Harley Marine aims to reduce its carbon HARLEY MARINE SERVICES footprint and be a custodian for the environment.

What does it mean to you to be a custodian for the environment?

The company has developed a robust environmental management program that is interactive and engaging for employees and customers alike. It has also initiated an energy management plan that includes reduction of fuel consumption by converting older engines to more efficient ones and incorporating shoreside electric power wherever possible. Additionally, hazardous material is disposed of in a way that eliminates environmental impact. Recycling programs for both vessels and shore side offices save on valuable resources while trash is carefully separated from compost and actual waste. Harley Marine also holds the patent to a self-contained Vapor Recovery Unit used during petroleum loading to capture and minimize harmful emissions.

In 2013, Harley Marine built a new, state-of-the-art, Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certified office building on Seattle’s waterfront. www.harleymarine.com The new Harley and Lela Franco Maritime Center incorporates water conservation, storm water management and solar power capabilities.

6 : History and Growth from Foss

In 1889, Norwegian immigrant Thea Foss had an enterprising idea: she purchased a used rowboat, repainted it white with green trim and rented it out along the Tacoma waterways. One rowboat turned into a fleet of hundreds. Within 15 years, Foss boasted several boat launches, a shipyard and other service vessels.

From these humble beginnings, Thea laid the foundation for one of the world’s leading marine transportation and harbor services companies. Today, Foss transports a wide array of cargo all over the world and assists vessels in ports throughout the West Coast, and . It also operates two full-service shipyards.

For 125 years, the men and women of Foss have helped safely guide some of the world’s largest vessels, and found innovative solutions to transporting sensitive cargo to remote locations and in harsh environments. Foss’ craftspeople built the world’s first hybrid tug and are engineering the next generation of vessels.

“The maritime industry is a fascinating and varied field, with a growing need for skilled and smart people,” said Paul Stevens, Foss President and CEO. “We’re excited to see what the future brings.” For more information visit Foss.com.

Foss ocean-going tugs towed the barge and another, also with tank modules, north while the Emmett and a second shallow-draft tug accompanied them to land the on the North Slope.

Economic and Environmental Impact: Puget Sound Pilots

Known for its unparalleled natural beauty, Puget Sound is also the gateway to Washington State’s strong trade economy. Each ship that comes into Puget Sound is handled by a highly trained marine , facilitating this delicate balance.

Over 7,800 times a year, Puget Sound Pilots board vessels entering or leaving our waterways. Over the last 25 years, Puget Sound Pilots has safely completed over 200,000 of these transits.

NOAA Ship RAINIER with Mount Rainier in the background

How many trained pilots do you think it took to make 200,000 trips through our waterways?

Puget Sound Pilots puts a priority on protecting the natural environment. Each of our pilots has completed significant training and testing, and has decades of experience. To even apply for a pilot’s license, a person must have at least two to four years of experience as the captain of an oceangoing vessel, tug boat, passenger ferry or military vessel.

In 2012, the maritime industry had a $30 billion economic impact on Washington. Pilots work around the clock to safely navigate cargo vessels, passenger ships, container ships and tankers through our waterways. Each year, Puget Sound Pilots facilitates the shipment of over $80 billion in cargo through our ports, from cars to apples. For more information visit pspilots.org.

Economic Impact: A Second Century of Maritime Success at the Port of Seattle

For over 100 years, the Port of Seattle has played a key role in growing and enhancing Seattle’s maritime economy. From cargo and cruise terminals to fish and industrial lands, the port provided much of the real estate, capital and leadership that made Seattle a center of trade, transportation and tourism.

It all started with Fishermen’s Terminal – the port’s first operational facility – which is celebrating its this year. In 1912, the Puget Sound Purse Seine Fishermen’s Association asked the port to create a homeport for local fishing boats. The facility opened in 1914 and today it remains the home of the North Pacific fishing fleet. It’s also a hub of vessel maintenance and repair activity that brings vendors and suppliers together with a network of fishing- and seafood- related businesses.

All of the port’s facilities and business are interconnected. For instance, many of the boats homeported at Fishermen’s Terminal catch fish in waters. Much of that fish comes to Seattle in frozen containers aboard barges that call at terminals on the River. The fish is then exported through port facilities. In fact, seafood was the port’s third largest international export commodity in 2013, with a value of $637 million.

The region’s diverse maritime economy generates 148,000 jobs. Those jobs pay an average of $70,000 a year – $20,000 more than the state’s median wage. Maritime jobs also tend to be stable. From 2007 to 2012 – the height of the Great Recession – the total number of maritime jobs in the state decreased by just 500. The stability and income provided by those jobs gives our economy greater diversity and resilience. As the port enters its second century, it is positioned to continue to bring economic benefits to the entire region and ensure that maritime industrial activities play a prominent role in our economy.
