In this issue

Before the Internet, most mariners expected to be out of touch when at sea. Now, they want increased connectivity to talk with family and friends. In its August issue, Professional Mariner examines how vessel operators are balancing the cost with the value of keeping crews plugged in. At the expanded Panama Canal, benefits are being limited by shortage of tugboats and qualified crews, according to a leading mariners' union. The canal authority disagrees, and we take a look at both sides. Coverage in August also includes the largest Jones Act penalty ever assessed for using a foreign-flagged ship to transport a jack-up rig in U.S. waters, and a profile of San Francisco's new fireboat – the powerful Vigor-built St. Francis.
