JUNE 2017

In light of President Trump’s recent retreat from the global Paris Accord to address climate change, Harley Marine Services remains more committed than ever to promoting green business and to reducing our carbon footprint.

See CEO, Harley Franco’s speech below to industry leaders upon being inducted into the International Maritime Hall of Fame in New York, May 12, 2017.

Thank you, Joe, for introducing me to this wonderful room filled with industry giants and legends!

I was assured by several of them, some even past inductees that if I kept my speech to less than three minutes, I was assured a standing ovation. While that’s tempting, I do have a few comments that I would like to share with you tonight.

So at the risk of keeping you from the bar and the wild after-parties, here goes: Thirty years ago, when we started this company, we consciously scribbled a mission statement that has been the DNA of our corporate culture and the road map to our success.

Our commitment to the environment, our customers, and our employees’ general safety and well-being has been the cornerstone, the brick and mortar of building our business. And we did this by building bridges and relationships of trust, mutual respect and collaboration, not walls of isolation or self-serving agendas.

We immediately embraced the US Coast Guard and regulators to spearhead and brainstorm environmental solutions rather than bucking them to the detriment of our environment. We have tried to serve as ambassadors, allies and partners in the communities where we operate to enhance our world, rather than opportunists or agents of greed and self-interest.

One of the things I am most proud of as a member of our industry is that while Harley Marine is very competitive in our proposals we have always made sure to maintain the highest standard in our practices, raising and even setting the bar for Marine transportation. We do not look for cheap short cuts and are constantly investing in new cutting edge technology and solutions both on the water and shoreside.

The new administration has an agenda and priorities focused on deregulation which it hopes will lead to growth. While many aspects of our industry can improve, we don’t need to completely destroy or dismantle some of the great work we have done thus far. I say we can grow AND be green.

To be sustainable, we need to keep looking for a better, greener and more respectable way to minimize our carbon footprint rather than doing away with all regulation. The progress made in greener technology must not end, and it has to get better. The partnerships between industry and the US Coast Guard should be enhanced not dissolved.

Defunding the Coast Guard is not the answer as they are some of our greatest allies working on the water. The working relationship between labor and management must be just that: working. That means we need to balance profitability with sustainable living wages and benefits, work rules and mutual respect. You can be green, pro jobs and pro company.

At Harley Marine, we did not develop our policies, procedures and culture to win awards and accolades. We did it because it was the right thing to do. At Harley Marine, we were not required to build the first Tier 4 powered vessel in the Americas. We did it because it was the right thing to do. There was no financial upside to spending 30 percent more to build LEED Gold office buildings in Seattle and Houston, but we did because it was the right thing to do.

So in summary, with our new president and his administration cutting funds, authority and regulatory compliance both to the Coast Guard and EPA, I ask, no, I beg all of us here to continue on the path of doing the right thing for the environment, our employees, our children and all of the communities we serve now and in the future. KEEP RAISING THAT BAR!

Shelby Withington 1996 – 2017

4 SOUNDINGS

JUNE 2017

SHELBY WITHINGTON This past Memorial Day Weekend, we lost a member of the Harley Marine family. Our former intern and avid outdoorsman Shelby Withington was killed during a climbing excursion near Mazama, Washington after his equipment failed. For those who never had the pleasure of working with Shelby or knowing him, I would like to illustrate the kind of person he was, and for those who knew him and loved him, I would like to share some ways in which to honor his memory.

Take initiative. As an intern, Shelby was an all-star. He came to Harley Marine right after his high school graduation where he took on various tasks from our administration, human resources, and marketing teams. He was never afraid to show initiative or make suggestions to help improve projects. His summer hiking and activity guides were always popular contributions in Soundings and will be missed.

Try new things. Despite personal loss and the challenges of growing up, Shelby lived more in his 20 years of life than most people twice his age. From dance lessons, to starring in school musicals, to experimenting with photography, to extreme ski jumps, to foraging for mushrooms with his father, Shelby lived almost entirely outside of his comfort zone and encouraged his friends and family to do so as well. During a gap year between high school and college, Shelby backpacked through Europe and traveled in Asia by himself where he immersed himself into different cultures and histories, and of course, many scenic hikes.

Say hello. Shelby was a very special person who made a positive impact on most of the people he came into contact with. Unafraid of befriending the new kid, he was my brother’s first friend when they entered high school and by graduation they were best friends. Shelby brought his inner light and lust for life promoting diversity everywhere he traveled—he was never afraid to say hello.

Play outside. Finally, Shelby was fiercely passionate about the outdoors. While most children were learning to read, Shelby was skiing down runs most adults would avoid. Soon his skis seemed to prefer the air to the slopes, and by high school he could land aerial back flips and summersaults. Shelby skied year round and ventured to remote corners or the Pacific Northwest where he would climb up mountains just to ski back down them. While attending Western Washington University, Shelby had begun studying outdoor education because he wanted to help others develop an appreciation for nature.

Speaking from personal experience, I can say that Shelby taught me a lot about being a well-rounded person and trying the different experiences life has to offer. Shelby’s light will still shine on because of how he impacted people and encouraged everyone to shine a little brighter.

I’ll see you outside, Ahbra Franco

Q FACTOR Over the Memorial Day Weekend, the City of New York hosted Fleet Week for the US Navy and US Coast Guard.

Harley Marine New York’s barge, RICHARDSON SEA was working with the Navy vessel to collect the grey water produced by the vessel while in Port.

It was our great pleasure and honor to do our part to help the US Navy and the great men and woman who protect our Freedom.

Quality Systems

By Rosie Chavez, Document Controller Manager

We have Quality Systems that work based upon the codes, regulations and our policies and procedures. This is not something we just say we are doing; it’s something we prove by having third party auditors review our systems.

Our Quality Systems address every element in our business operations to continually improve, minimize risk and apply international management standards to make our own program. The programs are as good as we make them and everyone’s participation is needed. Our systems have a great transparent infrastructure.

As part of our certification for ISO/ISM we must meet certain obligations. These requirements are all spelled out in the ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISM Code, AWO Responsible Carrier Program and OHSAS 18001 quality systems. We have the following items planned / scheduled over the rest of the year.

• Internal ISO/ISM Office Audit – June 2017 • AWO RCP Audit – June 2017 (Office) • Management Review – June 2017 • Vendor Evaluations • Stats reporting

• Customer Surveys • Results of audits • Master’s Reviews • Objectives and Targets • External WHQ ISM Office Audit – June 2017 • External Vessel Audits • External ISO Audit – December 2017 As a reminder, the ISM code requires that the Safety Management System is assessed for effectiveness by the Master of the vessel being certified. At Harley Marine Services the expectation is that a Master’s Review is written on each vessel and each master is responsible for conducting a review.

These reviews are submitted on the Wheelhouse Management System. Some Master’s Reviews result in revisions of a current written policy or the creation of a new policy. As a process, the Master’s Review is one of several methods used to determine the effectiveness and quality of the Safety Management System of Harley Marine Services.

GOING GREEN Significant Impact Score (SIS)

By Deborah Franco, VP, Quality/Risk Management

Our Environmental Management System Program (EMSP) as stated in MOM 11-010, requires us to determine our Significant Impact Score (SIS). We do this in all regions for our Offices, Shops, Tugs and Barges. Our Green Team Leaders in each region are currently reviewing our scores to see if they need any amending.

The SIS process is used to help establish local priorities and hone our focus. Each local Green Team was asked to complete the SIS process to determine their priorities.

Then each Green team, in turn, will inform and influence the company-wide objectives and targets.

What is a SIS and how is it determined? The SIS is based on Environmental aspects and impacts that the Company identifies as risks. Once an environmental aspect and impact has been identified, a numerical calculation is made based on the following: • Frequency of the impact (F) • Impact severity (S) • Impact probability (P) • Legal risk (L) • Severity that effects: • Human health (HH) • Environmental (ER) • Operations (O) • Customer Relations (CR)

The aspect/impact is then calculated for the Significant Impact Score: F x [P + L + S (HH + ER + DO + CR + PR + FI)/6] = SIS. All specific definitions are stated in MOM 11-010.

The SIS is very important to our EMSP. It helps us to identify potential risks and find the best solutions to ensure we are doing all we can to manage our operations, practices, policies and procedures as effectively as possible. We also develop our Objectives and Targets from them.

Working together for a healthier environment, focused on today for a better tomorrow!

Harley Marine New York Vessel Naming Ceremony

By Jay Franco

A boat naming ceremony for the HMNY tugboat Dr. Milton Waner took place on Sunday morning May 7th in New York City’s Battery Park at Pier A. Present were members of the crew of the Dr Milton Waner, team members of the HMNY staff and members of their families. Those attending also included Dr. Milton Waner, his family, and professional colleagues. Doctors from the United States and four other countries joined in the celebration honoring Dr. Waner who has received many accolades for his life-changing and sometimes lifesaving work related to vascular anomalies.

The crew of the Dr. Milton Waner and several HMNY staff members worked many hours to get the boat in excellent condition for this event. Kelly Moore spent several weeks coordinating this operation.

The Statue of Liberty and New York Harbor provided a spectacular background on the day of the event. Kelly

Moore welcomed the guests and provided information about the vessel. Dr. Aaron Fay, a clinical professor at Harvard Medical School and noted eye surgeon, shared a few stories about Dr. Waner and outlined his many accomplishments. Rabbi Marc Angel blessed the vessel and its crew.

HMS sends special thanks to the crew of the Dr Milton Waner, the HMNY team, Erika Stetson, John Walls, Kelly Moore, Jelsi Fruci, and Steve Carlson.

Health and wellness tips for your work and life— presented by TRUEbenefits

A Breath of Fresh Air Spring Allergy Alleviation Springtime allergies are an annual nuisance for many people. Mold growth increases due to rain and many plants begin releasing pollen. Likewise, spring-cleaning activities can stir up dust mites. To reduce your allergies, be sure to take the following steps: •

Wash your bedding every week in hot water to help keep pollen under control.

•

Wash your hair before going to bed, since pollen can accumulate in your hair.

•

Wear an inexpensive painter’s mask and gloves when cleaning, vacuuming or painting to limit dust and chemical inhalation and skin exposure.

•

Vacuum twice a week.

•

Limit the number of throw rugs in your home to reduce dust and mold.

•

Make sure the rugs you have are washable.

•

Change air conditioning and heating air filters often.

Cigarette smoking is a life-threatening habit, decried by every major health organization across the globe. The tobacco epidemic is so pervasive that the World Health Organization (WHO) supports World No Tobacco Day, held annually on May 31. This day is meant to “demonstrate the threats that the tobacco industry poses to the sustainable development of all countries,” according to the WHO website.

The largest threat comes from preventable deaths, with about 6 million people dying each year from tobacco use. Do your part to help curb tobacco consumption with these cessation tips: •

Think of the innumerable benefits to quitting, like saving more money, lowering you cancer risks and feeling healthier overall.

•

Put other things in your mouth instead of cigarettes. Try carrots, pickles, sunflower seeds, apples, raisins or sugarfree gum.

•

Think about when you smoke and why you smoke—keep track of when you light up. Identifying your triggers can help you prepare to quit.

•

If you are using medication to help you quit, make sure to follow the instructions carefully.

Quitting smoking is not easy. Talk to your doctor, friends and family to develop a support network for the journey. The sooner you begin, the sooner you can quit for good.

Planning how your assets will be divided when you pass away can be overwhelming. But knowing your family won’t face the added stress of making sure your retirement funds are designated the way you intend can help.

Here’s what you need to know about designating or changing your beneficiary:

If you don’t name a beneficiary

Generally, your retirement savings will automatically go to your spouse.

Designating a beneficiary is important if you intend on leaving money to your children or another recipient.1

JUNE 2017

When to update your beneficiary Your beneficiary designation typically overrides all other estate documents, including wills.

That’s why it’s so important to update it after a major life change, like the following:

If you’re single and don’t name a beneficiary

Your savings becomes part of your estate, and the courts will decide how it’s distributed. This can be a long, expensive process for your loved ones.

If you name a minor as a beneficiary

You’ll need to designate a custodian to manage the money in your beneficiary’s interest. If you don’t, the state may decide for you.2

• Divorce • Remarriage • Birth of a baby • Death in the family • Any other significant life changes

Name your beneficiary now.

Go to principal.com/beneficiary

1

Naming someone other than a spouse requires the spouse’s signature.

2

A minor is generally a person under 18. The age of a minor can vary by state. Be sure to know the rules regarding naming a custodian and the age of a minor for your applicable state.
