Wednesday, December 5th Free Spotlight Presentation: Cybersecurity in Maritime: The
Roadmap to Secure Control Systems in the Transportation Sector
10:30 am - 11:00 am, Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
The Volpe National Transportation Systems Center is assisting
the Department of Homeland Security, National Cyber Security
Division to coordinate activities within the transportation sector.
Each of these transportation modes have key common threads
with vehicle and infrastructure control systems operating
at various stages of the system development life cycle and
share common system characteristics as well as varying
degrees of vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies.Within the
maritime mode, we will review key operating systems such
as Terminal Automation and Shipping Container Terminal
Management Systems. Other operational support systems
include Communications, E-mail, Web-based Cargo Tracking,
Vehicle and Personnel Gates and Vessel Automation Systems
(Radar, Automatic Identification System, Electronic Charts,
Global Positioning Systems), and Hazardous Cargo Management
Systems. These control systems have vulnerability and
mitigation issues that impact Systems Development Life Cycle,
Change Management and operational movement of commodities
within the supply chain. One of the newest tools in cybersecurity, “The Roadmap to
Secure Control Systems in the Transportation Sector” will be
discussed as a framework to identify and mitigate cybersecurity
risk in maritime.Presenters: Robert Hoaglund, CPP, Security Systems Manager, Volpe

Decisions Impacting Marine Construction
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm, Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
The US Federal Government is the largest purchaser of goods
and services, which includes marine vessels purchased by
the US Navy, US Coast Guard and NOAA. This seminar topic
will provide an update on federal procurement regulations
and decisions impacting contractors, subcontractors, material
suppliers and vendors in the marine construction industry.
Specific topics will include updates on the following issues:
The false claim act and recent developments regarding the
same; New Interim Rule on “Contractor’s Business Systems;
Organizational Conflicts of Interest – “Unequal Access”; The
Contract Disputes Act; and Bid protest decisions. The seminar
presentation will also include recent decisions covering the
preparation of claims and requests for equitable adjustments
(REA) to the executive agencies. Specifically, decisions from
the GAO, Civilian Board of Contract Appeals and Court of Federal
Claims regarding pricing and proving disruption, inefficiency,
delay, and extended program claims will be covered.
Presenter: Chad Theriot, Partner, Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP Uninspected Towing Vessel Bridging
Program Update from USCG1:00 pm - 2:00 pm , Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
Pursuant to the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation
Act of 2004, Pub. L. 108-293 of August 9, 2004, a significant
regulatory project is underway that would subject the majority
of commercial towing vessels to Inspection. Regulations
developed for these vessels will be published in 46 CFR
Subchapter M. The Coast Guard (CG-CVC) has initiated
the Towing Vessel Bridging Program (TVBP) to ease the
transition from an un-inspected to an inspected vessel safety
regime by ensuring that both the Coast Guard and the towing
vessel industry are informed and prepared to meet the new
requirements to be finalized in Subchapter M. In the period
between the current and future state of towing vessel safety
oversight, a Towing Vessel Bridging Program (TVBP) has been
initiated to ease the transition and ensure that both the Coast
Guard and the towing vessel industry are informed and prepared
to meet the new requirements to be finalized in Subchapter
M. This goal will be accomplished by enhancing, improving,
and increasing Coast Guard interactions with the towing vessel
industry, and by acclimating all involved with the procedures,
policy, requirements and administration of existing and, as
implementation draws closer, new Subchapter M regulations.
To further these ends, during this period of transition the Coast
Guard will conduct extensive industry outreach, properly train
our people, and will examine every uninspected towing vessel
(UTV) that will be inspected under Subchapter M.

Saving Money by Controlling Vibration in a Marine
Drive System 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm, Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
All physical systems have a natural frequency at which they
vibrate. If varying external forces are applied to the system at
a frequency that coincides with natural frequency, then rapid
amplification of the vibration, known as resonance, will occur.
Resonance can be very destructive as was seen in the famous
case of the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940,
when the frequency of the wind gusts coincided with the natural
frequency of the bridge, causing the dramatic destruction of the
bridge. It is a less dramatic form of this phenomenon that can
cause the failure of a crankshaft or gearbox on a vessel, in this
case the excessive load cycles caused by resonance will result
in early failure of these components through fatigue. Failures
that cost the marine industry millions of dollars every year. This
presentation will go into the detail of identifying these issues
before these problems occur, and how to control the natural
frequency using the most economic methods possible.
Presenter: Joe Summers, Hi Tec Coupling Product Manager, Renold PLCChoosing a Compliance Option for Towing Vessel
Regulations: What You Need to Know4:00 pm - 5:30 pm, Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
Towing Safety Management System (TSMS) requirements are
close aboard. The USCG has proposed the following vessel
inspection options for “Sub-Chapter M” operators: annual USCG
inspection boarding, annual TSMS 3rd Party Survey, or TSMS
Audit Program (3rd Party survey approximately every 30 months).
The USCG Towing Safety Advisory Committee (TSAC), following
the lead of many AWO members, has supported both TSMS
options as being scalable and affordable. Many industry experts
predict the TSMS options will become the preferred choice
of Sub-M operators because of the demonstrated flexibility,
cost efficiency, and expertise offered by 3rd Party Recognized
Organizations (R.O.). In fact, there was virtually no support
for the Coast Guard Inspection Boarding Option in either Sub-
Chapter M Public Meetings or the NPRM Public Comment Period
of last year! How much will TSMS Implementation cost a Sub-M
Operator? How much will USCG User Fees cost the Sub-M
operator? What are the advantages of the USCG Inspection
Boarding Option? What 3rd Party R.O can do the TSMS audits
and surveys? How is “objective evidence” defined and how
does it apply to Sub-M? What is the difference between a
survey and an audit? Does the industry have enough surveyors
and auditors to get the job done ? Does USCG have enough
inspectors to get the job done? If these compliance options
remain in the final rule, both the USCG and industry operators
will be faced with challenging economic choices. Listen as
representatives from the USCG, ABS, GL and service providers
discuss the pros and cons of the three options and offer insights
into how to best move forward.

Through National Standardized Curricula and Portable
Skills Certificates11:00 am - 12:00 pm ...Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
The maritime industry faces significant challenges in
finding and developing a skilled workforce. Few workforce
development programs or initiatives are focused on the
shipbuilding industry. Further, we face a significant issue with
an aging workforce and the need to attract and train significant
numbers to the industry in the near future. The National
Maritime Education Counsel is an industry-led cooperative
endeavor to develop standardized maritime curriculum and to
attract new personnel to the industry.Presenters: John Lotshaw, Director, Workforce Training and Development,
Ingalls Shipbuilding Mike Torrech, President, American Maritime Holdings Entering A New Marine Era for Gas11:00 am - 12:00 pm Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
The paradigm shift to natural gas fuel for offshore
supply OSV and platform PSV vessels represents a new
workboat era. This paper examines the five No. Am trends
driving a change toward LNG as the preferred marine fuel
with focus on the GOM . Discussion beings with how two
shale gas phenomena of availability plus affordability combine
with three US EPA mandates to create a compelling case for
adoption of natural gas as a fuel. With this strong fundamental
basis, the paper next introduces coverage of the first US flag
offshore support vessels under construction for the US Gulf
of Mexico (GOM) that are launching this new LNG era . The
paper describes why these LNG offshore support vessels
represent a true win-win, operational savings and emissions
reduction while employing state of the art technology adopted
from Northern European experiences. The paper concludes
with a brief forecast of what’s ahead for the future in this new
technology enabled LNG fuel marine market space.
Presenter: John Hatley PE, Americas VP Ship Power, Wartsila Surface Connector (X) Program, Recapitalization of
the US Navy Landing Craft Utility (LCU) 1600 Class
12:15 pm - 1:00 pm Keynote Stage, Hall B, Booth 150
Landing Craft, Utility (LCU) provide the Navy’s amphibious ships
with an organic capability to move heavier equipment and forces
than aircraft or air-cushioned vessels between ship and shore
in a reliable, fuel efficient manner. Although designed for a 25
year service life, the existing LCU have been operational for an
average of 40 years. As they reach the end of their extended
operational service life, shortfalls will exist in amphibious
ship-to-shore lift that exacerbate the challenges of supporting
delivery of troops, cargo and equipment on unimproved beaches
or shallow ports to support a variety of missions.
The Navy is planning to replace the LCU: This future surface
connector (originally called LCU (Recapitalization)) program
is intended to replace the capability provided by the LCU 1600
Class as designed. This presentation will articulate the need,
describe the capability to be replaced, and present the current
status of the future surface connector acquisition program.

Integrating the Work Boat Community into the National
Response Framework. 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm, Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
The National Response Framework was promulgated recently
this past Fall. The work boat community is a unique asset that
has yet to be properly recognized and integrated into pre- and
post-disaster formal planning. Can the industry define roles
and then earn federal recognition by developing its own
disaster planning policies and procedures? This is about the
industry response to incidents that do not necessarily directly
affect them but rather their role in supporting others who have
been affected. This session features a round table discussion
to explore the views and ideas from academic institutions,
operators, builders, the emergency management community,
and the federal regulatory agencies.Presenter:

Human Errors in Risk Perception 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm, Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
Imagine you’re going on vacation somewhere hot and
exotic. Half your time will be spent in the sea. Apart from
drowning, would you be most concerned about sharks or
coconuts? Most people vote sharks. But deaths from falling
coconuts are about 10 times more common than deaths from
shark attacks. This erroneous risk perception is probably driven
in part by a primeval fear of being eaten alive by another animal.
On the other hand, it’s a good example of the “availability
heuristic,” a subjective risk assessment based on the availability
of information. When was the last time the news covered a
death by coconut? More immediate and urgent are the
consequences of human errors in risk perception at work. It is
estimated that the majority of workplace injuries are caused by
human error in risk perception. In this session you will learn how
to recognize and reduce human errors in risk perception. You will
also learn how to train your employees to internalize real risk
before injury occurs. Presenter:
Corinne Gediman, Managing Principal, Proactive Safety PerformanceWhat Does the Future of the Marine Fuel Industry Hold?
2:30 pm - 3:30 pm, Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
Over the last few years, there has been considerable
debate regarding what the future holds for various fuels used
in marine vessels. The discussions have revolved around the
cost, variety, availability, environmental impact, and equipment
investment for the consumption of various fuels. This session will
look at the international market and see how various legislative
and distribution changes will impact the domestic market.

The Benefits of Aluminum & the Associated Welding
Challenges in Boat/Shipbuilding Applications
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm, Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
Aluminum is increasingly specified in marine applications
because it is lighter weight without sacrificing strength and
functionality. This helps ships be faster, more fuel efficient,
and provides excellent corrosive properties. It does, however,
present difficulties: distortion, cleanliness, aesthetics, burn
through and difficult wire feeding, to name a few. MIG and
Pulsed MIG welding processes and technologies have
advanced to help address these challenges. This presentation
will describe how these processes now allow welders to
reduce distortion, improve weld quality, increase productivity
and simplify ease-of-use. Presenter: Brian Farkas, National Account Manager, Maxal InternationalMarine After-Treatment Options to Meet EPA Tier 4
& IMO Tier 3 Regulations 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
EPA Tier 4 and Global IMO regulation introduces unprecedented
challenge to the marine industry. What is the best solution? It
depends. There are many variables that need to be considered;
from balancing engine, fuel and after-treatment technology,
thru thermal management, packaging and infrastructural
dilemma. Tenneco, a global leader in emissions control, will
highlight after-treatment technology options, but will also speak
to emission control strategy. We will discuss the importance of
early involvement, and the critical roles of system integration
and performance engineering in optimizing technology across
ALL variables, with the ultimate goal of delivering the best
solution based on the unique characteristics of the application.

Friday, December 7th Hybrid Propulsion Systems11:00 am - 12:00 pm, Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
For the past 3 years, Nigel Calder has been the Technical
Coordinator for a major European research project (the HYMAR

Culture of Compliance 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm, Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
There are so many regulations and performance based plans
these days that companies find it difficult to remain in full
compliance with the letter and intent of them all. Unfortunately,
many find out just how comprehensive the regulations
are during hearings, investigations and litigation following
accidents. Compliance is an achievable and worthy goal. In
fact, regulations are so comprehensive these days that true full
compliance with the letter and intent of them all can provide a
pathway to operational excellence.Compliance is essential to the profitability of the maritime
industry. But having a successful compliance program in
today’s highly regulated world is no easy task. Performance
based plans and procedures must reflect reality and be fully
implemented, or they can lead to significant fines and be used
as “checklists for negligence” against the company during
litigation. At this presentation attendees will learn how to
develop compliance management systems and implement
plans and procedures which represent the optimum level of
compliance for their company and help to avoid costly fines and
criminal prosecutions. Presenter: Kevin Gilheany, Owner, Maritime Compliance International, LLC

10:30 am - 11:00 am, Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
The Volpe National Transportation Systems Center is assisting
the Department of Homeland Security, National Cyber Security
Division to coordinate activities within the transportation sector.
Each of these transportation modes have key common threads
with vehicle and infrastructure control systems operating
at various stages of the system development life cycle and
share common system characteristics as well as varying
degrees of vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies.Within the
maritime mode, we will review key operating systems such
as Terminal Automation and Shipping Container Terminal
Management Systems. Other operational support systems
include Communications, E-mail, Web-based Cargo Tracking,
Vehicle and Personnel Gates and Vessel Automation Systems
(Radar, Automatic Identification System, Electronic Charts,
Global Positioning Systems), and Hazardous Cargo Management
Systems. These control systems have vulnerability and
mitigation issues that impact Systems Development Life Cycle,
Change Management and operational movement of commodities
within the supply chain.
One of the newest tools in cybersecurity, “The Roadmap to
Secure Control Systems in the Transportation Sector” will be
discussed as a framework to identify and mitigate cybersecurity
risk in maritime.

Uninspected Towing Vessel Bridging
Program Update from USCG
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm , Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
Pursuant to the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation
Act of 2004, Pub. L. 108-293 of August 9, 2004, a significant
regulatory project is underway that would subject the majority
of commercial towing vessels to Inspection. Regulations
developed for these vessels will be published in 46 CFR
Subchapter M. The Coast Guard (CG-CVC) has initiated
the Towing Vessel Bridging Program (TVBP) to ease the
transition from an un-inspected to an inspected vessel safety
regime by ensuring that both the Coast Guard and the towing
vessel industry are informed and prepared to meet the new
requirements to be finalized in Subchapter M. In the period
between the current and future state of towing vessel safety
oversight, a Towing Vessel Bridging Program (TVBP) has been
initiated to ease the transition and ensure that both the Coast
Guard and the towing vessel industry are informed and prepared
to meet the new requirements to be finalized in Subchapter
M. This goal will be accomplished by enhancing, improving,
and increasing Coast Guard interactions with the towing vessel
industry, and by acclimating all involved with the procedures,
policy, requirements and administration of existing and, as
implementation draws closer, new Subchapter M regulations.
To further these ends, during this period of transition the Coast
Guard will conduct extensive industry outreach, properly train
our people, and will examine every uninspected towing vessel
(UTV) that will be inspected under Subchapter M.

Saving Money by Controlling Vibration in a Marine
Drive System4:00 pm - 5:00 pm, Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
All physical systems have a natural frequency at which they
vibrate. If varying external forces are applied to the system at
a frequency that coincides with natural frequency, then rapid
amplification of the vibration, known as resonance, will occur.
Resonance can be very destructive as was seen in the famous
case of the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940,
when the frequency of the wind gusts coincided with the natural
frequency of the bridge, causing the dramatic destruction of the
bridge. It is a less dramatic form of this phenomenon that can
cause the failure of a crankshaft or gearbox on a vessel, in this
case the excessive load cycles caused by resonance will result
in early failure of these components through fatigue. Failures
that cost the marine industry millions of dollars every year. This
presentation will go into the detail of identifying these issues
before these problems occur, and how to control the natural
frequency using the most economic methods possible.
Presenter: Joe Summers, Hi Tec Coupling Product Manager, Renold PLC
Choosing a Compliance Option for Towing Vessel
Regulations: What You Need to Know
4:00 pm - 5:30 pm, Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
Towing Safety Management System (TSMS) requirements are
close aboard. The USCG has proposed the following vessel
inspection options for “Sub-Chapter M” operators: annual USCG
inspection boarding, annual TSMS 3rd Party Survey, or TSMS
Audit Program (3rd Party survey approximately every 30 months).
The USCG Towing Safety Advisory Committee (TSAC), following
the lead of many AWO members, has supported both TSMS
options as being scalable and affordable. Many industry experts
predict the TSMS options will become the preferred choice
of Sub-M operators because of the demonstrated flexibility,
cost efficiency, and expertise offered by 3rd Party Recognized
Organizations (R.O.). In fact, there was virtually no support
for the Coast Guard Inspection Boarding Option in either Sub-
Chapter M Public Meetings or the NPRM Public Comment Period
of last year! How much will TSMS Implementation cost a Sub-M
Operator? How much will USCG User Fees cost the Sub-M
operator? What are the advantages of the USCG Inspection
Boarding Option? What 3rd Party R.O can do the TSMS audits
and surveys? How is “objective evidence” defined and how
does it apply to Sub-M? What is the difference between a
survey and an audit? Does the industry have enough surveyors
and auditors to get the job done ? Does USCG have enough
inspectors to get the job done? If these compliance options
remain in the final rule, both the USCG and industry operators
will be faced with challenging economic choices. Listen as
representatives from the USCG, ABS, GL and service providers
discuss the pros and cons of the three options and offer insights
into how to best move forward.

11:00 am - 12:00 pm ... Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
The maritime industry faces significant challenges in
finding and developing a skilled workforce. Few workforce
development programs or initiatives are focused on the
shipbuilding industry. Further, we face a significant issue with
an aging workforce and the need to attract and train significant
numbers to the industry in the near future. The National

Entering A New Marine Era for Gas
11:00 am - 12:00 pm Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
The paradigm shift to natural gas fuel for offshore
supply OSV and platform PSV vessels represents a new
workboat era. This paper examines the five No. Am trends
driving a change toward LNG as the preferred marine fuel
with focus on the GOM . Discussion beings with how two
shale gas phenomena of availability plus affordability combine
with three US EPA mandates to create a compelling case for
adoption of natural gas as a fuel. With this strong fundamental
basis, the paper next introduces coverage of the first US flag
offshore support vessels under construction for the US Gulf
of Mexico (GOM) that are launching this new LNG era . The
paper describes why these LNG offshore support vessels
represent a true win-win, operational savings and emissions
reduction while employing state of the art technology adopted
from Northern European experiences. The paper concludes
with a brief forecast of what’s ahead for the future in this new
technology enabled LNG fuel marine market space.

Surface Connector (X) Program, Recapitalization of
the US Navy Landing Craft Utility (LCU) 1600 Class
12:15 pm - 1:00 pm Keynote Stage, Hall B, Booth 150
Landing Craft, Utility (LCU) provide the Navy’s amphibious ships
with an organic capability to move heavier equipment and forces
than aircraft or air-cushioned vessels between ship and shore
in a reliable, fuel efficient manner. Although designed for a 25
year service life, the existing LCU have been operational for an
average of 40 years. As they reach the end of their extended
operational service life, shortfalls will exist in amphibious
ship-to-shore lift that exacerbate the challenges of supporting
delivery of troops, cargo and equipment on unimproved beaches
or shallow ports to support a variety of missions.
The Navy is planning to replace the LCU: This future surface
connector (originally called LCU (Recapitalization)) program
is intended to replace the capability provided by the LCU 1600
Class as designed. This presentation will articulate the need,
describe the capability to be replaced, and present the current
status of the future surface connector acquisition program.

Integrating the Work Boat Community into the National
Response Framework.
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm, Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
The National Response Framework was promulgated recently
this past Fall. The work boat community is a unique asset that
has yet to be properly recognized and integrated into pre- and
post-disaster formal planning. Can the industry define roles
and then earn federal recognition by developing its own
disaster planning policies and procedures? This is about the
industry response to incidents that do not necessarily directly
affect them but rather their role in supporting others who have
been affected. This session features a round table discussion
to explore the views and ideas from academic institutions,
operators, builders, the emergency management community,
and the federal regulatory agencies.

Human Errors in Risk Perception
2:30 pm - 3:30 pm, Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
Imagine you’re going on vacation somewhere hot and
exotic. Half your time will be spent in the sea. Apart from
drowning, would you be most concerned about sharks or
coconuts? Most people vote sharks. But deaths from falling
coconuts are about 10 times more common than deaths from
shark attacks. This erroneous risk perception is probably driven
in part by a primeval fear of being eaten alive by another animal.
On the other hand, it’s a good example of the “availability
heuristic,” a subjective risk assessment based on the availability
of information. When was the last time the news covered a
death by coconut? More immediate and urgent are the
consequences of human errors in risk perception at work. It is
estimated that the majority of workplace injuries are caused by
human error in risk perception. In this session you will learn how
to recognize and reduce human errors in risk perception. You will
also learn how to train your employees to internalize real risk
before injury occurs.

Corinne Gediman, Managing Principal, Proactive Safety Performance
What Does the Future of the Marine Fuel Industry Hold?
2:30 pm - 3:30 pm, Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
Over the last few years, there has been considerable
debate regarding what the future holds for various fuels used
in marine vessels. The discussions have revolved around the
cost, variety, availability, environmental impact, and equipment
investment for the consumption of various fuels. This session will
look at the international market and see how various legislative
and distribution changes will impact the domestic market.

The Benefits of Aluminum & the Associated Welding
Challenges in Boat/Shipbuilding Applications
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm, Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
Aluminum is increasingly specified in marine applications
because it is lighter weight without sacrificing strength and
functionality. This helps ships be faster, more fuel efficient,
and provides excellent corrosive properties. It does, however,
present difficulties: distortion, cleanliness, aesthetics, burn
through and difficult wire feeding, to name a few. MIG and
Pulsed MIG welding processes and technologies have
advanced to help address these challenges. This presentation
will describe how these processes now allow welders to
reduce distortion, improve weld quality, increase productivity
and simplify ease-of-use.
Presenter: Brian Farkas, National Account Manager, Maxal International
Marine After-Treatment Options to Meet EPA Tier 4
& IMO Tier 3 Regulations
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
EPA Tier 4 and Global IMO regulation introduces unprecedented
challenge to the marine industry. What is the best solution? It
depends. There are many variables that need to be considered;
from balancing engine, fuel and after-treatment technology,
thru thermal management, packaging and infrastructural
dilemma. Tenneco, a global leader in emissions control, will
highlight after-treatment technology options, but will also speak
to emission control strategy. We will discuss the importance of
early involvement, and the critical roles of system integration
and performance engineering in optimizing technology across
ALL variables, with the ultimate goal of delivering the best
solution based on the unique characteristics of the application.

Wednesday, December 5th Free Spotlight Presentation: Cybersecurity in Maritime: The
Roadmap to Secure Control Systems in the Transportation Sector
10:30 am - 11:00 am, Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
The Volpe National Transportation Systems Center is assisting
the Department of Homeland Security, National Cyber Security
Division to coordinate activities within the transportation sector.
Each of these transportation modes have key common threads
with vehicle and infrastructure control systems operating
at various stages of the system development life cycle and
share common system characteristics as well as varying
degrees of vulnerabilities and mitigation strategies.Within the
maritime mode, we will review key operating systems such
as Terminal Automation and Shipping Container Terminal
Management Systems. Other operational support systems
include Communications, E-mail, Web-based Cargo Tracking,
Vehicle and Personnel Gates and Vessel Automation Systems
(Radar, Automatic Identification System, Electronic Charts,
Global Positioning Systems), and Hazardous Cargo Management
Systems. These control systems have vulnerability and
mitigation issues that impact Systems Development Life Cycle,
Change Management and operational movement of commodities
within the supply chain.One of the newest tools in cybersecurity, “The Roadmap to
Secure Control Systems in the Transportation Sector” will be
discussed as a framework to identify and mitigate cybersecurity
risk in maritime.Presenters: Robert Hoaglund, CPP, Security Systems Manager, Volpe

Decisions Impacting Marine Construction
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm, Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
The US Federal Government is the largest purchaser of goods
and services, which includes marine vessels purchased by
the US Navy, US Coast Guard and NOAA. This seminar topic
will provide an update on federal procurement regulations
and decisions impacting contractors, subcontractors, material
suppliers and vendors in the marine construction industry.
Specific topics will include updates on the following issues:
The false claim act and recent developments regarding the
same; New Interim Rule on “Contractor’s Business Systems;
Organizational Conflicts of Interest – “Unequal Access”; The
Contract Disputes Act; and Bid protest decisions. The seminar
presentation will also include recent decisions covering the
preparation of claims and requests for equitable adjustments
(REA) to the executive agencies. Specifically, decisions from
the GAO, Civilian Board of Contract Appeals and Court of Federal
Claims regarding pricing and proving disruption, inefficiency,
delay, and extended program claims will be covered.
Presenter: Chad Theriot, Partner, Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP Uninspected Towing Vessel Bridging
Program Update from USCG1:00 pm - 2:00 pm , Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
Pursuant to the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation
Act of 2004, Pub. L. 108-293 of August 9, 2004, a significant
regulatory project is underway that would subject the majority
of commercial towing vessels to Inspection. Regulations
developed for these vessels will be published in 46 CFR
Subchapter M. The Coast Guard (CG-CVC) has initiated
the Towing Vessel Bridging Program (TVBP) to ease the
transition from an un-inspected to an inspected vessel safety
regime by ensuring that both the Coast Guard and the towing
vessel industry are informed and prepared to meet the new
requirements to be finalized in Subchapter M. In the period
between the current and future state of towing vessel safety
oversight, a Towing Vessel Bridging Program (TVBP) has been
initiated to ease the transition and ensure that both the Coast
Guard and the towing vessel industry are informed and prepared
to meet the new requirements to be finalized in Subchapter
M. This goal will be accomplished by enhancing, improving,
and increasing Coast Guard interactions with the towing vessel
industry, and by acclimating all involved with the procedures,
policy, requirements and administration of existing and, as
implementation draws closer, new Subchapter M regulations.
To further these ends, during this period of transition the Coast
Guard will conduct extensive industry outreach, properly train
our people, and will examine every uninspected towing vessel
(UTV) that will be inspected under Subchapter M.

Saving Money by Controlling Vibration in a Marine
Drive System4:00 pm - 5:00 pm, Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
All physical systems have a natural frequency at which they
vibrate. If varying external forces are applied to the system at
a frequency that coincides with natural frequency, then rapid
amplification of the vibration, known as resonance, will occur.
Resonance can be very destructive as was seen in the famous
case of the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940,
when the frequency of the wind gusts coincided with the natural
frequency of the bridge, causing the dramatic destruction of the
bridge. It is a less dramatic form of this phenomenon that can
cause the failure of a crankshaft or gearbox on a vessel, in this
case the excessive load cycles caused by resonance will result
in early failure of these components through fatigue. Failures
that cost the marine industry millions of dollars every year. This
presentation will go into the detail of identifying these issues
before these problems occur, and how to control the natural
frequency using the most economic methods possible.
Presenter: Joe Summers, Hi Tec Coupling Product Manager, Renold PLCChoosing a Compliance Option for Towing Vessel
Regulations: What You Need to Know4:00 pm - 5:30 pm, Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
Towing Safety Management System (TSMS) requirements are
close aboard. The USCG has proposed the following vessel
inspection options for “Sub-Chapter M” operators: annual USCG
inspection boarding, annual TSMS 3rd Party Survey, or TSMS
Audit Program (3rd Party survey approximately every 30 months).
The USCG Towing Safety Advisory Committee (TSAC), following
the lead of many AWO members, has supported both TSMS
options as being scalable and affordable. Many industry experts
predict the TSMS options will become the preferred choice
of Sub-M operators because of the demonstrated flexibility,
cost efficiency, and expertise offered by 3rd Party Recognized
Organizations (R.O.). In fact, there was virtually no support
for the Coast Guard Inspection Boarding Option in either Sub-
Chapter M Public Meetings or the NPRM Public Comment Period
of last year! How much will TSMS Implementation cost a Sub-M
Operator? How much will USCG User Fees cost the Sub-M
operator? What are the advantages of the USCG Inspection
Boarding Option? What 3rd Party R.O can do the TSMS audits
and surveys? How is “objective evidence” defined and how
does it apply to Sub-M? What is the difference between a
survey and an audit? Does the industry have enough surveyors
and auditors to get the job done ? Does USCG have enough
inspectors to get the job done? If these compliance options
remain in the final rule, both the USCG and industry operators
will be faced with challenging economic choices. Listen as
representatives from the USCG, ABS, GL and service providers
discuss the pros and cons of the three options and offer insights
into how to best move forward.

Through National Standardized Curricula and Portable
Skills Certificates11:00 am - 12:00 pm ... Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
The maritime industry faces significant challenges in
finding and developing a skilled workforce. Few workforce
development programs or initiatives are focused on the
shipbuilding industry. Further, we face a significant issue with
an aging workforce and the need to attract and train significant
numbers to the industry in the near future. The National
Maritime Education Counsel is an industry-led cooperative
endeavor to develop standardized maritime curriculum and to
attract new personnel to the industry.Presenters: John Lotshaw, Director, Workforce Training and Development,

The paradigm shift to natural gas fuel for offshore
supply OSV and platform PSV vessels represents a new
workboat era. This paper examines the five No. Am trends
driving a change toward LNG as the preferred marine fuel
with focus on the GOM . Discussion beings with how two
shale gas phenomena of availability plus affordability combine
with three US EPA mandates to create a compelling case for
adoption of natural gas as a fuel. With this strong fundamental
basis, the paper next introduces coverage of the first US flag
offshore support vessels under construction for the US Gulf
of Mexico (GOM) that are launching this new LNG era . The
paper describes why these LNG offshore support vessels
represent a true win-win, operational savings and emissions
reduction while employing state of the art technology adopted
from Northern European experiences. The paper concludes
with a brief forecast of what’s ahead for the future in this new
technology enabled LNG fuel marine market space.

the US Navy Landing Craft Utility (LCU) 1600 Class
12:15 pm - 1:00 pm Keynote Stage, Hall B, Booth 150
Landing Craft, Utility (LCU) provide the Navy’s amphibious ships
with an organic capability to move heavier equipment and forces
than aircraft or air-cushioned vessels between ship and shore
in a reliable, fuel efficient manner. Although designed for a 25
year service life, the existing LCU have been operational for an
average of 40 years. As they reach the end of their extended
operational service life, shortfalls will exist in amphibious
ship-to-shore lift that exacerbate the challenges of supporting
delivery of troops, cargo and equipment on unimproved beaches
or shallow ports to support a variety of missions.
The Navy is planning to replace the LCU: This future surface
connector (originally called LCU (Recapitalization)) program
is intended to replace the capability provided by the LCU 1600
Class as designed. This presentation will articulate the need,
describe the capability to be replaced, and present the current
status of the future surface connector acquisition program.

Integrating the Work Boat Community into the National
Response Framework.1:00 pm - 2:00 pm, Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
The National Response Framework was promulgated recently
this past Fall. The work boat community is a unique asset that
has yet to be properly recognized and integrated into pre- and
post-disaster formal planning. Can the industry define roles
and then earn federal recognition by developing its own
disaster planning policies and procedures? This is about the
industry response to incidents that do not necessarily directly
affect them but rather their role in supporting others who have
been affected. This session features a round table discussion
to explore the views and ideas from academic institutions,
operators, builders, the emergency management community,
and the federal regulatory agencies.Presenter: Robert Jaffin, Faculty Member and Lecturer, Boston University

Human Errors in Risk Perception 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm, Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
Imagine you’re going on vacation somewhere hot and
exotic. Half your time will be spent in the sea. Apart from
drowning, would you be most concerned about sharks or
coconuts? Most people vote sharks. But deaths from falling
coconuts are about 10 times more common than deaths from
shark attacks. This erroneous risk perception is probably driven
in part by a primeval fear of being eaten alive by another animal.
On the other hand, it’s a good example of the “availability
heuristic,” a subjective risk assessment based on the availability
of information. When was the last time the news covered a
death by coconut? More immediate and urgent are the
consequences of human errors in risk perception at work. It is
estimated that the majority of workplace injuries are caused by
human error in risk perception. In this session you will learn how
to recognize and reduce human errors in risk perception. You will
also learn how to train your employees to internalize real risk
before injury occurs. Presenter: Corinne Gediman, Managing Principal, Proactive Safety Performance
What Does the Future of the Marine Fuel Industry Hold?
2:30 pm - 3:30 pm, Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
Over the last few years, there has been considerable
debate regarding what the future holds for various fuels used
in marine vessels. The discussions have revolved around the
cost, variety, availability, environmental impact, and equipment
investment for the consumption of various fuels. This session will
look at the international market and see how various legislative
and distribution changes will impact the domestic market.

The Benefits of Aluminum & the Associated Welding
Challenges in Boat/Shipbuilding Applications
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm, Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
Aluminum is increasingly specified in marine applications
because it is lighter weight without sacrificing strength and
functionality. This helps ships be faster, more fuel efficient,
and provides excellent corrosive properties. It does, however,
present difficulties: distortion, cleanliness, aesthetics, burn
through and difficult wire feeding, to name a few. MIG and
Pulsed MIG welding processes and technologies have
advanced to help address these challenges. This presentation
will describe how these processes now allow welders to
reduce distortion, improve weld quality, increase productivity
and simplify ease-of-use. Presenter: Brian Farkas, National Account Manager, Maxal InternationalMarine After-Treatment Options to Meet EPA Tier 4
& IMO Tier 3 Regulations4:00 pm - 5:00 pm Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
EPA Tier 4 and Global IMO regulation introduces unprecedented
challenge to the marine industry. What is the best solution? It
depends. There are many variables that need to be considered;
from balancing engine, fuel and after-treatment technology,
thru thermal management, packaging and infrastructural
dilemma. Tenneco, a global leader in emissions control, will
highlight after-treatment technology options, but will also speak
to emission control strategy. We will discuss the importance of
early involvement, and the critical roles of system integration
and performance engineering in optimizing technology across
ALL variables, with the ultimate goal of delivering the best
solution based on the unique characteristics of the application.

Hybrid Propulsion Systems11:00 am - 12:00 pm, Conference Room A, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
For the past 3 years, Nigel Calder has been the Technical
Coordinator for a major European research project (the HYMAR
project) investigating the viability of hybrid propulsion systems
in marine applications. The research proves that in most
applications if a generator has to be run to supply the energy
for the hybrid system, it is difficult to beat the efficiency of a
well-optimized conventional diesel installation. However, there
are other mechanisms available for improving hybrid efficiency
that cannot be utilized in the conventional system, and a
number of other excellent reasons for considering hybrids.
In this seminar, Nigel will explore these issues based on the
HYMAR data, providing a sound technical basis for determining
when hybrids are appropriate and when they are not.

Culture of Compliance1:00 pm - 2:00 pm, Conference Room B, Hall F, 4100 Aisle
There are so many regulations and performance based plans
these days that companies find it difficult to remain in full
compliance with the letter and intent of them all. Unfortunately,
many find out just how comprehensive the regulations
are during hearings, investigations and litigation following
accidents. Compliance is an achievable and worthy goal. In
fact, regulations are so comprehensive these days that true full
compliance with the letter and intent of them all can provide a
pathway to operational excellence.Compliance is essential to the profitability of the maritime
industry. But having a successful compliance program in
today’s highly regulated world is no easy task. Performance
based plans and procedures must reflect reality and be fully
implemented, or they can lead to significant fines and be used
as “checklists for negligence” against the company during
litigation. At this presentation attendees will learn how to
develop compliance management systems and implement
plans and procedures which represent the optimum level of
compliance for their company and help to avoid costly fines and
criminal prosecutions.Presenter: Kevin Gilheany, Owner, Maritime Compliance International, LLC

For five days in April 2009, the world was glued to
their TV screens as Captain Richard Phillips became
the center of an extraordinary international drama
when he was captured by Somali pirates who hijacked
his ship, the first hijacking of a U.S. ship in more than
200 years. Captain Richard Phillips is the author of
A Captain’s Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and
Dangerous Days at Sea, about his experience and
his remarkable rescue. This dramatic story was also
portrayed on the big screen courtesy of Columbia
Pictures, with the movie titled: Captain Phillips.
Thursday, December 4 | 11:30 am
In 1994, with zero marine experience, Foti bought
Vigor, assumed nearly $40 million in company debt
and got to work learning how to run a shipyard.
Since then, Vigor has grown from the single Portland
shipyard to operations in nine locations. The workforce
has grown to about 2,000 people. Revenues have
grown from about $40 million per year to $500
million per year. Looking ahead, Frank aims to grow
the company to more than $1 billion in annual revenue
and has plans to expand well beyond the West Coast.
