Maritime Administration (MARAD) through the Maritime Environment and Technical Assistance (META) program, partnered with Energy and Environmental Research Associates (EERA) to design and create the Ship Alternative Fuel and Emissions Toolkit (SAFE-T). SAFE-T is a web-based suite of tools for vessel owner/operators to use when considering actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. SAFE-T provides a user-friendly, web-based suite of tools that will enable shippers to track fuel use and emissions, determine the carbon intensity of different shipping routes, and compare properties of conventional and alternative marine fuels. These tools allow users to evaluate emissions and greenhouse gas reduction strategies for shipping. SAFE-T was built on international standards and methodologies and from a robust blend of literature analysis, evaluation of comparable tools, input from stakeholders, and comprehensive examination of key subject matters experts.

U.S. Maritime Administrator Ann C. Phillips met with Mr. Victor Luna Barahona, Dean of the International Maritime University of Panama (UMIP) to discuss topics of mutual concern including mariner welfare, efficient workforce development and training programs. They also discussed the importance of the constant flow of skilled and readily-available mariners. The meeting included a campus tour, including the Center for Simulators and Applied Technologies for post-Panamax ships and other laboratories that complement the students' competencies.

The work of the U.S. Merchant Mariner is demanding, and many of you have first-hand experience in the fast-paced and rewarding maritime industry. MARAD’s upcoming Mariner Work-Life Balance Symposium takes place April 16, 2024. The symposium will get the conversation going on important topics including career progression, training, early exodus from sailing, and much more.    We need a few seasoned mariners to bring their experiences and strategies for maintaining work-life balance to this critical discussion.    If you’d like to add your voice to the dialogue (as a panelist or a facilitator) please email Christine Stavropoulos at [email protected] by Thursday, February 23.
