6/6 Without immediate action, the entire defense merchant marine model will collapse. The moral contract between the State and its civilian mariners is broken. Maritime security begins with the dignity of those on the front lines.

6/6 Sans une réaction immédiate, c'est tout le modèle de la marine marchande de défense qui s'effondre. Le contrat moral entre l'État et ses marins civils est rompu. La sécurité maritime commence par la dignité de ceux qui sont en première ligne.

The #ColumbiaEagleMutiny was #ThisDayInHistory in 1970. Two #MerchantMarine sailors hijacked a former #VictoryShip carrying #napalm for use in the #VietnamWar, risking their lives to save others. War exists because most people lack the courage to put the weapons aside and say no.

Subcommittee approves HB 777 substitute tying state contracts to Merchant Marine Act compliance The subcommittee voted 9–0 to report HB 777 with a substitute that retains a Virginia Public Procurement Act provision requiring state contracts for certain goods to include provisions directing contractors to comply with applicable Merchant Marine Act requirements regarding use of privately owned commercial vessels.

Virginia's HB 777 is set to boost U.S.-flag cargo and strengthen compliance with the Merchant Marine Act, promising big benefits for the Port of Virginia!

image from https://poulwebb.blogspot.com/2021/01/fortune-magazine-part-3.html ‘Ralston Crawford (1906-1978) was born in St. Catherines, Ontario. He studied art beginning in 1927 in California at the Otis Art Institute. After working at the Walt Disney Studio, he returned to the eastern U.S. for further study at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and at the Barnes Foundation, where he was exposed to the art of Picasso and Matisse. In 1934, he had his first one-man showing at the Maryland Institute college of Art. Crawford was best known for his abstract representations of urban life and industry. His early work placed him with Precisionist artists like Niles Spencer and Charles Sheeler.’ - https://poulwebb.blogspot.com/2021/01/fortune-magazine-part-4.html

I feel it is bad news when the Port of Seattle webcam looks like this.

Short sea, and inland shipping.
Maritime is the greenest form of transportation
