Harley Marine ServicesSafe, Responsible, Reliable, EfficientSeptember 2013NEWS FROM DUTCH HARBORThe Gyrfalcon’s Captain is often approached by Trident Seafood’s executive management in Akutan totransport key managers or key technicians, like the Caterpillar mechanics when weather does not allowairplanes to fly between the two islands. We recently received and approved a request to transport aretired U. S. Army chaplain and his wife.Colonel Mike Carkhuff (U.S. Army, Retired) and his wife, Carole, were visiting the Trident Seafoods, Inc.fishery production facilities in Akutan, Alaska, which neighbors Unalaska Island, where the Gyrfalcon isbased. They are close friends to the Trident executives in Seattle and visit Akutan at their request andconduct services in the local church.The flying weather between Akutan and Dutch Harbor was poor on August 13 so Captain Iszler wasapproached by Dave Abbassian, the manager of the Trident facility, to request they transport them to DutchHarbor to meet their plane back to Anchorage and then home. We readily agreed and the below emailsums up their trip aboard the Gyrfalcon.* * *Jim,Thanks for the encouraging note. We certainly were blessed when Dave Abbasianconnected us with Capt. Chris Iszler. We just missed you in Dutch. Gyrfalcon FirstMate Paul must have been there to meet you when he also greeted us as we weredeparting for Anchorage.Yes! Captain Iszler and crew took excellent care of us. We asked many questions andreceived thorough answers. All the crewmembers were courteous and patient withus. In a six-hour crossing, we got to know several of the crew. Chris and his men areoutstanding representatives of your company and of your Trident relationship.We are coming back for a Christmas visit with our Fox family at Safe Harbor Church,Akutan. We will arrive in Dutch 1230 20 Dec and leave Dutch 3 Jan toAnchorage. We hope to sail to and from Akutan via either a Trident freighter, orpossibly aboard the Gyrfalcon.

Harley Marine ServicesA Full Service Marine Transportation CompanySeptember 2013SAFTEY INCENTIVE PROGRAMSIP Tip #1By: Andrew Butterfield, Olympic Tug & BargePainting Over Non-SkidPainting over non-skid is productive, but it can also cause a very dangerouswalking area. When painting over non-skid paint, it is important to always laynew non-skid down during your project. If no new non-skid is laid, the area, when wet, can become veryslick. This can cause a very serious accident.SIP Tip #2By: Joe Hoat, Olympic Tug & BargeWe are responsible for not only our own safety, but also that of our fellow crewmembers. If you see ashipmate in a hazardous situation, bring it to his attention. If you see a mechanical or other physical issuethat you are uncomfortable with, bring it to the attention of the captain or the mate. Stop the evolution ifnecessary. Extra time taken to do a thing safely is nothing compared with the potential time lost due toinjury or incident.It is important to create an atmosphere onboard where all crewmembers, no matter experience level, feelempowered to ask questions, say slow down, or even stop without fear of consequence. Out here on theseboats, there are few small injuries. Most require extensive time on the beach. By watching our crewmates’backs and speaking up, we all help to create a safer vessel.SIP CONTEST WINNERS- - - - - - - - - - -We have winners in two of our ports, Seattle - Joe Hoats and Portland - Andrew Butterfield.But, there are still opportunities to win!

Harley Marine ServicesSafe, Responsible, Reliable, EfficientSeptember 2013SAFTEY INCENTIVE PROGRAMSIP Article #1By: Andrew ButterfieldFood HandlingTo help avoid cross-contamination, always wash your hands when coming intocontact with food. Wash your hands and utensils after handling raw meat, fish, orpoultry. Keep perishable foods refrigerated or frozen until they are used. Frozen items should be thawed in therefrigerator, under cold running water or in a microwave. Marinate food in the refrigerator. Try to maintain atemperature in your refrigerator below 40°F. Keep a thermometer in the refrigerator and check it often. Buyfoods with the longest period to the expiration date. Don't buy food items if the packaging is damaged. Throwaway foods that don’t look and smell fresh. A change in the odor or appearance of foods is often a sign ofspoilage. Be sure cutting boards and knives are thoroughly scrubbed and washed with soapy water after eachuse. These items can easily transfer disease-causing bacteria from raw meats and poultry to vegetables, fruit orcooked meat. Use different cutting boards for raw and ready-to-eat foods. These are just a few ideas to keep inmind while preparing food. Food handling is a very important part of our day-to-day operations aboard ourvessels. These guidelines are ways to keep our crews safe and free of sickness and illness.SIP Article #2By: Joe HoatsAfter having done the Port Alice run a couple times recently, I came to appreciate the increased hazardsassociated with product transfers at that mill. I had been aware of the safety issues of the mill in the past butwith increased awareness through continuous training and emphasis on safety, I was able to see greaterdiligence and preparation were necessary when alongside at Port Alice Mill.Port Alice Mill produces “specialty cellulose” products. I am not certain what they produce but I know they usequite a few chemicals in the process that are kept in tanks at various locations on site. Hydrogen dioxide,chlorine, ammonia are the main hazards that were pointed out by the mill safety representative.The mill is an aging facility where such spills are not common but not unheard of. In the event of a spill, ageneral alarm sounds at the plant and the boat crew is to muster with the dock crew where SCBA or full-facerespirators are available. After mustering, the vessel crew evacuates the site with the dock crew using golf carts.The safety issues paramount to the vessel crew is from the initial alarm sounding until the time the crew is on thedock and evacuation begins in earnest. Currently, most vessels have two SCBA’s as well as half face respirators(either personal or vessel common). Crew needs to ensure that proper cartridges designed to handle possiblechemical sources found at the mill, namely chlorine and ammonia. The issue with half face respirators is thatthey do not offer protection for the eyes. Chlorine, ammonia, and hydrogen dioxide all affect the eyes. Exposureto these gases without proper PPE, be it chemical goggles, full face respirator, or SCBA’s will lead to, at least,temporarily impaired sight making an evacuation difficult. Half face respirators themselves are insufficient forescape if these gases are present. Other methods must be researched and instituted.The other safety issue is communication between the dock, tug, and barge in case of a chemical relief. Watchesshould be maintained on the tug throughout the duration of the transfer so that evacuation notification is aseffective and efficient as possible.The possible hazards at Port Alice are unique for our operations. Because of our continuous training, greateremphasis on safety, and communication with management, we are equipped to recognize and respondappropriately to developing safety issues.9

Harley Marine ServicesA Full Service Marine Transportation CompanySeptember 2013SAFTEY INCENTIVE PROGRAM2 nd Annual SIP WinnerTimothy PicouThis year, Harley Marine Services was proud to announce Timothy Picou as theyearly SIP Winner. Over the past year, Timmy, as you all may know has been agreat supporter of our Safety Incentive Program.

They also had a grand time at the Dixie Stampede Dinner Show and enjoyed acruise on a paddle wheel boat at the Main Street Cruise Lake.Letter from Timothy:To All Employees of Harley Marine,I want to recommend that each and every one of you get involved in theSafety Incentive Program. It is as easy as writing safety related articles,tips and JSA’s that are pertinent to our job, participating in safetymeetings and keeping safety on the job on your mind at all times. I askthat you do this, not just to win an all-paid vacation like I did, butbecause it helps other people become more knowledgeable, productive andsafe while doing your job for our company. We are the company’srepresentatives to our customers and vendors – safety is important to notonly our company but everyone involved.It just takes a little time to write an article or get involved with the SafetyIncentive Program. The most important thing I learned over the past yearwith everything I researched was that safety begins with you. You are the firstperson who should watch out for your well-being and you should never take achance to save time, you may hurt yourself or another co-worker. Remember,Harley Marine wants you to go home the same way you came to work, in onepiece. So, take tiem to reflect on your job and take time to be safe.
