- Enroll Now -
The Coast Guard still maintains that the deadline for licensed or documented mariners
to hold a TWIC is September 25, 2008.

OMSA strongly urges each member to enroll their personnel as soon as possible. Current TSA statistics show that approximately 18,000 persons are enrolling for a TWIC each week, with about 4,500 cards activated each week. That means the waiting list for card activation is getting longer each week.

For information and updates on the TWIC program, pre-enrollment, scheduling appointments, card production status reports and TWIC Enrollment Centers visit the TSA TWIC information website at http://twicinformation.tsa.dhs.gov.

Gulfport, Mississippi—March 19th

The TWIC information website provides personnel with a place to pre-enroll and check the status of cards after enrollment. It also provides information on TWIC eligibility and what to bring to the enrollment center.

TSA and its contractor Lockheed Martin are having some problems staffing the enrollment centers. Members who send their personnel to the enrollment centers should expect them to be running behind schedule, at times causing delays several hours long.

Note - The TWIC enrollment center for New Orleans
will not accept walk-ins. Appointments to apply for TWIC cards must be made online
and well in advance.

The Coast Guard has recently issued several TWIC policy notices. Members are advised that the Coast Guard issues interpretations of TWIC policy on its Homeport website. Go to http://homeport.uscg.mil and click on the TWIC link in the upper right hand corner of the page. Scroll down to the bottom of the TWIC page and click on Policy Advisory Council Decisions (PAC). Recent PAC decisions emphasize that the official identification of a Federal official or law enforcement official are considered equivalent to a TWIC. These officials when working in their official capacity are not required to hold a TWIC and may perform the escort duties of a TWIC holder.

TSA recently announced that holders of E-2 and B1/OCS visa’s are eligible for a TWIC.

TWIC enrollment center - Port of Panama City, FL: The center had some startup issues its first week, but should be functional now, albeit with a reduced staff.

TWIC enrollment center - Port of Gulfport, MS: Opens March 19th with a reduced staff.

At a meeting in London during the week of March 3rd, a subcommittee of the International Maritime Organization began a ulti-year process of reviewing the STCW code. One of the most significant developments for OMSA members is that the group has agreed to consider special training requirements for offshore vessels. This may result in some additions to the STCW code, such as training in the use of dynamic positioning and boat handling skills, but it could well result in less focus on training required to run big ships and a better focus on the specific skills needed to safely operate offshore vessels. The proposal to develop specific requirements for offshore vessels was put forward by the U.S. Coast Guard at the urging of OMSA and received support from a number of other countries.

The group is considering a number of other very important changes in STCW that could affect mariners on offshore vessels.
They include:

• Proposals to either drop or reduce the requirements for training in celestial navigation, on the theory that vessels are not
  required to carry sextants and the skills are rarely if ever used.
• A very controversial proposal by the European Community to require mariners to record their rest and work hours and to
  impose minimum rest or maximum work hour limits on the entire vessel crew.
• Increases in the types of training required under Basic Safety Training for new mariners. This would include fatigue
  management and environmental compliance training units.
• Changes in requirements for Near Coastal voyages that could make it more difficult for U.S. vessels to work off the
  coast of foreign countries in a near coastal mode.

These are all still discussion topics that will be hashed out at future meetings. The committee will meet two more times over the next year and may not complete its work until 2010. For additional information, contact OMSA President Ken Wells, who served as a member of the U.S. delegation. He can be reached at kenwells@offshoremarine.org or (504) 734-7622.

It does not appear that offshore workers will need passports to transit from U.S. Ports to offshore locations in the Gulf of Mexico. That guidance from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) comes at the request of OMSA and should clear up confusion over the new rules. As background, in order to beef up the border security, passports are now required to enter/reenter the United States from a location in the Western Hemisphere. Late in 2007, CBP issued regulations adding the requirement for passports for travel by air or sea from Mexico, Canada and other nearby countries. The wording of the regulations left many OMSA members confused over whether passports would be required for trips to and from the OCS.

OMSA requested a clarification from CBP on the passport requirements for personnel who travel offshore to vessels in support of OCS activities. OMSA presented two scenarios to CBP for consideration. A U.S. citizen departs a U.S. port aboard a U.S. vessel and goes offshore. In scenario one the person does not board any other vessel prior to returning to the U.S. aboard a U.S. flag vessel. In the second scenario a person boards a foreign vessel to work and then returns to the U.S. aboard a U.S. flag vessel. In response to OMSA’s request CBP responded:

“A departure solely to the OCS is not a departure from the U.S. for immigration purposes. In response to the scenarios that you present in your letter, the U.S. citizen does not make a meaningful departure from the U.S. and is not subject to an immigration inspection upon arrival; passports would not be required upon arrival at the U.S. port.”

However, OMSA members should be advised that the passport clarification does not change the requirement to file APIS and cargo information when leaving offshore locations that are not considered a “point” under U.S. law.

The development of the new medical standards policy for mariners is entering its final stages. The only substantive work remaining is the development of a new physical examination form for medical professionals to use when conducting a merchant mariner physical examination. While MERPAC has been working to finalize the official policy the Coast Guard has been using it as its standard for reviewing mariner physical exams. The greater detail and medical information required by the new policy may be increasing the number of mariners who require review of their record and require a medical waiver. Fortunately, the Coast Guard continues to report that the greater depth and breadth of medical records review has not resulted in the feared substantial increase in the medical rejection rate for mariners. In other words the greater paperwork may be a time consuming for mariners, but the vast majority of medical waiver requests are being approved.

OMSA continues to take issue with several areas of the proposed policy, especially the physical capacity standards that are not related to the requirements for work on an offshore support vessel. There are two more meetings of the workgroup prior to finalizing the report. Ken Parris will attend a meeting at the National Maritime Center (NMC) Offices March 18/19. The last workgroup meeting will be held April 8th the day before MERPAC meets in Dania Beach, Florida. OMSA will attempt to address this and several other areas before the document is finalized.

Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Thad Allen released two internal messages reminding all Coast Guard units that marine safety activities with U.S. and foreign mariners are to be conducted with the highest standard of professionalism and respect. In ALCOAST 108/08 Admiral Allen stated he had received reports from highly respected industry professionals regarding the lack of trust mariners have developed in the Coast Guard during law enforcement boardings and inspections.

Admiral Allen noted that the positive relationship between Coast Guard personnel and the licensed mariner is essential for the successful flow of commerce. The Commandant ordered Sector Commanders and Captains of the Port to solicit feedback from operators, individual mariners and industry association personnel. This feedback needs to identify any pending issues that need action, best practices and any other recommendations for aggressive action to address problem areas. These recommendations are to be made to the Commandants office by June 1st, 2008 for consideration in the Coast Guard’s continuing efforts to improve Marine Safety operations.

In reference to the Commandants message, Rear Admiral Brian Salerno, Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety, Security and Stewardship, released ALCOAST 109/08 that discussed in detail the diverse improvements the Coast Guard has made to its marine
safety program. The most immediate step that is being taken is the addition of 30 billets in the marine safety program. Twenty-four of those billets will be for training officers and senior marine inspectors and the remaining six billets will be reserved for civilians to serve in the suspension and revocation realm of inspectors within what the Coast Guard refers to as “Centers of Excellence” (COE). The first COE is being stood up near the NMC in West Virginia and they will contribute to the overall improvement of professional training for marine inspectors.

Rear Admiral Brian Salerno’s message:
http://www.uscg.mil/announcements/alcoast/alcoast_10908.txt

OMSA members are currently participating in the National Offshore Safety Advisory Committee (NOSAC) process on two major issues with the Coast Guard - The removal of the 6,000 GT ITC upper limit on the tonnage of offshore supply vessels and the
impact of changes to MARPOL Annex II on the carriage of Noxious Liquid Substances (NLS) on OSVs.

Members may recall the MARPOL Annex II issues from previous newsletters. In January of 2007 the International Maritime Organization (IMO) changed the list of cargoes that required carriage in chemical tankers. That change imposed a carriage limitation of 800 cubic meters or about 5,000 barrels on many of the substances carried by OSV’s, such as liquid muds. OMSA members working on a NOSAC subcommittee prepared a technical proposal to the Coast Guard requesting that liquid muds receive relief from the 800 m3 limitation. NOSAC presented the report to the Coast Guard. While the Coast Guard seems amicable to most of the proposals in the report, they have been unable to lift the 800m3 carriage limitation. OMSA and its members are continuing to work with the Coast Guard, NOSAC and the industry’s customers to resolve the technical issues surrounding the carriage of liquid mud.

OMSA members are advised that the carriage limitation does not affect current Gulf of Mexico operations and only limits NLS carriage on vessels working overseas. The Coast Guard has deferred any changes in domestic carriage until a future rulemaking that will bring domestic carriage regulations in line with the changes to MARPOL. The Coast Guard policy on the issue can be found in NVIC 03-06. http://www.uscg.mil/hq/g-m/nvic/index.htm

At the last NOSAC meeting industry took on a project to create the inspections, licensing and manning framework for OSV’s larger than the current maximum of 6,000 GT ITC. The committee is chaired by NOSAC member Ben Bordelon of Bollinger. The subcommittee will present a report to NOSAC for approval and forwarding to the Coast Guard at its April meeting. The current work product is using SOLAS, MARPOL and STCW requirements as the basis for developing a proposal.

Senator Lautenberg (D-NJ) introduced the Oil Spill Prevention Act of 2008 to require new vessels carrying oil fuel to comply with the MARPOL requirements to provide protection for fuel tanks (double hulls). The MARPOL requirements already apply to all new ocean and coastwise vessels with over 600 cubic meters of fuel capacity delivered after August 2010, but the wording of the law may add a few inland only vessels to the mix. Additionally the bill would provide for the establishment of an alternative merchant marine medical program. This alternative program would allow the Coast Guard to certify medical practitioners to issue medical certificates of fitness to mariners in lieu of the current Coast Guard only medical review process. A mariner who receives a certificate of fitness from a certified doctor would be considered fit for duty without a Coast Guard review of their medical condition. OMSA staff will track the progress of the legislation.

The recommended towing vessel inspection regime is based on a requirement that every towing vessel company and every towing vessel be part of a company Safety Management System (SMS). The proposed regulations includes assurances that a safety management system in compliance with the ISM Code will meet the SMS requirements.

The future Coast Guard boarding priority matrix will also give credit to classed vessels for compliance with the design, construction, machinery and equipment standards of the regulations and should give these vessels a low priority for compliance exams.

Under the proposal a company would be able to conduct vessel surveys (self-inspections) using either qualified company employees or third parties. However, external third parties will be required to perform audits of the company SMS program.

In the past four years, OMSA members and staff have been very actively involved in the development of these proposals. From the beginning, OMSA urged the Coast Guard to adopt an inspection program that:

1. Recognized that the tug and barge industry represents a number of different types of operations;
2. Accepted ISM as an approved safety management system;
3. Allowed operators “credit” for meeting SOLAS, Loadline or Class requirements;
4. Created a process for companies that are not SOLAS, Loadline or Classed.

The Coast Guard draft proposals appear to meet all four criteria.

The process to develop a proposed set of towing vessel inspection regulations is nearly complete. The final recommendations will be presented to TSAC for approval at its April 1st and 2nd meeting in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The Coast Guard will take the TSAC recommendation and use it in the development of the proposed regulations that will then be published in the Federal Register as a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. It is not known when the final proposed regulations will go out for public comment.

S.1578 has been reported out of committee and sent to the Senate floor for consideration. The bill, if enacted, would significantly increase ballast water management requirements and provide implementing legislation for the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004. The goal of the bill is to eliminate the spread of aquatic nuisance species through the installation of required treatment technologies by 2012. The installation of treatment technologies is based upon the assumption that approved technologies will be available at that time. Unfortunately, until the treatment systems are available vessels will have to comply with stringent ballast water control measures. These measures appear incompatible with a significant portion of offshore support work. The bill does provide for a “business hardship” waiver. These waivers would be granted under regulations to be developed by the Coast Guard. OMSA staff will track the progress of the legislation.

On March 14th, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its new rules for engine emission standards for marine diesel engines. The new standards referred to as Tier 3 and Tier 4 emissions standards have been in development for several years. Members may recall that EPA representatives spoke at the July 2007 OMSA membership meeting on the proposed rules.

The rule can be viewed at http://www.epa.gov/otaq/marine.htm.

OMSA has not completed a detailed review of the document yet. Currently new vessels are required to install engines that comply with the Tier 2 standard. The Tier 3 standards for new vessels will begin phase-in during 2009. The Tier 4 standards requiring catalytic after-treatment systems will phase-in beginning in 2014. For vessels that may work foreign designers of vessels to be built to SOLAS standards will be able to petition the EPA for an exemption from the Tier 4 after-treatment requirements. Vessels that operate primarily domestically that are built with Tier 4 after-treatment systems that receive contracts to work foreign will be able to petition EPA for permission to disable/bypass the after-treatment equipment if they will be working in an area where Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) or Urea is not available. OMSA will provide additional updates after completing a detailed review of the rules.

On February 14th, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee held a hearing on a bill that would force all ships calling on U.S. ports to meet stiff engine emissions standards. The bill, authored by committee chairperson Barbara Boxer (D-CA), is aimed primarily at reducing sulfur emissions from ships. A number of witnesses raised concerns over deaths caused by high sulfur levels in the atmosphere.

OMSA President Ken Wells testified at the hearing, urging Congress to let the International Maritime Organization finalize its work on emissions standards rather than acting unilaterally. He said that international standards would result in a level playing field and more uniform application of requirements around the world. He pointed out that OMSA member vessels were already working to meet EPA-mandated requirements for medium and high speed diesel engines and, because the U.S. acted alone in implementing those requirements, U.S. vessels were being put at a competitive disadvantage internationally.

On a related note, the IMO is set to consider engine emission standards for ships in March and potentially finalize those requirements in October. There is no word on when the Boxer Bill may be considered in the Senate.

The Coast Guard has set the calendar year 2008 minimum rate for random drug testing at 50% of crewmembers. This 50% testing rate is the same rate that has already been in effect.

Marine employers must submit their 2007 Management Information Systems to the Coast Guard no later than April 15th, 2008. These annual reports may be submitted via the following:

Mail
Commandant (CG-545)
U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters
2100 Second Street SW, Room 2404
Washington, DC 20593-0001

Electronically
http://homeport.uscg.mil/Drugtestreports

The Coast Guard has the option of lowering the testing rate if the rate for positive drug tests drops below one percent. However, the rate for 2006 was 1.3% and so the testing requirement will remain at 50%.

Coast Guard Policy Letter 07-03 “Guidance on the Inspection, Repair and Maintenance of Liftboats” provides
specific guidance on the unique aspects of liftboats. Under Subchapter L liftboats are held under the same
regulatory requirements as OSV’s; however, this policy offers guidance to Coast Guard marine inspectors and
vessel owners on liftboat-specific systems and maintenance including:

• Engineering related systems
• Steel wastage allowance
• Tailshaft inspection intervals
• Conducting liftboat drydock inspections
• Leg removal and inspection standards
• Jacking system maintenance
• Manning requirements

The guidance was developed as the result of a working group of OMSA members and Coast Guard personnel that
have been working on the inspection guidelines for more than two years.

A copy of the policy letter in its entirety can be found at: http://homeport.uscg.mil/cgi-bin/st/portal/uscg_docs/

Continuing with its efforts to improve the mariner licensing process, the Coast Guard has transitioned two more Regional Exam Centers (REC) to become field units to the National Maritime Center (NMC). Effective March 3rd, REC Memphis and REC Los Angeles-Long Beach have joined the NMC’s streamlined process.

Mariners are reminded that they will still need to verify their identity, get fingerprinted and take the necessary tests at the REC’s. Once the mariners application is completed, it is then sent to the NMC for evaluation, security checks and medical evaluations. By the end of the year, all REC’s will have transitioned to the NMC.

For additional information on the REC transition process and improvements to mariner documentation, please go to http://www.uscg.mil/stcw/wnnmc.htm.

The Coast Guard National Maritime Center is responsible for mariner licensing and documentation policy and processes mariner applications for licenses and documents.

Companies and mariners can gain a wealth of information of the licensing and documentation process by browsing the content of the NMC website. Of particular interest is the “What’s New” page. Visitors to this part of the NMC website can choose from four categories of information covering regular NMC news, the NMC vision for the future of Coast Guard licensing, read the past issues of the NMC newsletter and see what process changes are going into effect.

To find out what’s new at the NMC visit http://www.uscg.mil/stcw/wnnmc.htm.

For participants to receive a letter of participation in the mandated Coast Guard vessel security exercise they must complete and send critiques from the company and each participating vessel to Tom Flis of HudsonTrident, preferably by email to Thomas.flis@hudsontrident.com. So far less than half of the participants have sent in the required critiques. The due date for the critiques was February 28th. HudsonTrident will produce the certificate and OMSA staff will hand them out at the April 22 OMSA meeting at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside. Please submit your critiques.
Failure to have proof of participation may subject vessels to detention by the Coast Guard.

OMSA is announcing two new sponsorship opportunities for members interested in promoting their companies at the quarterly meetings. The first involves sponsoring the morning coffee and refreshments for the Security and Human Resources Committees. The second is a sponsorship off the evening reception. Sponsoring members will receive recognition through meetings signs, printed material and recognition at the meeting.

OMSA is also inviting members to host a Lunch-and-Learn session during the quarterly meetings. This is in response to members who were looking for ways to bring together groups to talk about a company’s specific products or services. While this would not be an OMSA activity, the association would help with logistics and inviting
meeting participants to attend.

For more information on these sponsorship or Lunch-and-Learn opportunities please contact Kelly Thompson at
