Given the importance of protecting the environment today, it’s not surprising that
many companies have emerged to fill this niche. Environmental remediation is not
new. We’ve seen the ecological and environmental impacts from the Exxon Valdez,
Cosco Busan, Amoco Cadiz, and most recently, the Shen Neng I (pictured above).

By the way, did you know Maine Maritime Academy has a number of new positions.
But back to environmental response, it's a big business. Oil spill contractors,
hazardous waste disposal contractors, groundwater contamination consultants,
asbestos abatement and encapsulation contractors, and asbestos air monitoring
technicians have grown in numbers. Petroleum spills and chemical spills involving
substances like mercury, arsenic, barium, chromium, pesticides, DDT and
groundwater contaminants affect public safety. See incident reporting requirements .

In the past several decades, many important laws emerged to protect the
environment and ecosystems such as RCRA, CERCLA, Oil Pollution Act of 1990,
Clean Water Act, NESHAPS, Clean Air Act, the two hour rule and other legislation.
Below, we feature a few for work in the water and oil pollution control industry.

Oil Spill Response
Oil spill response is a vital role for land
based contractors and marine contractors.
When the Cosco Busan, pictured above and
to the right after striking a bridge leg, an
immediate concern was release of fuel oil.

Sailing Instructors Please don't write to
to point out that a sailing instructor is
not a tugboat job. We know from some
of your comments that we have a
couple of khaki short-docksider sailors
waiting for a chance to shift gears away
from the tugboat life. The Offshore

Do you think it's a simple matter to
sink a 900 plus foot aircraft carrier
on an even keel after ensuring that
all environmental toxins and
hazardous substances have been
removed? It isn't. Resolve Marine
was one of the companies involved
in the operation that placed the
retired USS Oriskany off the Florida
Coast to serve as an artificial reef
for divers and sport fisherman.
Resolve is regularly seeking
divers, deck crew and mechanical
personnel for their operations.

By the way... for anyone who DOES think that
sinking a ship on an even keel is a simple
task, watch the video of the sinking of the SS
Texas Clipper. The former training ship of
Texas A & M University had started her life
as the U.S.S. Queens. Her career included
transporting troops to the Battle of Iwo Jima
(right). After the war, she sailed for American
Export Lines as the SS Excambion.

As you'll see in the video, the ship doesn't sink on an even keel. The video can be
viewed at Analyzing Marine Accidents. The importance of the even keel sinking
was to attract divers. A ship on its side would draw less divers and tourists. One of
the most amazing scenes in the video is seawater pours into the open trunk of the
forward hold like Niagara Falls as the ship rolls on her side.

The 1944 Alfred Hitchcock
movie Lifeboat was about
an odd assortment of
passengers adrift on the
ocean after their ship is
sunk by a U-Boat. The
lifeboat shown was a
traditional open type. It was
exposed to the elements,
unpowered and lowered the
old fashioned way, by cables
through davits. Lifeboat
design has come a long way
since then. Click Lifeboat &

an opening for lifeboat
technician.

the right-of-way.
b. The downbound vessel

Shaft Alley... that tranquil
corridor away from the heat and
noise of the machinery spaces.
A place where you could clear
your head, sneak a smoke or
steal a few moments of quiet.
Hah! When.... in 1983?
Not today!
But if you're technically
inclined, and appreciate the
way in which such large shaft
sections must be coupled
together (or even if you're not
but are willing to work and
learn) check out shipyard
opportunities.

Keep in mind that shipyard
opportunities are going to be
different from yard to yard,
depending on the size. A small
yard is not going to take anyone
in off the street as a surrogate
child and teach them to
become a machinist or a
welder.
But some of the larger yards
that are inclined to support the
local work force will go the extra
yard to provide apprenticeships
and training programs to entry
level applicants off the street or
out of high school. A person
could start off as a laborer or
utility worker and study at night
to get qualified in technical
areas. And keep in mind that
we feature only a small handful
of yards here... there are many
yards out there. Good luck!

Working as a welder is not an

The importance of environmental jobs is apparent in recent headlines. When the container ship
Cosco Busan hit the tower of the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge, some 50,000 gallons of
fuel oil were released onto San Francisco Bay. The recent casualty of the Deepwater Horizon
in the Gulf is proof that marine ecosystems are delicate and fragile, and closely intertwined
with fisheries and tourism industries. In April of 2010, the coal carrier Shen Neng I, pictured
below, ran aground on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
