Professional Mariner’s October/November issue, we examine the mariners' plight and the response by officials. We also take a look at the growing use of aerial drones for safer ship inspections; a Great Lakes ballast water dispute that’s pitting American shipping interests against Canada; and the tug-assisted voyage of a World War II destroyer escort down the Hudson River. Plus industry-leading casualty coverage for North America.

The global pandemic has not spared new maritime academy graduates, who have found a once-reliable job pipeline clogged by COVID-19. Maritime employers are slow to hire as they face operations interruptions and the risk of outbreaks on ships, leaving many new grads in the lurch. In its September issue, Professional Mariner examines what comes next for those affected. Coverage for the month also includes a look at the latest cordage and what manufacturers are doing to keep pace with ever-larger ships and the tugboats that handle them; the dangers of failing to provide accurate data for automatic identification systems (AIS); congressional recognition for American merchant mariners who sacrificed so much for their country during World War II; and a ride aboard a powerful Crowley tug as the crew guides a bulk carrier on Seattle’s narrow Duwamish Waterway. Plus complete maritime casualty coverage for the U.S. and Canada.

The fight against COVID-19 involves nearly every aspect of the maritime industry: stranded mariners aboard ships at sea, including American seafarers with the Military Sealift Command; plunging ferry ridership and vessel transit cutbacks; and a new world of protocols for just about anyone heading onto any commercial vessel. But the industry is pushing through, from efforts to keep cargo moving at the Port of New Orleans and other key points, to the Coast Guard changing course to handle aspects of Subchapter M compliance remotely. In its August issue, Professional Mariner also examines recent advances in marine communication and tracks the latest in casualty news from across the U.S. and Canada.

Patrol Boats power up for the New Age. Crews and ports push through the Corona Virus pandemic and Bouchard bounces back.

Fire Safety and Training: Protecting a ship and its crew from fire involves high-quality equipment such as detectors, alarms, automatic fire suppression systems and firefighting gear. Equally important is the training. Bonus: Coronavirus takes its toll on port cargoes and global supply chains.

The tools and techniques for salvaging ships improved dramatically in the 20th century with the advent of more powerful pumps and a host of other advancements. The technological changes have continued in the 21st century as the need to safeguard the environment has become as important as the recovery of vessels and their cargoes. In the April issue of Professional Mariner, we examine the new focus and what it takes for salvors to stay on top of their game. Coverage for the month also includes industry concern over potential loopholes in a recent U.S. ruling on the Jones Act; a new study that links depression and anxiety among mariners to an increase in onboard injuries and illnesses; and financial problems at Bouchard Transportation that have stranded ATB crews on two coasts. Plus Capt. Kelly Sweeney’s Mariner’s Notebook and full maritime casualty coverage for the U.S. and Canada.

A strong economy, “baby boomers” reaching retirement age, and a growing wage gap with their seafaring colleagues have combined to create a perfect storm in maritime training, with the sector facing a potential shortfall of instructors across the United States. Find out what it means for all industry stakeholders in the March issue of Professional Mariner. Coverage for the month also includes a ride-along with Moran tugboat crews in the busy Port of Charleston; continuing pressure on the Coast Guard from the National Transportation Safety Board over duck boat safety rules; and whether the use of CBD oil for pain can put your merchant mariner credential at risk. Plus Capt. Kelly Sweeney’s Mariner’s Notebook and full maritime casualty coverage for the U.S. and Canada.

Beeps, buzzes and flashing lights are an increasingly common background for life on the bridge. Although intended to make operations safer, bridge navigational watch alarm systems (BNWAS) have raised concerns about alert overload and response fatigue among mariners. In its February issue, Professional Mariner examines the problem and what the experts say can be done to alleviate it.  Coverage for the month also includes a stepped-up Coast Guard inspection regime after a fire killed 34 people on the dive boat Conception; riding a Great Lakes ATB through icy winter duty; new global guidance on lifeboat testing; and worries among mariners that they’ll be on the hook for IMO sulfur cap violations. Plus Capt. Kelly Sweeney’s Mariner’s Notebook and full maritime casualty coverage for the U.S. and Canada.

A sweeping change in shipborne commerce will take effect on Jan. 1 with the implementation of the International Maritime Organization’s 0.5 percent sulfur cap. While operators in Emission Control Areas are already in compliance, big questions remain across North America about fuel quality and cost after the global shift. In its December/January issue, Professional Mariner examines what’s likely to happen and who will be affected. Moving beyond diesel, all-electric propulsion has proven viable for smaller commercial vessels. But can it step up to handle the demands imposed by tugboats and pilot boats? Many now believe the answer is yes, with plans in the works at Damen for the world’s first full-size electric tug. We also take a closer look at the challenges still ahead in the rollout of Subchapter M, and what led to the Conception dive boat disaster in California.

Record high water this spring and early summer took a heavy toll on barge traffic in the heartland, with river closures preventing key crops from reaching market. In its October-November issue, Professional Mariner takes stock of the damage as logistics networks struggle to catch up. We also listen in as Capt. Marc Deglinnocenti talks with Richard Balzano, MarAd’s second in command, about the future of autonomous vessels in the U.S. — are merchant mariner jobs at stake? Additional coverage includes a look at the difficult recovery of oil from a tanker torpedoed by a U-boat off Long Island during World War II, and the advent of hands-free mooring technology at locks along the St. Lawrence Seaway. Plus Kelly Sweeney’s Mariner’s Notebook and full maritime casualty coverage for the U.S. and Canada.

After decades of neglect and eventual slow progress, mariners have grown more accustomed to wearing safety gear or at least keeping it close at hand. The cudgel of regulation has made everyone pay attention, and more regulatory changes are being weighed. In its September issue, Professional Mariner examines how technology is keeping pace. We also take a look at the easing of offshore drilling rules and what it might mean for mariners in the Gulf of Mexico; a new Smithsonian Channel series that analyzes notable maritime disasters; and the challenges facing the new steward of New York state’s canal system. Plus Capt. Kelly Sweeney's Mariner's Notebook and full maritime casualty coverage for the United States and Canada.

As the next deadline approaches for the inspection of towing vessels under Subchapter M, industry members say the process is still rocky, with inconsistencies in the interpretation of regulations, unpredictable wait times for the processing of applications, and questions about enforcement. In its August issue, Professional Mariner examines what’s working and what’s not. We also take a closer look at the evolving world of mobile apps on the water, with new capabilities in navigation and communication making life safer and more connected for mariners. Additional coverage includes the latest on the IMO’s pending sulfur cap, a showdown over growing containership traffic in the Houston Ship Channel, and the industry’s leading maritime casualty roundup.

The age of autonomous ships is dawning, bringing with it the promise of new efficiencies and savings for operators. But what will happen when something goes wrong at sea? Who will be responsible, and how will regulators deal with determining liability? In its June/July issue, Professional Mariner takes a closer look at what might be at stake. Coverage also includes a ride aboard a Foss tugboat in Honolulu Harbor, where the busy crew handles ships carrying everything from containers to cows; the approval of $300 million for a new training ship for Massachusetts Maritime Academy; and an onboard look at Enhydra, the innovative San Francisco tour boat that is setting a new standard in hybrid propulsion. Plus Capt. Kelly Sweeney’s Mariner’s Notebook and industry-leading casualty coverage for the U.S. and Canada.

It was another difficult Antarctic voyage for Polar Star last winter, with power outages, a failed shaft seal and a fire plaguing America’s only heavy icebreaker. In its May issue, Professional Mariner covers the latest breakdowns as the Coast Guard awaits more help at the poles from newbuilds. We also look back – and ahead – at the Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue System, better known as AMVER, which has saved thousands of mariners over six decades and continues to add participants from around the world. Coverage this month also includes an autonomous first for the U.S. Navy as it sends a crewless trimaran from San Diego to Hawaii and back; growing pressure to eliminate hydrofluorcarbons (HFCs) as onboard fire suppressants; and an ambitious plan by Washington State Ferries to add 16 vessels to its fleet over the next 20 years. Plus Capt. Kelly Sweeney’s Mariner’s Notebook and industry-leading casualty coverage for the U.S. and Canada.

In a scene from a bygone century, tall ships made their way up the Mississippi River to grace New Orleans’ tricentennial celebration, handling inland navigation challenges with the help of local pilots and tugboats. In its April issue, Professional Mariner takes you along for the ride. Coverage for the month also includes the toll of the partial government shutdown on maritime interests; the Coast Guard’s newer, higher rate of random drug testing for mariners; hull coating innovations to keep one step ahead of the cling-ons; and congressional action that will allow the venerable riverboat Delta Queen to get back on the water. Plus industry-leading maritime casualty coverage for the U.S. and Canada.

The rollout of Subchapter M has come with a few bumps for towing interests, including what some operators see as discrepancies in manning requirements for similar vessels in different parts of the country. In its March issue, Professional Mariner examines what is happening and what is being done to smooth the regulatory transition. In the world of cybersecurity, a new survey is sounding the alarm about a false sense of preparedness among maritime companies in the U.S., with many facing “severe fallout” in the event of an attack. We also take a look at the long-awaited enactment of the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act, which replaces a patchwork of state regulations with a federal blueprint; a new lawsuit that continues the fight over pilotage rates set by the Coast Guard for the Great Lakes; and a call to overhaul the global STCW regime, the scope of which is being overtaken by technological change. Plus full maritime casualty coverage for the U.S. and Canada.

Hundreds of vessel operators worldwide will install emission scrubbers prior to January 2020, when the global 0.5 percent sulfur fuel cap takes effect. Industry analysts say the use of these systems, however, can create environmental problems and pose other potential risks. In its February issue, Professional Mariner examines the concerns and how they could affect shipping. In shipbuilding, we look back on 40 years of innovation in the development of pilot boats and where it has led, anchored by the evolution of the deep-V hull from Ray Hunt Design and longtime partner Gladding-Hearn. The February issue also brings coverage of key funding for inland waterways via the Water Resources Development Act of 2018; the appointment of former SeaRiver CEO Jack Buono as new master at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy; and the fate of the century-old Urger, the Erie Canal’s teaching tugboat, whose future is in jeopardy due to new safety standards. Plus full maritime casualty news from the U.S. and Canada.

American Ship Review 2019 covers newly constructed vessels from U.S. and Canadian shipyards, ranging from ferries, fireboats and patrol boats to tankers and LNG-powered cargo ships. ASR's Ship of the Year is Enhydra, a 128-foot, 600-passenger hybrid excursion boat built by All American Marine for Red and White Fleet of San Francisco. Outfitted with a lithium-ion battery-electric propulsion system, Enhydra is the largest hybrid tour boat in North America and one of just a handful of passenger vessels operating with similar propulsion worldwide. American Ship Review also profiles six other prominent vessels and examines trends that will affect key segments of the industry over the next year.

Duck boats have a long and checkered history as excursion vessels, leaving many fatalities in their wake. The capsizing of Stretch Duck 7 on Missouri's Table Rock Lake in July, at a cost of 17 lives, has amplified calls for stricter regulation. In its October/November issue, Professional Mariner examines what led to the tragedy and what the future holds for these amphibious vehicles. In towing, the Olmsted Locks and Dam is finally ready to open to commercial traffic, ending 30 years of delays and lost profits for the inland barge industry. Correspondent Brian Gauvin tours the Ohio River site and tracks why the process took so long. Additional coverage includes a look at fuel cells and the potential they hold for the future of marine propulsion; the possible impact of new steel and aluminum tariffs on U.S. shipbuilders; and incorrect AIS data posing a threat to the nation's towing vessels.

The debate over compliance with salvage and firefighting requirements at U.S. ports is heating up, with a new report criticizing the effectiveness of vessel response plans for Charleston and Long Beach-Los Angeles. But according to the U.S. Coast Guard, simulation-based evaluations in 16 ports – including those two harbors – found all of the plans to be satisfactory. In its September issue, Professional Mariner gets a line on both sides of the argument. Coverage for the month also includes the International Maritime Organization's first steps to regulate autonomous shipping; Metal Shark's acquisition of Horizon Shipbuilding and its steel-hull expertise; Washington State Ferries' move to convert its three largest vessels to hybrid propulsion; and the evolution of deck cranes to take on new challenges offshore. Plus the latest U.S. and Canadian casualty news.

The U.S. Coast Guard has issued its first certificates of inspection under Subchapter M. But the compliance deadline will arrive with many towing companies unprepared, and with uncertainty still surrounding the new inspection regime. Professional Mariner examines the challenges that remain and what needs to be done to overcome them. Our August issue also tracks the Coast Guard's Polar Star on its annual voyage to Antarctica, a transit marked by mechanical breakdowns that highlight a gap in U.S. icebreaking capability that isn't likely to close soon. Coverage for the month also includes maritime operators harnessing "big data" for efficiency and profit, congressional approval of funding for a new SUNY Maritime training ship, and the continuing dispute between tugboat captains and the Panama Canal Authority over manning and safety.
