  • Of the New Jersey Maritime Pi- Lot and Docking Pilot Commission
    156th Annual Report Of The New Jersey Maritime Pi- lot and Docking Pilot Commission Dear Governor and Members of the New Jersey Legislature, In 1789, the First Congress of the United States delegated to the states the authority to regulate pilotage of vessels operating on their respective navigable waters. In 1837, New Jersey enacted legislation establishing the Board of Commissioners of Pilotage of the State of New Jersey. Since its creation the Commission has had the responsibility of licensing and regulating maritime pilots who direct the navigation of ships as they enter and depart the Port of New Jersey and New York. This oversight has contributed to the excellent reputation the ports of New Jersey and New York has and its pilots enjoy throughout the maritime world. New legislation that went into effect on September 1, 2004 enables the Commission to further contribute to the safety and security of the port by requiring the Commission to license docking pilots. These pilots specialize in the docking and undocking of vessels in the port. To reflect the expansion of its jurisdiction the Commission has been renamed “The New Jersey Maritime Pilot and Docking Pilot Commission.” In keeping with the needs of the times, the new legislation has a strong security component. All pilots licensed by the state will go through an on going security vetting. The Commission will issue badges and photo ID cards to all qualified pilots, which they must display when entering port facilities and boarding vessels. The legislation has also modernized and clarified the Commissions’ authority to issue regulations with respect to qualifications and training required for pilot licenses, pilot training (both initial and recurrent) accident investigation and drug and alcohol testing.

  • Maritime Pilot and Docking Pilot Commission
    The New Jersey Maritime Pilot and Docking Pilot Commission "The sea is the same as it has been since before men ever went on it in boats, it’s the boats that have changed." - Ernest Hemingway 2011 Annual Report 163rd Edition Dear Governor and Members of the New Jersey Legislature, With a new year came new challenges for the New Jersey Maritime Pilot and Docking Pilot Commission. Dredg- ing of the main channels has created situations in which aids to navigation have been relocated, channels are nar- rower and the pilots jobs have become more difficult. The Commission made amendments to its existing regula- tions to ensure that state licensed pilots have the proper training and expertise to concur these challenges. Pilots are now required to complete a requisite number of trips on the routes for which they are licensed to ensure they remain conversant with the constant changes of the channels. We are scheduled to begin a new slate of interviews for the Maritime Pilot Apprentice Training Program. This process requires the designated Commissioner to devote a minimum of ten, eight-hour days to the evaluation and interviewing process used to select qualified candidates. Our Occurrence Investigation Committee investigated a total of twenty-eight incidents this year. Major accidents require over 150 hours of a Commissioners time to gather information, review track, review and transcribe VDRs and prepare reports for the Commission to review. The movement of buoys, the dredging of the channels and unaccommodating weather conditions has resulted in three such incidents in 2011. The first female Full Branch Maritime Pilot was sworn in at the Commissions February 15, 2011 meeting.

  • Chapter: 2. En Route Operations
    Chapter 2 En Route Operations Introduction The en route phase of flight is defined as that segment of flight from the termination point of a departure procedure to the origination point of an arrival procedure. The procedures employed in the en route phase of flight are governed by a set of specific flight standards established by 14 CFR [Figure 2-1], FAA Order 8260.3, and related publications. These standards establish courses to be flown, obstacle clearance criteria, minimum altitudes, navigation performance, and communications requirements. 2-1 fly along the centerline when on a Federal airway or, on routes other than Federal airways, along the direct course between NAVAIDs or fixes defining the route. The regulation allows maneuvering to pass well clear of other air traffic or, if in visual meteorogical conditions (VMC), to clear the flightpath both before and during climb or descent. Airways Airway routing occurs along pre-defined pathways called airways. [Figure 2-2] Airways can be thought of as three- dimensional highways for aircraft. In most land areas of the world, aircraft are required to fly airways between the departure and destination airports. The rules governing airway routing, Standard Instrument Departures (SID) and Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR), are published flight procedures that cover altitude, airspeed, and requirements for entering and leaving the airway. Most airways are eight nautical miles (14 kilometers) wide, and the airway Figure 2-1.

It has been our privilege to design commercial vessels for the toughest jobs in the marine industry. The rigor- PERFORMANCE IN THE ous conditions that our commercial vessels operate in have been crucial to the development of our hull technology. We have been asked to developed the TOUGHEST most dependable and seaworthy vessels in the world decade after decade. The result, an unmatched CONDITIONS pedigree of commercial vessels for fair and raugh seas. Our long standing relationships with ship builders have allowed us to learn the most efficient and practical way to provide the modern commercial mariner with everything he needs to do the job and get home safely. “What Ray Hunt Design offers to a customer is our experience. The confidence to know that the boat you’ve asked us to design is going to work the first time, right out of the box.” Winn Willard, President A HISTORY OF PERFORMANCE Pilot service has changed over the past 20 years, with deeper draft ships requiring longer runs from shore-side pilot stations. Faster ships and lessened turnaround time require higher boarding speeds, sometimes 10 knots or more. The Hunt deep-V hull is not only a proven rough weather performer, but also performs well when boarding, remaining stable when in con- tact with a ship, with no tendency to become stuck alongside. Over the years, the sophistication of interior accommoda- tions has also changed. Pilots now sit in state-of-the-art Stidd seats, fully adjustable for comfort and support.

  • Feminism and Magic in Snow White
    Dittmeier 1 Feminism and Magic in Snow White Magic is something that has always been very prevalent in fairy tales. Many fairy tales include young women—complacent, innocent, and invariably beautiful young women—who are either terrorized by an evil witch, helped out of a bad circumstance by a fairy godmother, or both. They are expected to handle their misfortune gracefully and show kindness even to their enemies, which they are often rewarded for, and generally this reward is marriage. However, some of these fairy tales can be seen through a more feminist lens. Magical fairy tale women do not have to just be either evil or the bumbling fairy godmother who helps the heroine get her marriage reward. Snow White, for example, has more control over her story than may be apparent. There is a hidden feminist ideology in Snow White that we can see through Snow White’s use of magic. Witches—women who can use magic—are, in modern times, a feminist symbol. The witch is a woman who has her own power, and in the case of some stories, Macbeth, for example, they have power to drive the plot (Guadagnino, 2018). The witch can be a positive symbol for a woman who has her own agency. If we look closely, we can see clues that indicate that Snow White is not only a witch, but that she is using her own power to drive her story along. Magic is evident from the very beginning of Snow White. Snow White’s mother is sewing by the open window, and she pricks her finger.
