CONTENTS

The word of 2013 is apparently “Selfie” which is describedin one dictionary as follows:

“A strange phenomenon in which the photographer is alsothe subject of the photograph, in a subversive twist on thetraditional understanding of the photograph. Usually con-ducted because the subject cannot locate a suitable pho-tographer to take the photo, like a friend.”

With the recent Thanksgiving holiday in the USA I foundmyself contemplating this word ‘Selfie’ in a couple of widerperspectives.

Firstly a selfie of the family – the main thrust of theThanksgiving holiday – what other holiday has no pressurefor presents and decorations? Just the pressure to bringthe family together and to celebrate – well – just being afamily. I found myself recommending to my foreign con-tacts and friends that this is a holiday which their countrieswould do very well to adopt! I am sure that all countrieshave some major historical event which modern PR couldturn into their Thanksgiving.

Secondly, and way more complicated, a selfie of ourMaritime family….but what sort of a lens would you use?How would you include all our varied parts and ideas andour geographical diversity?

Not be too conceited, I firmly believe that the CMA is oneof the clearest lenses for the Maritime Industry to use. Wepresent a platform on which all members may be invited topresent their thoughts and ideas, but we do not promotepolitical philosophies or specific programs.

Through the CMA, our members, and those who attendand speak at our functions, one can see a “Selfie” of theindustry that supports so many for generations on genera-tions. Best wishes to you all for a happy holiday period.

–Ian Workman / President

I missed the November 21st luncheon at the Harvard Club,our second year there. I was next door at the New YorkYacht Club luncheon that followed a morning sessionacross the street at the Great Hall of the Association of theBuilding of the City of New York. The session titled “Fairand Balanced Ship Vetting: A Fact, Goal or Illusion?” wasorganized by the Society of Maritime Arbitrators (SMA) aspart of their 50th Anniversary celebrations. The distin-guished panel of arbitrators, charterers and owners wasskillfully moderated by Soren Larsen, Deputy SecretaryGeneral of BIMCO. Suffice to say that it was a very inform-ative and well spent morning.

I am sorry I missed my friend, Ted Petrone, President ofNavios Corp, and his comments about the variety anddepth of opportunities in shipping (“Tanker and DrybulkIndustry Outlook”) even at this period of uncertainty in themarket place. He filled the house and by all reports, hewas simply terrific. Ted, I really did hear such comments,but don’t let that change you.

FROM THE EDITOR

As I write this the BDI has been on an up-swing for more

than a week. As much as I hope that trend continues, the

trading range of that Index has been mercurial and winter

is rapidly approaching.

Contrary to rumors, Shipping 2014 will NOT be a musical,

partially because the new Commodore has other commit-

ments. We know that the choreographer, Saint Vitus, and

potential costume designers are disappointed, but we will

try again in 2015.

Speaking of Shipping 2014, having helped a bit with the

program I strongly suggest you to save the dates (March

17-18-19, 2014). The range of topics and issues might dis-

may you, but I assure that you will learn a great deal and

start to understand how really complex our industry has

become. The usual market, financial and technical issues

will be discussed. However, once described as a case of

regulatory exceptionalism, shipping is no longer sacro-

sanct. That is, regulations that were rigorously enforced

ashore were not afloat. That is rapidly changing. I hope to

see you in March.

A late Happy Hanukkah wish to our Jewish friends and avery Merry Christmas to all, and to all a happy and healthyNew Year.

–Don Frost

Two Quotes from Albert Einstein:• Insanity is defined as doing something overand over again expecting different results.• The world is a dangerous place to live; notbecause of the people who are evil, but because of thepeople who don’t do anything about it.

MARAD’s report to Congress in September 1999 on thestate of the country’s marine transportation systemdescribed a system over seen by 36 Federal Departments,agencies, and organizations with different agendas andhampered by the lack of a coherent policy. Many partswere crumbling and/or desperately needed modernization.Seaports and inland waterways needed dredging. Theentire system was no longer the equivalent or better than

LET’S END THE INCESSANT ANDFUTILE U.S. MTS DEBATE

http://petrospot.com/events/2014/201405_MWA_panama/profile.asp

10

our trading partners and far less able to keep up with ourworld trade competitors. The system’s infrastructure eventhen had been underfunded for decades. Other than a fewband-aid appropriations, nothing has been done to improvethat situation.

Since 1999 the Federal government funded hundreds ofconferences, studies and reports on how the system andindividual parts could be brought up to 21st Century stan-dards. Some states and academia funded many hundredsmore, and corporate and privately funded THINK TANKSproduced still more.

Within the past twelve months several federal agencies andother national organizations have revived efforts to developa workable coastal shipping policy for the U.S. TheAmerican Association of State Highways andTransportation Officials (AASHTO) released their“Waterborne Freight Transportation Bottom Line Report,” ofJune 2013. This follows on initiatives dating back to theyear 2000 to develop a short sea shipping initiative (laterdubbed a marine highway system) to use coastal water-ways to supplement our rail and road network.

In late October 2013 the Maritime Administration (MARAD)announced a three day public meeting in Washington(January 14-16, 2014) titled “National Maritime StrategySymposium: Cargo Opportunities and Sealift Capacity”.MARAD is soliciting ideas for discussion, presenters andtestimony in sessions where stakeholders of all the sub-communities and organization sizes can propose theirideas for success to policy makers.

This raises the question: What was wrong with the thou-sands of studies, reports, private papers and testimonies ofeconomists and knowledgeable transportation profession-als that have been published over the past 15 years? Willthe January 2014 event be another Kabuki theater per-formance resulting in another NATO (No Action Talk Only)affair? I hope not as the nation deserves and needs better.Nearly all of the studies and reports have reached essen-tially the same conclusions.

• The first is that we as a nation have not spent enoughmoney on our marine transportation infrastructure forseveral decades!• Secondly, many of our laws are out of date in the 21stCentury. As a result we have strangled competition in thecoastal blue water and noncontiguous trades.Protectionism inhibits innovation and change and ineffect, results in exporting jobs.• Third, we have handcuffed those government agencies

entrusted to make our harbors and waterways the safestand most efficient so as to make the delivered price of ourexports more competitive and our imports as inexpensiveas possible.

If we understand the problem, know the solutions andare still studying the problem, are we not validatingEinstein’s definition of insanity?

If government (at any level) can not, for fiscal or politicalreasons, fund our marine transportation SYSTEM in all ofits varied functions, the barriers to private enterprise to fillin the gaps should be removed. There is an enormousamount of private capital sitting on the sidelines willing toinvest in the United States, and in particular the nation’smarine transportation system. We just need to get rid ofthe disincentives.

The whole national marine regulatory regime needs to bereformed. Start with rationalizing the number of federalagencies regulating the marine transportation system. Anyprogram that can not be clearly shown to directly yield apositive result for the nation’s economy should be eliminat-ed. Laws and regulations that are meant to protect special-interests should be changed or repealed entirely. Thisshould be done regardless of arguments that the existinglaws, regulations and agencies “save maritime jobs” whenin fact they directly result in many more lost transportation,manufacturing, farming and process industry jobs. Thecost of “protection” is simply too steep.

A proposal to “carve out” an exception to the “BuildAmerican” restriction of the Jones Act that would allow for-eign built, US flag, US owned and US crewed coastal trail-er carrying ships and other types that are not presently inthe US fleet responds to:• The huge cost disparity between US ship yards and theyards anywhere else on earth. US yards cost 3 to 5 timesmore. • The connection between the high US asset- price to thecapital recovery element of freight rates.• The fact that lower capital cost and the resulting lowerfreight rates will create demand for more vessels.• Seafaring jobs will not be lost. More ships will mean moreU.S. seagoing jobs• Shipyards will not lose work for two reasons.a) The per diem value of the ships in the coastal trades

will make diversion to a foreign shipyard for repairs uneconomical as long as US yards are competitively priced.

b) The "carve out" creates potential new customers for which US yards can compete.

11

Tough love worked on the automobile industry during the1980’s and it is now healthier than it has been since theend of World War II. A similar approach can work inAmerican shipyards as well. Competition should be themantra not protectionism.

Einstein’s second quote challenges those who see a betterway to make it happen. Are we, the knowledgeable peo-ple, doing nothing about the problem? “If you seesomething, say something!”

MY LIFE IN THE ROYAL NAVY– 1899-1947

A SAILOR’S STORY – PART FIVE

By Hugh Turnour England

The China Station - 1913/1914

Looking back I suppose I was attracted by the thought ofseeing the Far East where I had never served before, andwhen volunteering to go to China I confess I did not realizewe were so close to war with Germany. I do recollect thatit would mean being away from Mother and family for a longtime and, as things turned out, I was not to see them againfor nearly five years. It also meant transferring from HMS“Colne to HMS“Chelmer”. I soon got to like “Chelmer” asmuch as the “Colne”. We had an interesting passage toHong Kong, calling at Aden, Colombo, Singapore andBrunei in Borneo - places all new to me.

On arrival at Hong Kong I found everything different to any-thing I had known before. There was one British Battalion,the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry and an IndianRegiment stationed in the Colony, but the people who real-ly counted were the members of the well known firms,Jardine Matheson, Butterfield & Swire, Hong Kong &

Shanghai and Chartered Banks. They were very kind tous, but we found it hard to compete with them, as they wereso much better paid than ourselves. It was said that after 20years service in China and becoming head of a firm, theycould retire and buy a grouse moor in Scotland!

One of our handicaps was the chits system, which meantyou never paid for anything in cash, and at the end of themonth one’s pay seldom covered the value of the chits.However, we managed and had a wonderful time, beingoften entertained by members of these firms in their hous-es up The Peak and invited to Sunday picnics in theirlaunches where champagne was the usual refreshment.Hong Kong was not crowded then and Kowloon, oppositethe island in the New Territory, was quite a small place.There was also good duck and snipe shooting up the WestRiver leading to Canton.

Mentioning Canton reminds me of an amusing incidentwhich occurred when a party of us, including two very pret-ty daughters of the French Consul General, went up therefor a fancy dress ball on New Year’s Eve. All was going welluntil in the early hours of the morning a British Captain ofone of the river steamers became very drunk and startedto use foul language. We decided to remove him. Weplaced him in charge of some sailors of the River Gunboat“Moorhen” who were helping with the dance. Some timelater I went out to see how he was getting on. I was greet-ed by one of the sailors saying, “He is alright now that histeeth are out”! I was shocked for a moment thinking theyhad broken his teeth until they explained he had false teeth.I left the Captain sleeping peacefully and he never bore meany grudge.

American HospitalityAn episode I shall always remember was the arrival atHong Kong of the American yacht “Niagara”. She was rent-ed by a millionaire, Mr. Joseph Leiter from Chicago, andboth he and his wife, Dorothy were very kind to us invitingus to many entertainments onboard the yacht.

This was my first experience of how kind and hospitableAmericans can be. After about a week at Hong Kong wepersuaded Mr. Leiter to bring his yacht to Wei-Hai-Wei,where the Fleet was due to go for their usual visit in thespring and it was there that Dorothy Leiter made herfamous remark about myself. The Commander-in-Chief,Sir Martin Jerram, was giving a dance onboard the flagshipto return the American hospitality to us and I was followingher up the accommodation ladder of the “Minataur” afterdining onboard the “Niagara”. As she stepped on to thequarterdeck the Admiral, after saying some welcomingwords, asked her what she thought of his young naval offi-cers, to which she replied “Admiral I think they are a grand

12

lot and as for young England I think he is a credit to thecountry that is named after him”!

An extravagant remark to say the least and everyone pres-ent found it difficult to keep a straight face, but she was fullof human kindness and I have never forgotten her or heryounger sister, Francis Williams, a most good looking andvery attractive girl. I became very fond of Frances and senther a gold cigarette case I suppose as a birthday present.We corresponded with each other for some time after-wards, but the war intervened and my last contact with herwas in 1923, when I was in New York waiting to come homein a Cunard Liner after commanding HMS “Valerian”, butwe did not meet as she had booked reservations to goSouth which could not be cancelled. Meanwhile, her hus-band looked after me in New York, perhaps too well mak-ing me a member of the Brook Club, which had a reputa-tion of never stopping to run even in the iniquitous prohibi-tion days, in fact I was glad to get to sea again.

Before leaving my recollections of the “Niagara” perhaps itwould be interesting to record a remark made by Mr. Leiterconcerning my brother George’s father-in-law, Mr. CharlesDingwall. I knew the latter had been a member of a big cor-poration, the Chicago Brewery Board, and asked Mr. Leiterif he had ever met him? He replied, “Of course I have, agrand business man but too honest”! Sadly, Mr. Dingwall

was drowned when the “Lusitania” was sunk by a Germansubmarine off Cork in 1917 but I was able to tell this storyto his widow.

JapanAfter some weeks at Wei-Hai-Wei, a lovey island inhabitedby the most friendly Chinese including an excellent tailor,Mr. Jelly Belly, and where we enjoyed good snipe shootingon the mainland, the flotilla went to Japan. It had notbecome modern in those days and the women were mostattractive dressed in their colorful kimonos. I remember asweet little Japanese girl bringing me my early morning cupof tea when I stayed for a night in Osaka.

We went through the Inland Sea, which was fascinating,passing by little islands on which cherry trees were in fullbloom, and we visited Kyoto, the old capital of Japan whereI recollect seeing some picturesque miniature gardens. Wespent most of our stay in Japan at Kobe which was then nota large city, but only met a few of the Japanese officialswho we did not much like, and found them quite different tothe friendly Chinese. While the flotilla was in Japan I had ahappy meeting with my old friend, Captain Tommy Brand,formerly Captain (D), 2nd Flotilla, who, as Naval Attachéhad married the Ambassador’s daughter and I broughtthem back from their honeymoon from Port Arthur.
