Please remember, effective December 2008, ships in the
southeastern Atlantic and mid-Atlantic waters must comply with a
10 knot speed restriction in designated waters to protect
endangered right whales. The new NOAA regulations (National
Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration) stem from efforts to assist
the recovery of right whale populations. Compliance with the new
regs are required by ships over 65 feet in length. NOAA says that
North Atlantic right whales are the most endangered whales in the
world. Click NOAA to learn more about the regs.

Someone would have to be
living in a cave in the Ozark
Mountains without electricity
to not be concerned about
the dismal condition of the
nation’s economy. We try to
remain hopeful that the
government’s stimulus
packages will translate into
new jobs. Interestingly,
according to an article in the
Chicago Tribune, the
shipping industry is running
short of mariners despite the
rise in unemployment rates
nationwide. The article
addresses some of the
issues that face mariners
today, such as tougher
licensing and training
requirements, as well as the
difficulty of working in a job
that takes you away from your
family for extended periods of
time. Click here to read the
Chicago Tribune article.
