"One Hand" Introduction President’s Welcome As the 10th President of the State of New York Maritime College, it is my privilege to welcome you to our nation’s First and Foremost such institution. Steeped in more than 125 years of tradition and a proud history that runs deep and strong, the Maritime College remains a premier institution and a global leader in the field of maritime education and training. We intend to maintain such leadership through a continuing process of strategic improvement of our programs and facilities as well as key engagements and focused outreach to leading industries and academic institutions across a variety of fronts, both nationally and internationally. I can state without reservation that few colleges offer you the combination of such a highly respected academic degree with a strong, hands-on practical component (including Summer Sea Terms onboard our training ship Empire State VI), the opportunity to obtain a Merchant Marine officer’s license, a commission in the armed services if you choose, and the unsurpassed leadership opportunities availavle in the Regiment of Cadets. Indeed few such opportunities in life allow you to grow so rapidly and develop both leadership and technical competencies, which are in high demand in today’s globally integrated and complex environment.

  • The Seaman's Friend VOL.II
    The Seaman's Friend VOL.II By Richard Henry Dana The Seaman's Friend CHAPTER I. THE MASTER. Beginning of the voyage. Shipping the crew. Outfit. Provisions. Watches. Navigation. Log-book. Observations. Working ship. Day's work. Discipline. In the third part of this work, it will be seen that the shipmaster is a person to whom, both by the general marine law of all commercial nations and by the special statutes of the United States, great powers are confided, and upon whom heavy responsibilities rest. The shipmaster will find there what are his legal rights, duties and remedies as to owner, ship and crew, and the various requirements as to the papers with which he is to furnish his ship, and the observances of revenue and other regulations. It is proposed to give here, rather more, perhaps, for the information of others than of the master himself, the ordinary and every-day duties of his office, and the customs which long usage has made almost as binding as laws. There is a great difference in different ports, and among the various owners, as to the part the master is to take in supplying and manning the vessel. In many cases, the owner puts on board all the stores for the ship's use and for the crew, and gives the master particular directions, sometimes in writing, as to the manner in which he is to dispense them. These directions are more or less liberal, according to the character of the owner; and, in some cases, the dispensing of the stores is left to the master's discretion.

  • Three Jones Act Ships Launched
    MAY 2017 VOLUME 79 NO. 5 Three Jones Act Ships Launched As March wound down, three new SIU-contracted vessels were in the news following launch ceremonies at various shipyards across the country. Those ships, which will sail in the Jones Act trade, are the Palmetto State (photo at right), the El Coqui (second photo below) and the American Freedom (immediately below). Featured in the group photo at the bottom of the page are American Freedom crew members (stand- ing, from left) OMU Harlan Ouellette, SA Abdulla Quraish, Chief Cook David Dingman, AB Dennis Saggese, Pumpman Felix Garcia, Chief Steward Stephen Avallone, AB Brandon Albro, Bosun Joshua Mensah, AB Arsenio Malunes, (kneeling, from left) AB Julius Thomas, Oiler Benjamin Stan- ley and AB John McEl- haney.

As re- ported there and elsewhere in this edition, three new SIU-contracted vessels recently were launched at shipyards on all three sea coasts. There’s no way companies would make those kinds of invest- ments in domestic American-flag shipping without the Jones Act – a law that has served our nation extremely well for nearly a century. Old salts probably know the essentials of America’s freight cabotage law, but for any newcomers, the Jones Act requires that cargo moving between domestic ports is carried aboard ships that are crewed, built, flagged and owned American.
