This book was released on 1984 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, ship operators, maritime unions, and governments in the maritime nations of Europe and Asia have made substantial productivity gains through more effective manning of merchant vessels. This has been accomplished through various combinations of shipboard automation, changes in ship operating company and vessel crew organization, and government maritime policies. The need to enhance the competitiveness of the U.S.-flag fleet has raised interest in the productivity improvement that might be realized through innovations in manning practices, and in the costs and consequences. At the request of the Maritime Administration, the Marine Board of the National Research Council established the Committee on Effective Manning which included persons with backgrounds in maritime labor union management, U.S.-flag vessel operations management, and U.S. government oversight of vessel operations and safety. Other expertise on the committee included a labor mediator with experience in maritime labor issues, a scholar whose research focuses on the effect of technology development on the American work force, a social psychologist who was involved in a number of effective manning experimental projects, and an expert in technical aspects of vessel design and operation. Consistent with the policies and programs of the National Research Council, appropriate balance of perspectives was an important consideration in choosing committee members.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfred Thayer Mahan has been quoted as saying "A nation's maritime commerce strength in peacetime is the most telling indication of its overall endurance during war." In today's modern context there still exists within the nation's defense planning the understanding of the need for a maritime capability to support U.S. projected wartime and emergency contingencies. In his February, 1993 Chairman's report, General Colin Powell highlighted the role of sealift capacity to meet the nation's strategic lift needs in addressing the new regional and flexible focus of its worldwide military missions. In his "Annual Report to the President and the Congress" in January 1994, former Secretary of Defense Les Aspin discussed the essential role that mobility forces, including sealift, will play in the nation's effort to respond to regional dangers and opportunities. The question arises, however, whether Mahan's nexus still exists as it pertains to the role of the U.S. merchant marine in the nation's wartime or national emergency sealift effort. The most recent example in which sealift played a significant role in support of the nation's military mission occurred during Desert Storm/Desert Shield. While U.S. sealift needs were basically met, some writers have indicated that about 45% of that sealift capacity came from foreign chartered ships and that there were insufficient U.S. merchant seamen available to meet the manning of the nation's reserve fleet. There were even some foreign ships that were prohibited by their governments from entering the combat zone, thus affecting the effectiveness of the sealift effort. Whether this represents a true picture of U.S. sealift capability or accurately projects the extent to which the U.S. maritime fleet will be needed to meet the nation's strategic requirements is the subject of this paper.
