Colebrook,, CT, United States

Since 1990, Admiralty Associates has provided public affairs assistance for more than 30 marine casualties worldwide - in such varied locations as the Strait of Malacca, Tampa Bay, Panama Canal, New York Harbor, Gulf of Oman, Corpus Christi, Oslo Fjord, Galveston Lightering Area and the Delaware River. The casualties include oil and chemical spills, cruise ship fires as well as a mutiny off the western coast of Australia. Often shipping companies are caught off balance by the intense and frequently hostile media attention that follows a marine casualty. Government authorities are forced to react to public opinion that is not balanced by an articulate and convincing public response from the shipowner. This could result in stringent enforcement, excessive penalties and even criminal charges. However, waiting for a casualty to occur and then trying to decide on a media strategy is too late. It is necessary to have a contingency plan - including how to respond to the media - before a casualty. Following a high-profile incident, the objective of the operator's response is to resolve the problem, limit liability, effectively influence the claims process, and protect the company's reputation and stay in business. Public relations is one of the tools that can be employed to achieve these goals. The media does not tell the public what to think. Rather, the media - just by reporting events - directs the public what to think about. Therefore, it is essential that a shipping company effectively communicates to the public - to all of its key target audiences - its version of what occurred and what the company is doing to resolve the problem.

Vernon Hills, IL, United States

When 20-year-old Danish blacksmith Vilhelm Petersen sailed into Boston Harbor, little did he know that his journey would lead to the establishment of American Tool Companies, Inc. In 1902, "Bill" Petersen settled in Minden, Nebraska, where he worked for a fellow Danish blacksmith, keeping horses shod, plow shares sharpened and wagons repaired. Bill Petersen was an inventor at heart. With the introduction of the automobile and farm tractor, blacksmithing was on the decline. During the long Nebraska winters, Petersen experimented with his ideas. In 1921, he invented and patented a unique wrench with a "vise-like" grip. By 1924, Petersen had refined his invention by adding a locking lever. He patented the enhanced tool and gave it an innovative name that would become world famous: VISE-GRIP® locking pliers. He registered the distinctive clasped hands logo, a symbol that today represents the most recognized hand tool brand in the world. American Tool Companies, Inc., led by Allen Petersen, the founder’s grandson, has evolved into a leading global manufacturer and marketer of hand tools, cutting tools and power tool accessories. The company has more than 4,400 employees and manufacturing facilities throughout North America, Europe, Brazil, and the Pacific Rim. Today, its product lines include VISE-GRIP locking pliers, clamps and wrenches, IRWIN® wood boring and cutting tools, QUICK-GRIP® clamping products, RECORD® hand tools, MARPLES® woodworking tools, JACK® hand saws, POWERPRESS® pipe clamps, TURBOMAX® drill bits, PROSNIP® snips, MARATHON® and SPRINT® saw blades, UNIBIT® step drills, HANSON® taps, dies and drills, CHESCO® hex tools, SPEEDBOR® wood boring bits, and STRAIT-LINE® marking tools. Quite a dramatic change from the day a young Danish immigrant traveled to America and established his place in history.
