AMO-contracted vessels, companies recognized for environmental excellence
"These awards celebrate the dedication to environmental excellence of our seafarers and the company personnel shore-side who operate our vessels to the highest standards. In today's world, it seems our industry only gets front-page news when spills or other environmental problems occur. It is encouraging to see how many vessels go for years achieving environmental excellence. It should be clear to the American public that we in the maritime industry take our stewardship of the marine environment very seriously," said CSA President Kathy Metcalf.
U.S. Coast Guard Deputy Commander, Atlantic Area, Rear Adm. Joseph Servidio participated in the award ceremony and congratulated the award recipients and the industry as a whole for their extraordinary performance.
The awards were presented during a ceremony held November 2 in Washington, D.C. CSA awarded Certificates of Environmental Achievement to a total of 1,760 vessels, both domestic and foreign, that achieved a total of 14,308 years of operation without incident.
AMO-contracted companies operating vessels recognized for environmental excellence included Crescent Towing; Crowley Liner Services; General Dynamics American Overseas Marine; Intrepid Personnel and Provisioning (Crowley); Keystone Shipping Company (Key Lakes); Ocean Duchess, Inc.; Ocean Ships, Inc.; OSG Ship Management, Inc.; Pacific-Gulf Marine; Seabulk Tankers, Inc.; Seabulk Towing, Inc.; TOTE Services, Inc.; and U.S. Shipping Corporation.
