Mission Statement of the Seamen's Church Institute of New York & New Jersey

The Seamen's Church Institute advocates for the personal, professional, and spiritual well being of merchant mariners around the world. Through its Center for Maritime Education, Center for Seafarers' Rights, and Center for Seafarers' Services, the Institute promotes safety, dignity, and improved working and living conditions for more than one million men and women serving in the maritime workplace . Founded in 1834, the Institute is a volun~ tary, ecumenical agency affiliated with the Episcopal Church.

The International Seafarers' Center, is a vital spiritual and community meeting place offering its recreational services to the whole port community. For 32 years, thousands of visitors have pushed the existing structure to its limit. SC I's Board of Trustees recently committed to the upgrading and moderniza tion of the building.

Volunteers from the tri-state area participate by ship visiting with our chaplains or sharing a special skill. Congregations also support these services by collecting much-needed men's winter coats, sundries for welcome bags and magazines, knitting for the Christmas-at-Sea program, or helping to host special " Evenings with Seafarers." The Rev. Francis Cho delivers a care package to truck drivers. Chil dren join seafarers, port workers, neighbors, and volunteers at SCI's annual Port Community Festival held at the Center, which brings together the community in a block-party atmosphere.

Members of the Dennis Roland Chapter of the American Merchant Marine Veterans (AMMV) enjoy a holiday party at the Center. The Institute also provides services and meeting space to AMMV's Edwin J. O 'Hara Chapter.

Strangers become friends "When serving a congregation that includes neighbors from across the world, a port chaplain must be able to find a com­ mon ground that goes beyond any single culture," said Dr. Smith. "When a chaplain and a seafarer talk at that level, it is a time of grace. Strangers become friends through the most basic forms of human interaction." That simplicity often translates to the art of conversation. "I facilitate discussions between groups of isolated people in tense situations. Thankfully, I have the privilege of putting the needs of the weakest first," said the Rev. James Kollin, an SCI port chaplain since 2000. Port chaplains serve day and evening shifts to accommodate the short visit by ships­ visits that can be frequently counted in hours. Each chaplain may board multiple ships during a shift. " One of the greatest challenges of this ministry is time.

Andrew O'Dell, a senior at the School of Theology at the University of the South, in Sewanee, Tennessee, recalled meeting an Egyptian crew. "The Egyptian crew members were desperate to use our cell phones to contact worried family members back home. They also looked devastated as European officers were allowed off the ship while they were denied shore leave. In order to start to comprehend the dynamics, we experienced a crash course in the effects of the global economy on developing nations, international legal issues, and America's security concerns. My head was spinning." Wesley Theological seminarians, Elizabeth Richards and Timothy McCullum, talk with a seafarer in Port Newark.

Ministry on the River staff members work hard to reassure mariners that we value their work and are deeply grateful to them and to their families. People in service clubs, schools, and churches - who previously knew nothing of this industry - are learning that crews regularly contend with rapid currents, icy decks, dangerous conditions, and loneliness. In these times of uncertainty we work with our partners in ministry to bring the mariner God's message of hope.

REASON #5: Erosion of legal rights and access to courts to protect those rights. Deborah G.

This right, UniversitfofTexas School of Law. called maintenance and cure, is so firmly established in maritime law that it is an assumed part of every lnariner's employment contract; no individual mariner can sign the right away by contract. In addition , because of high litigation costs, it is increasingly difficult for mariners to get into the courthouse to protect their rights.

REASON #4: The need for an expensive visa to go ashore in the United States . . Merchant mariners face denial of shore leave in the United States simply because they could not obtain a visa. For most seafarers (many of whom earn less than $500 per momh) , the existing $100 fee is excessive. The United States is the only maritime country that requires seafarers to possess a visa to apply for shore leave.

REASON #3: Difficulty in obtaining an expensive visa from a United States Consulate. The State Oepartmem is in the process of eliminating crew list 0-1 creWlnember visas without making allowances for accommodating an increase in individual 0-1 crewmember visa applicants that could occur. Mariners already face great difficulty getting appointments at consulates during the ir brief in-port periods .

REASON #2: Extra security duties without extra pay. Newly-enacted international and national maritime regulations require crewmembers to take on significant maritime security responsibilities for their ships and the ports they enter. Meanwhile, wages have not increased to reflect the new responsibilities, nor have ships' crew sizes increased to accommodate the additional duties.

In addition from the mistakes of others in order" to prevent it to meeting U.S. Coast Guard firefighting from happening again." C ME instructors use the term licensing requirements for engineering "Competent Error" to describe this problem because and deck licenses. college credit is also available for many CME-designed fire­ it highlights the absence of inadequacy or deliberate fighting courses. neglige nce on the part of the mariner. In essence, competent error occurs when mistakes or omiss ions are not detected early enough to avoid casualty. This might be due to a number of reasons, incl uding fatigue, complacency, familiari ty, over­ confidence, indecisiveness, ambiguous communications, and not recognizing the importance of essential ­ house procedures. Competent error is then a problem of attitude. Tra in ing therefore fosters (chiefly among the pilots and captains) an approach towards pilothouse management where organization, teamwork, alertness, and awareness on watch are encouraged. This is the theme of the training that is taking place at SCI's Centers for Maritime Education. After being alerted to the factors surrounding competent error, pilots use the si mulator to examine their procedures and methods. Then, they analyze the sess ions for themselves in order to extract lessons that might be pertinent to their situation. / Under this overall philosophy they also review procedures, regulations, routines and management tools•• _ . ..

Instead, simulator time becomes a strategy for regular, on-going training that promotes attitudes encouraged in the industry.

Crew fatalities since 1996 peaked a year later at 29 and dropped to 11 in 2000, the latest year for which the U.S. Coast Guard has data.

The Seamen's Church Institute, training inland mariners since 1997 and deep-sea mariners for over 100 years, can also share a few examples. Accident prevention or the reduction in the number and/or severity of accidents can be correlated to a sustained training regimen.
