2 SOUNDINGS ♦ Q1 2019

Throughout the month of March, everyone at Harley Marine Services was given the task to keep their eyes and ears open for an HMS team member who has done something exceptional. Once the person recognized this teammate doing something exceptional, they were able to tell us about it by submitting a nomination.

During that time we received dozens upon dozens of fantastic nominations across the entire company. It was hard to narrow it down to one winner because all the nominations had exceptional stories. Below you will find the winner of our March 2019 Thumbs Up Challenge.

Thumps Up Challenge

Tug ANDREA westbound in New York.

I would like to nominate Josh

Davison for the thumbs up award for HMNY. Josh has been an important part of the HMNY growth

on the east coast, and most importantly the ports of Philadelphia and the southeast. Josh has demonstrated excellent work throughout

his time at HMNY. His leadership and willingness to go the extra effort the past four years since he joined our team has been an important part of HMNY

success.When we entered the Port of Philadelphia, Josh lead one of our two bunker barges

that was going to service a new customer in the port. With our new expansion comes a lot of challenges, Josh proved to be an outstanding Barge Captain who was able to help and lead to ensure our operations ran smoothly. When we entered the Ports of Charleston and Savannah josh showed again his willingness to go the extra effort

and help the HMNY operation. On his off time, he helped get the barges operational and outfitted that entered the Southeast. He also filled in as tankerman to give

his guidance and support to the new hires that were new to HMNY and the equipment.

Josh has a bright future at HMNY, he will continue to be key asset to our future growth on the barges and

in the wheel house. - Aaron Wood

4 SOUNDINGS ♦ Q1 2019 Q1 2019 ♦ SOUNDINGS 5

I first met Brandon Twomey

while tying up a barge at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The tug he was working on, ANDREA, was tied up at

the pier with the barge JACKSON EADES. It was blowing a gale with heavy rain, but Brandon came on the deck of the barge he was standing-

by with to help us catch lines and tie-up, without ever being asked to help over the radio. He saw us coming in and realized the prevailing conditions were not

optimal, and another hand on deck would be beneficial to a safe and effective tie up. Brandon is a guy who is serious about his job and absolutely proud of the work he does,

but also down to earth and ready to cut up with a good joke, which at times out on the water is better than anything else.About two months ago, when I officially started my mate training with HMNY, I was lucky enough to be placed on the tug ANDREA, under the direct guidance of Brandon and his

Captain Guy Spletosser. In the first two months of training, Brandon had already bestowed more boat

handling tips than I had received from anyone else in my previous number of years working for Harley Marine. He has a unique ability to help

people see a path to success, and has helped me harness a new confidence within myself to achieve my goals that I have

been falling short on for so long.

As he does every day during

his two-week shift, he eats at 1730 and after dinner he makes his way to the engine room. He examines

the purr of the three main engines, and the tone of the generator in use; all while making sure the standby generator and tow machine are

ready for battle in a minute’s notice. He is constantly moving from one source of information to another, constantly alert of the hazards and responsibilities that he

embraces with such serene delight; all the while he talks softly to himself.His talk is not the rambling of an eccentric or someone whose mind is drifting about. It is the talk of someone who is solely responsible for the power plant, all systems and propulsion of the vessel. It is the talk of someone who must rely on his own

experience and education. It is a way of stepping through a list of reminders, a way of directing the process on which he is so intently focused. Perhaps even

more, it is a way of protecting his charges: his mates, his systems, and our cargo. Chief Engineer Sheldon Hice is an essential part of this

crew, this vessel and the company. There isn’t much he can’t do, and if there is, he is learning it while

we are still talking about it.

In the two years that I’ve

been with Harley Marine, I’ve had the opportunity of working on different vessels and

interacting with different crewmembers. Someone that has stood out to me the most is John Strong. I would like to

point out the job that he did in Alaska. He maintains a tight crew that always work very well together under his management. He does an amazing job at ensuring

that all HMS policies are met. He works real close with customers, making sure to meet their needs and

timelines. He always strives to be safe, responsible, reliable, and efficient.

I would like to Nominate

Engineer Cory Buckhalter for doing an outstanding job on the Tug KESTREL, and without

hesitation on any barge we tow. Recently, Cory installed hot starts on the main engines on the tug. Not only did he install

everything himself, he spent the time to make everything look professionally done. He painted brackets to color match the engines, and added LED

indicator lights to notify when they were online. Everything he does is carefully thought out and done in the most

professional manor. This is just one of many things he does onboard to keep our equipment in top

shape and running smoothly.

Captain Jack Hutchins

has been aboard the vessel 4.5 years. He brings over 30 years of

experience to the operation. His experience is passed down to the deck crew, which results

in every job being done safely and efficiently. He has definitely shown his dedication and

willingness to go the extra mile, for a smooth operation.

Adam Churchill has

stretched himself into every aspect of this operation, EVERYTHING. He is

readily available 25 hours a day and 8 days a week and is fully vested in getting us in compliance.

We have worked as a team under his leadership; his lead has been instrumental in our success.

COI? Got it, SIRE? Got it! How? ADAM! I believe he is deserving of this award and

recognition.

The exceptional person I’d

like to see recognized is Johnny Parckys. He makes every vessel and every crew he works

a better, safer unit. All the other mates I know go to him for advice on paperwork, procedures, voltage plans, and

anything else they’re unsure of. He always does extra work on the boat, whether it’s cooking, organizing, as well as pitching in when he can to make sure other guys can get some rest. He is regularly offering dispatch to work on his off time. His

name should be in the hat for kudos as well as the short list for captain training. I can see him one day being one of

our best captains. He certainly is a fine team leader. This is the type of incentive workers really

appreciate.

I would like to nominate

Captain Mike Little for his exceptional well doing on board the BARRY SILVERTON. I feel

like myself as well as all the crew onboard are very lucky to have him as a Captain. He is one of the kindest, most patient

captains I have ever worked with. He puts in countless hours to make sure the day-to-day function onboard the vessel is kept up to

the highest level of production and safety. He is more than willing to teach and guide you in any part of your seamen ship progress. With his wealth of knowledge, he is detrimental in the progress of everyone on board becoming better sailors. Every day, he

teaches us something new and is more than happy to do so. He works countless hours and days to keep this vessel going and

I think that should be respected and rewarded. If every boat had a Captain like Mike Little the waterways

would be much safer and pleasant to work.

I have always wanted

to publicly recognize Steve Tucker, so when I found out about the thumbs up

project, I knew it was the perfect time. Steve is legendary throughout our fleet of tugs here at OTB;

not only for his outstanding engineering skills but also for his “we got this” attitude. I truly believe that his courage and commitment to our team at OTB and to

the rest of the world is worth mentioning. Steve recently became a kidney donor, please read

about it in this article. “Roll Tide” to my friend, Stevie T.

AB Tankerman Tyler

Michaelson is an exceptional employee. Tyler routinely goes out of his way to please our

customers’ customers. He’s consistently putting in more hours than anyone else on my crew, and he never

questions a task assigned to him. He’ll soon be a Mate Tankerman for OTB through his own

drive and ambition. He’s an exceptional crewmate and genuinely liked by his fellow crewmembers. If I could

have a full crew of Tyler Michaelson’s, then crewing perfection would be obtained.

I have been sailing with Max

Martin for almost three years now. Prior to that he was a go-to deckhand that was wanted by

all. During the time he has been with me, he has acquired his AB/STCW credentials and is working towards his Mate/

Master License. He has stepped up and took over all landings and departures on the radio. He has been training in the wheelhouse, doing all the paperwork, log entries, voyage plans, daily position reports, drills, chart corrections,

drives boat with and without barge, cooks half the meals, does all the shopping and helps out with anything else myself or

anyone else needs help with. He runs the deck and is the go-to-guy for anything and everything while

maintaining a very positive attitude.

There is no task that Chief

Engineer Joseph Heard doesn’t complete. He is a true teammate; he will help, assist or teach

anybody that needs any help. He continually goes above and beyond to maintain and keep the vessel’s machinery

spaces spotless and inspection-ready at all times. He willingly assists in vessel tasks not normally required of him. He can be

called at all hours of the day and has a can do attitude in every situation.

Joe is an exceptional example of the safety culture and professional work ethic that HMS represents. He is a leader

and is contributing by helping to guide less experienced employees. He is the type of employee that makes

every vessel and crew better when he is aboard.

Tomas “TJ” Bonilla

recently caught a digital glitch in our digital Bill of Lading and saved

us a lot of time and a headache. TJ figured out it the BOL was calculating our final bottoms on board amounts wrong and

caught it and notified our supervisors. He really saved the day.

I’ve had the opportunity to

work with Carlos Trinidad on a number of occasions, and every time has been absolutely

incredible. Whether it was in the Sound, or upriver on the fish run, he has always had a positive attitude about the job. He

and Rich Pennewell were sent to the river for the fish run the first year we had it, and neither one had ever been upriver. We speak

a different language on the river, and they adapted perfectly, always asking what else they could do, and never failing to

overcome any obstacle. The same attitude towards his job is present here in the Sound. He

makes life very easy!

Eric DiStefano has been

with the HMS family for about 20 years. Eric is always at work two hours before his shift

starts, willing to help dispatch when needed. Eric is one of our lead tankermen here at Westoil, his knowledge is

valuable to barge operations, as he is always able to help out with scheduling crews and barge loading times.

Eric is a mentor to the entire workforce and is always willing to give his input to others. Eric contributes to everyone having

a lovely day at work. Eric excels as a tankerman, even with the large volume of work he is asked of

and even volunteers for.

Todd Johnston is an

awesome captain and a great shipmate. He is very easy going, easy to get along with, and

is a great teacher. Whether it’s teaching a deckhand how to mix and prep paint, or teaching a mate how to flop, or the

ins and outs of a landing, you can tell that he enjoys teaching others and has a wealth of knowledge. He is also great with customers, and is always looking for

projects to keep the boat and barge in the best shape they can be. He is always on time and always takes the

safest approach when maneuvering the boat and barge.

Thank you to everyone who participated by submitting a nomination for our teammates. We realize how difficult the task was to select just one! Here are some of the many stories told.

Over the last few

months, Jennifer Beckman has done a great job with improving working

relationship between marketing and dispatch for L.A., S.F., and the PNW.

The communication has greatly improved and she is always prompt on contractual questions and

pricing. Even when she is traveling, she is still very responsive and we can count on her

to be there.

6 SOUNDINGS ♦ Q1 2019

Harley Marine Services (HMS) was founded on the principal of a firm commitment to continually improving the waterways in which we operate. This spirit has separated us from our competition and it is in this spirit that the company exercises our Incident Command System (ICS) to respond to and prepare for spills.

Over the past three years, HMS has developed an internal ICS Spill Response Team that trains annually regardless of state and federal Spill drill requirements.

The HMS Spill Management Team (SMT) was developed in advance of a west coast rule making decisions regarding company spill team certifications. Beginning in January of 2020, Washington and California will establish requirements for the review and approval of a company’s SMT.

Under chapter 172-182 WAC there will be major changes to the way these states:

• Give approval to the industry for their SMT

• Implement the SMT application process

• Oiled wildlife rescue contractors chosen by a company will now have to be vetted through the state

• Enhancing readiness by industry for spills that involve oils that may submerge or sink

HMS has never relied on pressure from the state to pick up the call for environmental responsibility, therefore these upcoming changes to the way SMT’s are approved on the west coast represents low hanging fruit for our company. Many of the required changes that are being proposed have already been taken into account and folded into our company’s Safety Management System.

In the months, leading up to these new regulations Washington State has asked for industry input during the development phase. Harley Marine has committed to attending all of the upcoming state and industry meetings that will be instrumental in shaping this major change to west coast spill response.

Health Safety and Investigations, Operations, Quality and Security. This department also leads the coordination and execution of the Tanker Management and Self Assessment (TMSA) program which are the Key Performance Indicators that our oil companies judge us by in utilizing our services.

Security – We have an obligation to provide security both ashore and afloat. We work with shoreside managers and vessel crews, particularly the captains to ensure we are on the lookout for security threats and maintaining our Security Plans.

This department has the Company Security Officer and Alternate Company Security Officer as well as the Seattle OTB Facility Security Officer (FSO) and Alternate Security Officer (AFSO). The only other facility requiring the FSO and AFSO is our Channelview Facility. We liaise with the IT Department to work on recognizing and combating security threats to our vessels and shoreside facilities.

Quality – Here we have another coordination program where each and every employee must embrace the tenants of a quality organization by being responsible, accountable and working towards a common goal. A trait of a Quality organization is how the products and services are valued by our customers.

Every week the senior management of HMS and the regions meet to discuss appropriate topics that percolate up from regional and departmental meetings which define us as a Quality company

which by the way is recognized by our International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification.

Environment – There are many aspects to the HMS Environmental missions that are coordinated out of this department. All of the waste streams of garbage, oily waste, sewage, ballast from our vessels are accounted for by the vessels and are monitored by this department to ensure environmental compliance. National and International agreements and laws require companies to be able to respond to discharges of oil spills. We maintain the plans and coordinate the major exercises required by the states and USCG throughout all of HMS.

By embracing the Incident Command System, we have created a Go-Team to assist and relieve our regional offices when an incident may occur. Coordination to support the regional offices in planning, training employees and execution of these exercises takes months of work. These exercises draw approximately 60 to 100 participants from Federal, state and local organizations who partner with us for a successful response and cleanup simulation.

I hope the brief explanations of the above duties and responsibilities of the HSSQE Department is helpful to you in understanding the (many times behind the scenes) groundswell of support provided by this department in helping each and every employee to be healthy, safe, secure and confident in our quality operations and responsibility to the marine environment in which we work.

The Harley Marine Services HSSQE Department has been in full gear now for a little over a year and has had a significant effect on the functioning of the company.

Combining Health, Safety, Security, Quality and Environment into one coordinated effort touches on every person, process and piece of equipment we call Harley Marine. Let’s take a brief look at what each part of this department does.

Health – Health issues that are handled by this department center around the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series of national rules and procedures addressing our crew’s wellbeing when injured or removed from vessels for medical purposes.

We work closely with the Claims Department to ensure proper accounting is made, the crewmembers are receiving proper care, and we

provide the investigation of how the crewmember was injured or became ill.

Safety – Everyone knows that Safety is number one for this company. To take a few words from Shell Oil Company, “Your Family needs you”. This department leads the charge in ensuring this by distribution of safety materials, conducting frequent vessel boardings to be available to crews to explain Safety processes and procedures and advise the company on new and innovative ways to ensure safety. Ensuring safety goes hand in hand with developing and maintaining the company’s Safety Management System (SMS).

The SMS has been undergoing constant change this past year to become the best it can be in giving employees the place to go for Policy and Procedures regarding Human Resources and Administration, Emergency preparedness and management, Engineering, Environmental,

Captain Steve EstepCaptain Steve joined Harley Marine Gulf shortly after Harley Marine acquired MGI Marine in 2011. His presence in our operation brought credibility as we worked to build our business on the gulf coast. While Captain Steve could be a tough cookie, he was also a man of great experience and well respected throughout his 40+ year career in the marine transportation industry. For those who worked with Steve, we will all remember his passionate safety trainings including his many sea stories. Captain Steve always joked with his crew that his “seabag” was packed and he was ready to take command of any vessel. We will miss Steve’s personality, experience, and hard charging ways. Our thoughts and prayers are with Steve and his family.

Remembering

On March 7, 2019, Katherine Hummel from the California Department of Fish and Game, Office of Spill Prevention and Response, was on hand at LA 301 to observe one of our semi-annual boom deployment drills. Captains, tankermen, and deckhands were all represented as 1100 feet of harbor boom was successfully deployed and positioned within the allotted time permitted to complete this important state required equipment drill.

This drill helps our employees better understand our objectives in an emergency by allowing them to experience how to deploy the skiff, deploy the boom without twist to better insure containment, maneuver the boom with the skiff to improve response times and allows us an opportunity to visually inspect the boom for damage.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this drill.
