  • This Is a Daily Compilation of Media Articles Concerning the Covid-19 Impact on the International Cruise Industry
    1 THIS IS A DAILY COMPILATION OF MEDIA ARTICLES CONCERNING THE COVID-19 IMPACT ON THE INTERNATIONAL CRUISE INDUSTRY. Please note this isn’t a complete listing of media articles but a snapshot only. 16 March, 2020: TOP-LEVEL TALKS TO GET HUNDREDS OF BRITISH HOLIDAYMAKERS’ HOME FROM CORONAVIRUS-HIT CRUISE More than 650 holidaymakers from the UK are stuck on Fred Olsen Lines ship Braemar that is anchored in the Bahamas with guests and crew isolated. The Foreign Office is holding “high level discussions” to get more than 650 Britons home from a Covid-19-stricken cruise ship. The Braemar cruise ship took on more medical staff and stocked up on supplies on Sunday night after anchoring in the Bahamas. The vessel, containing 667 Britons, was forced to isolate 20 guests and 20 crew who showed influenza-like symptoms. They included five people who tested positive for Covid-19 at the boat’s last port of call on the island of Curacao, on March 10. On Monday, Fred Olsen Cruise Lines, which runs the Braemar, said two doctors and two nurses were drafted in to assist the on-board medical team.

Liberty got off to a 37-second lead when (the Australian challenger) Australia II jumped the gun and had to recross the starting line. The Australian skipper tried to catch up by sailing way over to the left of the course in the hopes of catching a wind shift. Liberty’s skipper chose to keep to the right- hand side of the course. Summary excerpt taken from Thinking Strategically: The Competitive Edge in Business, Politics, and Everyday Life by Avinash K. Dixit and Barry J. Nalebuff (1991) Australia II’s gamble paid off as the wind shifted 5° in her favor and she won the race by one minute and 47 seconds. She went on to win the next two races and won the cup.

  • Merchant Marine Deck Officer Agency Through Performative Acts
    Merchant Marine Deck Officer Agency through Performative Acts An Oppositional View to Deskilling Theory By: Donald Frederick Clark Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Science & Technology Studies Approved: Sonja D. Schmid Co-Chair Shannon A. Brown Co-Chair Barbara L. Allen Janet E. Abbate August 04, 2016 Falls Church, Virginia Keywords: Actor-network Theory, Tacit Knowledge, Commedia Del’Arte, Deskilling, ECDIS, Experiential Technical Knowledge, Marine Navigation, Merchant M Deck Officer, Mimeomorphic, Performative Act, Performativity, Polimorphic, Situated Action, Skill Merchant Marine Deck Officer Agency Through Performative Acts – An Oppositional View to Deskilling Theory Donald Frederick Clark ABSTRACT I bring together ethnographic interviews with deck officers, studies in actor-network theory, explicit and tacit knowledge theory, and performativity theory in this work. I prove that bridge technologies produce what are called mimeomorphic (repeatable with some variation) actions that contain no deck officer collective tacit knowledge. I argue that deck officer bridge watch situated actions are mostly polimorphic (actions can vary depending on social context), and these actions are in fact performatives (in an Austin sense) derived from a more oral than literate performance production process. These performatives constantly build the mariner’s identity within the maritime deck officer community and their successful performatives give deck officers agency in the form of an oppositional view to deskilling. These same performative acts are the value of the mariner’s experiential technological knowledge within the ship’s bridge technology framework Dedication My children – for making me cry… and laugh! Mom – taught me social tolerance.
