HARLEY MARINE SERVICES A FULL SERVICE MARITIME COMPANY 910 SW SPOKANE STREET, SEATTLE, WA 98134 www.harleymarine.com

PRESS RELEASE HARLEY MARINE SERVICES NAMES TWO ARTICULATED TUG & BARGE UNITS SEATTLE, WA (January 20, 2017) – Harley Marine Services announces the naming of two articulated tug & barge (ATB) units currently under construction at Gunderson Marine (barges) and Conrad Shipyard (tugs), respectively. The vessels include two 116 foot tugs and two 80,000 barrel barges.

On the first unit, the tug will be named ONECURE and the barge, ONEDREAM. The names have a very personal meaning to Harley Franco, Chairman and CEO, as he honors his lifelong friends, Larry and Sherry Benaroya, of the Benaroya Research Foundation, for the work they have done fighting diabetes in the Pacific Northwest. Harley Marine Services has been a longtime supporter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) in their effort to fight Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).

The name “ONEDREAM” is derived from Seattle’s successful T1D fundraising Dream Gala. ONEDREAM will be propelled

by ONECURE, which aspires for a cure for Type 1 Diabetes. The Benaroyas’ leadership, passion and commitment have inspired Harley Marine Services to bestow them with a naming opportunity. “We are blessed to have people like the Benaroyas who model philanthropy in the Seattle community and beyond”, shares Harley Franco. This naming highlights their 30 year dedication to T1D. Larry Benaroya says, “These names will reflect the singular vision of life without Type 1 Diabetes and will help tell a story of our fight against Type 1 Diabetes.”

The second ATB unit will be named with a nod to Harley Marine Services corporate culture. The tugboat will be named TODD E PROPHET and the barge ALL ABOARD FOR A CURE. Todd Prophet, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Harley Marine Services, has been a loyal, passionate company leader for 19 years. He has spearheaded financing and capital structures to allow for Harley Marine’s steady growth, expansion and construction projects.

While Todd has battled lung cancer and has fought hard to overcome the enormous challenges, he has continued to work diligently for Harley Marine and steps up for a variety of the company’s many philanthropic pursuits. Despite his diagnosis, he has remained a pillar within the company and a rock for his family. “We are honored to have a vessel named after Todd Prophet, a valuable asset and senior leader in the company,” states Harley Franco. The companion barge, named ALL ABOARD FOR A CURE, speaks to Harley Marine’s mission to give back to the community. Whether fighting to end cancer, cystic fibrosis or diabetes, the company is compelled to make a difference by supporting charities in their efforts to fund research. Harley Marine’s company slogan “Cruisin’ For a Cure”, dating back to the company’s infancy, will remain until a vessel can proudly be named “Cure Found”.

The tugs, each being built at Conrad Shipyard of Morgan City, Louisiana are 116 feet long with a beam of 36 feet. Each vessel is equipped with (2) GE Tier 4 propulsion engines, for a total of approximately 4,560 horsepower, and (2) John Deere, Tier 3 generators. These cutting edge engines reduce NOx and particulate matter and reinforce Harley Marine’s commitment to being an environmentally responsible leader within the maritime industry. The vessels are each equipped with a Markey tow winch and bow and stern fendering.

Built at Gunderson Marine of Portland, Oregon, the barges are 430 feet long with a beam of 76 feet with a carrying capacity of 80,000 barrels. Their state-of-the-art Nitrogen Gas Generators inject Nitrogen into all cargo compartments maintaining an inert or “oxygen deficient” environment which exponentially increases the safety of the barge. The system adds another vital level of protection to the transportation and handling of the customers’ petroleum products.

The ATB’s will be coupled utilizing Articouple pins to connect the tugs to the barges. These connections create one unit which functions like a tanker ensuring more stability under tow. The vessels will exceed all regulatory, internal, and customers’ expectations.

Harley Marine Services is a leading provider of marine transportation services in the United States, with operations along the West Coast (including Alaska), New York Harbor and the U.S. Gulf Coast. Services provided include the transportation and storage of petroleum products, ship assist and escort, the transportation of general cargo and rescue towing. Harley Marine is dedicated to providing excellent customer service and maintaining our obligations to employees, shareholders, our community and the environment.

MENTORING&TRAINING

Captain Torey Sue mentoring Mate Andrew Pugh on fire safety.

Mentoring and Training is Beneficial

By Daniel Baumfalk, OTB Captain

Mentoring the best people can be rewarding. You can take credit for others accomplishments, you can ride the coat-tails of a sharp crew member, and you can always be proud of your mentee. There is nothing better than having a self starting superhero, content to let you pretend to show them something.

The idea of being a mentor is to pass knowledge down that the mentee did not already have. By mentoring a newer person to the industry or vessel, you are setting them up for immediate success. They have a direct link to your knowledge and in return you can shape their skills to best fit your needs.

What about the other 99% of us? What about that quiet Mate who spends his watch planning your next burnt meal or the deckhand who can’t spell “not”, let alone tie one? Maybe its an ineffective manager who leads from behind with a whip. Who will help enable these people to succeed?

Lastly, you may be able to right a wrong. There are many people in this industry who have been thrown off of their goal track. Personal situations such as divorce, health problems, or misunderstandings with a coworker have pulled their focus away from advancement.

Most of the training we do comes from actually performing the job. Delegating all the important tasks to your best crewmember can leave others unprepared. The only way to teach a person to tie a knot is to physically tie a knot. By giving people a chance to practice skills during non-critical times could mean the difference between success and failure when it counts. It will also give you an opportunity to observe their game while instilling needed confidence. Showing personal interest in a person makes them feel valuable, needed, and part of something.

By getting out of the “OPS MANUAL” and showing interest in their well-being as a person may be enough to correct the course of their career. People who feel cared about and part of your team will try not to let you down.

Look about your crew, your port, or your office. Identify a person who is struggling or is being excluded.

Take your training to the next level and mentor someone who actually needs it. They will be better for it and you may discover that you are better for it as well.

SAFETY CORNER Here Come the Authorities

By Rich Softye, Vice President, Safety

How many of you get sweaty palms or just give that extra look when driving down the highway and a Highway Patrolman, Policeman or Sheriff pass you by? Come on, admit it! I believe it is human nature to examine one’s self when an authority figure is in your sight.

USCG, State Department of Ecology, maritime law enforcement officers, classification societies, and external auditors are the authorities that give us pause. In our business, “the folks from Seattle” may be the authority figures who may give you rise also. Well, just as we tell our children, if you have done nothing intentionally wrong, then you have nothing to fear.

Harley Marine has proven itself time and again that we are a superior company in Quality, Safety and Customer Service. That proud accomplishment has been earned over many years of top notch attention to detail. It is the responsibility of each and every one of us to maintain that reputation.

1990 was a game changer for the maritime industry when the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 was enacted. It has taken this quarter of a century for the maritime industry to grow with the exponential attention to the myriad of Safety, Environmental, Operational, Engineering and Management changes. Over these past years, a surge of attention and consciousness has swept the maritime world.

I entered the maritime world as a cadet in 1969. I sailed US and foreign flagged vessels back when it was common knowledge that drinking was taking place aboard ships; there were no alcohol and drug policies to speak of.

Captains were considered kings in many circles and as long as a ship got from one port to another not many authorities existed, with the exception of the USCG. Most

authorieties were somewhat ineffective as they were in their early years of getting sea legs.

Oh how the maritime world has changed; our Captains are managers of policies and procedures and advocates of the company culture. Long gone are the days of Captains being autonomous and independent.

The Safety Management System (HMS MOM), Tanker Management Self Assessment Program (TMSA) and the Self Inspection Report (SIRE) have pretty much ended the romantic days of operating vessels. We now have these various sets of guidelines that we MUST comply with to maintain business in this competitive world.

Our tugs and barges are business units that require constant HMS shoreside support to identify and secure business opportunities with our ongoing and potential customers. HMS provides personnel, equipment, and operational guidelines to our Captains and crews and coordinates with the myriad of in-house and external authorities that oversee and help guide our operations.

We are under constant scrutiny by the “authorities”. We need to show that we do our business smarter, safer, and environmentally responsible with sustainability. This is what distinguishes HMS in the maritime world.

Bring on the authorities as we all work together as a team to keep Harley Marine on top!

One Fish, Two Fish, Eel Did you know, Harley Marine Services is home to three eels? Our Seattle headquarters showcases a sea life sanctuary, a tribute to our industry and the environment in which we work. The sanctuary contains over 40 species of sea life, from barnacles and sea stars to rock fish and even a wolf eel.

Guests are invited to engage and learn about the different animals living in the sanctuary by exploring our favorite feature, the touch pond.

For those that have not visited our Seattle office, this month we want to introduce you to our wolf eel, Gunwale. She has been living in our aquarium for four years and has grown to be seven feet long.

Additionally, our Seattle and Los Angeles offices have salt water, tropical tanks. Each tank is home to a snowflake eel, Eelvis (Seattle) and Rocky (Los Angeles).

Many studies have shown that fish make people happy; having an aquarium in your company or home is a great way to reduce stress – seeing the fish swimming peacefully through the water as the bubbles flow freely gives off a sense of relaxation, which is received and processed by receptors in our brain. Next time you are in our office, stop by and say hello to one of our eels.

Rocky the Snowflake Eel

WOLF EEL FACTS

• They are found in the Pacific coast from North Baja of California to Kodiak Island in Alaska. They are also found in Russia, Aleutian Islands of Japan, Islands of Racerocks (near the Rosedale Reef), and Imperial Beach of Southern California.

• A wolf eel can grow up to 8 feet in length and can weigh up to 88 pounds • The wolf eel is not a true eel, but part of the Anarhichadidae family of “wolf fishes”.

• It may be a vicious looking eel, but has the opposite temperament • Its Latin name is “Anarrhichthys ocellatus”

Gunwale the Wolf Eel

SNOWFLAKE EEL FACTS

• Originates from Indonesia and is indigenous to the Indo-Pacific Ocean, the Red Sea and the east coast of Africa • Of the Moray species • It is very good in jumping and known for being escape artists • Its Latin name is “Echidna nebulosi”

Rosepoint Inland Towing Function

By Eric Vuoso, Mate

FEBRUARY 2017 (1)

Rosepoint ECS released an update some time ago adding functionality to the program to show the size of a tow being pushed ahead or made up on the hip.

The function is easy to enable and only takes a few settings to configure the size and position of the tow.

1. First locate the BOAT tab on the right side of the Rosepoint screen. Click once to open Boat settings. Next under symbol click the dropdown menu and select Towboat.

2. On the upper left, click the menu button and on the menu click “Configure Vessel and Electronics”.

(2)

3. Next, to configure the size of the tow and your position on it, click the vessel tab and towards the bottom you will see “Size of Tow”.

The default settings are blank, and the default position the tow will appear on is the push ahead (no value for offset).

To change the position of the tow relative to your vessel, change the tow offset. Remember to put a unit of measure, such as feet. or yards.

(3)

If the tow does not appear in the correct position, change the values to a negative value for the length, beam or offset.

Be aware: Vectors for set and drift will be shown for the whole unit based on your vessel’s navigation equipment.

Settings for vectors and rate of turn can also be found in the BOAT tab.

4. To return to a light vessel operating mode, once again click on the upper right (BOAT tab) then, from the drop down select the desired size of boat representation you want displayed.

Not every tow configuration can be set with this function. If your vessel has the +Inland add-on for Rosepoint ECS, more tow configurations and parameters can be set, this can be found on the Rosepoint website.

The hope is that this will add an extra level of situational awareness. STAY SAFE!

Retirement Planning – 4th Quarter 2016 Market Commentary The election of Donald Trump sparked a year-end rally that saw US stocks rise roughly 10% from election night to the close of the year. The rally was based on dual expectations for fiscal stimulus (in the form of tax cuts and increased infrastructure spending) and fewer regulations. Equally important is the rise in bond yields that occurred over the same period.

Ten year Treasury yields rose from around 1.8% pre-election to close at 2.45% as of year-end.

The pickup in growth and inflation expectations, could be enough to spur a more aggressive campaign of interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve.

Of course any conjecture about the near-term direction of interest rates and inflation, are speculative, as many unresolved questions remain. Will the incoming administration’s spending priorities win out over the congressional GOP’s penchant for fiscal austerity? How will the administration’s ideas about protectionism play against the GOP’s historical leanings towards free trade? What will American healthcare look like going forward? With such critical questions still unresolved, it’s possible that equity markets have gotten ahead of themselves with the recent rally. The forward Price/Earnings ratio of 16.9 for the S&P 500 Index indicates a modestly above average valuation, relative to the 25 year average of 15.9.

A few risks could derail growth expectations. A damaging trade war or increased political tension with key trading partners like China or Mexico remain real possibilities. Upcoming elections in France and Germany provide a platform for the far right to continue growing nativism and protectionist sentiment in Europe. Brexit could influence further unraveling of the EU. Rogue actors like North Korea or Russia remain geopolitical wild cards. With the last significant market dip more than five years in the rearview mirror (and gains of over 230% since 2009), it would be easy for investors to grow complacent in a time of rising risks.

Retirement Planning – 4th Quarter 2016 Market Commentary US stocks finished the year with solid gains across most asset classes, with the S&P 500 up 11.96% for the year. Small and Mid-Cap stocks continued their 2016 surge, with 12-month gains of 14.39% and 20.25%, respectively. Value investing dominated Growth investing with an impressive year-end return of 20.79%, versus just 3.16% for the Growth benchmark. Indeed the only domestic market segments with negative returns for the quarter were Large Cap Growth and Mid Cap Growth with losses 0.32% and 0.05%, respectively. Large Cap Growth lagged all segments for the year with a gain of just 1.79% after leading the market through 2014 and 2015.

From an industry sector perspective, Real Estate also suffered a loss of 2.70% for the quarter.

The two big sector winners were Energy, with gains of 7.26% for the quarter and 27.89% for the year, and Financial Services, with a whopping 19.00% gain for the quarter and 20.63% for the year.

International markets did not fare as well, with the MSCI EAFE Index losing 0.68% for the quarter and an anemic 1.51% gain for the year. Emerging markets lost 4.08% in Q4 after getting buffeted by a rising US dollar, but still posted a solid gain of 11.60% for a resurgent year.

Fixed income lost ground across all durations, with the Short-term, Intermediate-term, and Long-term Indexes losing 0.69%, 2.32%, and 6.89% for the quarter. But all three still managed to post solid returns for the year, with respective gains of 1.46%, 2.22%, and 5.10%. Overall, the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index lost 2.98% for the quarter, but gained 2.65% for the year.

Stormy has been with HMG since March of 2014 and has since become a valuable member of the Gulf’s Engineering Department as Assistant Port Engineer.

Olympic Tug & Barge would like to recognize Dennis Pinfold as the January Employee of the Month. Dennis started on the Gyrfalcon in Dutch Harbor and later transferred to OTB Seattle. He has a keen attention to detail and organization which can be seen in the engine room of the MILLENNIUM DAWN. Soon Dennis will be shifting over to the new build EARL W REDD. He was chosen for this role because of his Z Drive knowledge, work ethic and his ability to problem solve. I think that we can all agree that Dennis is one of the best. Way to go!

Starlight Marine Services would like to recognize Dave Cadiz as the January Employee of the Month. Dave has been a steady, integral team member of SMS for many years. He is always considerate, caring, and willing to help, mentor and train others. Thank you, Dave, for all you have done.

Millennium Maritime would like to recognize Nolan Padilla as the January Employee of the Month. Nolan has been a deckhand engineer for the past eight years. Lately, he has been working with the other engineers and getting the work covered on the call back boats. He’s been coming in with a great attitude and high energy.

He has been the boots on the ground for our port engineer and port captains by communicating with them on the work that he’s getting done on the MILLENNIUM MAVERICK and has taken ownership of the boat. He has been responsive at all hours – including the early morning call outs – and has been dispatch’s go-to-guy in the engineering department. Thank you, Nolan, for all your hard work.
