Houston, TX, United States
To maintain our high reliability record, each transport is thoroughly engineered and computer calculated to fully comply with ISO 9001 and ISM quality and safety standards. In addition to the preparation of each transport by our engineers, all loading and discharging operations are supervised by our experienced superintendents to ensure flawless performance of all procedures described in the transport manual. Experience has learned that consulting Dockwise engineers in a project's conceptual design phase, can be a key factor in substantially saving both fabrication and transportation costs. The seakeeping characteristics of our heavy transport vessels allow for reduction of structural reinforcements for transport-only purposes. Projects in which Dockwise consulting engineers were closely involved from the early design stage, include the transportation of the BP-Harding PDQ jack-up drilling rig, the Hibernia Mega Module Move, the transportation and launching of the ONGC/SHW jacket. The essential role of engineering in our business is also illustrated by conversions of some of our vessels, by which our engineering expertise has been the key to opening up new possibilities for our fleet and services:

As a result of European developments, it was found essential to create an organisation representing the interests of private port operators, i.e. stevedores and terminal operators, on a European level. This resulted in the foundation of FEPORT on January 13 1993, uniting national and regional representative associations of private port operators in the EU. In this way about 800 individual port operating companies are currently represented. FEPORT’s objectives are: to inform and advise its members on European port-related matters, to discuss and formulate common points of view with regard to European policy matters, to serve as an interlocutor for the EU institutions. The subjects of interest to FEPORT can be grouped in five broad categories : Seaport policy (competition policy) Transport policy Safety and environment Customs and internal market procedures EDI and R&D

The two product service lines that historically have helped maritime companies and self insured employers save millions of dollars has been, 1. Medical Nurse Case Management - where we receive notification of the injury claim within the first 24 hours and the nurse coordinates all the medical care advising our clients on the course of the medical portion of the claim. The benefits resulting in an earlier release to full duty or obtaining medical information early in the claim so that the employer or shipowner can be pre-warned if the injured party cannot go back to work or in the case of a passenger outlining and controlling reasonable rehabilitation costs. 2. On the back end of the claim there is Medical Bill Auditing, this is done by our Med-Check division, by nurses who review medical records, who search for CPT codes errors and look to alleviate any fraud or over exaggeration in medical billing. We audit all medical services of any kind in every state. The plaintiff attorneys in the U.S. along with a small portion of medical providers have been working together to escalate medical damages related to maritime accident claims. The Federal Jones Act and The Federal Long Shore Act does not limit liability awards on maritime claims and therefore it has become an arena for fraud and abuse. The maritime industry can defend against these claims with the proper use of medical cost containment services.

Our shops in Houston, Texas and Florence, Italy fabricate, assemble, and test each package using procedures certified to ISO 9000 standards. Extensive research and development, modern manufacturing techniques, and on-site experience contribute to our success. We provide single-source responsibility for package design, manufacturing, operations, training, and support, so you do not have to qualify hundreds of vendors and prepare specifications for all of the components in a generator package or mechanical drive unit. In addition, we provide an overhaul guarantee and warranty for the complete package. Our factory packaging concept ensures quick delivery and fast startup. Standardized designs shorten our manufacturing schedule. A large number of essentially identical packages are always under construction, giving us the flexibility to meet your delivery requirements—often less than 100 days. Your unit arrives ready for startup. All major components are base-plate mounted to simplify transportation and installation. No lengthy field setup is required. Our gas turbine packages use an earthquake-qualified structural design, durable electrical systems, and all-stainless steel fluid systems and reservoirs. Redundant, oversized fans keep turbine compartments cool, while generators sized larger than the turbine output accommodate future rating increases. This conservative design philosophy reflects your expectation to operate the package for 20 to 30 years.

Formation IFSMA was formed in 1974 by Eight European Shipmasters' Associations to unite the World's serving Shipmasters into a single professional co-ordinated body. It is not a trade union. It is a non-profit making, apolitical organisation dedicated solely to the interest of the serving shipmaster. Over 8000 Shipmasters from more than 40 Countries are affiliated to IFSMA either through their National Associations (36) or as Individual Members (55). Purpose IFSMA is a Federation established to uphold International Standards of Professional Competence for Seafarers commensurate with the need to ensure Safe Operational Practices, Preservation from Human Injury, Protection of the Marine Environment and Safety of Life and Property at Sea. IMO Status IFSMA was Granted Consultative Status at IMO in 1975. This Consultative Status enables the Federation to represent the views and protect the interests of the serving Shipmasters unfettered and unfiltered either by National Governments or by Labour Organizations. To enable IFSMA to function effectively at IMO, it is represented in the Four Main Committees (MSC-MEPC-LEG-FAL) by the General Secretary and a team of former Shipmasters who also attend the Nine Sub-Committees (BLG - COMSAR - DE - DSC - FP - FSI - NAV - SLF - STW). When needed serving Shipmasters provide additional expertise in the various Working and Drafting Groups. IMO Involvement Top of Page IFSMA provided a Consultant to assist in the Comprehensive Review and Revision of the 1978 STCW Convention, and actively participated in the Joint ICAO/IMO Group of Experts on the Harmonization of Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue. IFSMA also sat on the Steering Committee on Ro-Ro Ferry Safety which supervised the work of the Panel of Experts and made recommendations to MSC 65. This was without cost to IMO and was, for some two years an additional commitment to our normal work of representing Shipmasters' views on this International Platform. IMO Missions Top of Page IFSMA has now provided TWO MARITIME SPECIALISTS, each forming part of an IMO NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND PROGRAMMING TEAM within the framework of IMO's Integrated Technical Co-Operation Programme (ITCP). The first Mission was to Bulgaria (Black Sea) in December 1995 and the second Mission was to Ukraine and Georgia (CIS/Eastern Europe) in January/February 1996. IMO Studies Top of Page IFSMA prepared papers on the safety of double-hull tankers for both IMO and the USCG when discussions on this subject were at their peak in 1991. It submitted with IMPA a Joint Paper on Bridge Information Display to NAV38 and, with the Government of the Bahamas, it amended Towing Guidelines which had been proposed earlier in 1992 by Germany. In 1993 IFSMA devised a Bulk Carrier Ship-Shore Checklist for MSC62 and submitted a BESMA Paper on Quality Management in Seafarers' Training to STW25. IMO Papers Top of Page In 1994 IFSMA submitted 12 separate Papers on various aspects of Loading and Unloading Bulk Cargoes for the attention of BC33. These produced four MSC Circulars. At the end of 1995 IFSMA, Co-Sponsored by ICS and ICFTU, submitted a paper on Black Sea Search and Rescue to COMSAR 1 while a second paper on amendments to the IMOSAR and MERSAR Manuals was submitted jointly by ICS and IFSMA. A comprehensive ACOMM Technical Paper on Modifications to the Freeboard and Stability Rules of medium sized ships will be submitted to IMO in the Spring of 1996 for discussion at SLF 40 in September this year. IMO and IFSMA Objectives Top of Page IFSMA is a strong supporter of IMO in its quest for safer shipping and cleaner oceans. It is the desire of The Federation to assist IMO in achieving a truly global implementation and rigorous enforcement of its International Treaties so that there is no need for any Country to resort to Regulatory Measures on either a National or a Regional basis. IFSMA has much approved of the Secretary-General's initiative to speed up Entry into Force and Amendment procedures, and continues to fully support his initiatives for a thorough and comprehensive review of Bulk Carrier Safety and Ro-Ro Ferry Safety in all their aspects. Policy Top of Page IFSMA has long held the firm belief that Shipowners and Ship Management Companies should hold a Safety Management Document of Compliance issued by the Flag State Administration before being permitted to operate ships, that increased scrapping of antiquated and sub-standard ships should be speeded up, and that world wide regional Port State Control is now top priority. In particular there should be a total ban, effective world wide, on the re-registration of ships for commercial trading once they have been sold for scrap and demolition. Shipmasters Defined Top of Page IFSMA defines Shipmasters as those who are in possession of an Internationally recognised Certificate of Competency, issued by the Government of an established Maritime Nation who are serving or have previously served, in Command of Seagoing Ships whether or not engaged upon International or Domestic Trade. Shipmaster's Status in IFSMA Top of Page Once a man has risen to the rank of Shipmaster he is forever entitled to belong to IFSMA and there is no requirement in our Statutes for the periodic revalidation of his Certificate of Competency (as there is in the STCW Convention). But if he were to lose his licence due to negligence, incompetence, or misconduct then he would no longer qualify for membership of the Federation. Other Organisations Top of Page Trade Unions, National Associations, Professional Institutes and Learned Societies are all equally welcome as Shipmasters Organizations in affiliation with IFSMA and there is no distinction made between them. 21st March 1996

The original congressionally authorized commission to review and make recommendations for a national ocean policy was convened under the Marine Resources and Engineering Development Act of 1966. That commission, which is commonly referred to as the Stratton Commission after its chairman, Julius Stratton, issued its far-reaching report on January 9, 1969. President George W. Bush announced his intent to appoint the 16 members of the new Commission on Ocean Policy on June 15, 2001, based on a process that included nominations by the Congress and appointment by the President. These appointments were finalized on July 3, 2001. Details on the procedures for appointing the Commission can be found in the Information on the Oceans Act, and in the Oceans Act.
