ILWU Marine Clerks Local 52 present first-ever safety award at the PMA ILWU Annual Safety Banquet
Foss Maritime has been recognized by the ILWU Marine Clerks Local 52 for zero injuries at Terminal 5 between March 2015 and February 2016. The first-ever Safety Award given by ILWU was presented to Foss and partners Shell and Jones Stevedoring at the ILWU’s Annual Safety Banquet held in Sea-Tac, Wash. yesterday.
Rob Bohlman, vice president of Jones Stevedoring, said, “From the first day at Terminal 5, Foss, Shell and Jones worked hard to establish a safety culture that went above and beyond the normal safety practices on the waterfront. And it goes without saying that without the efforts of the ILWU, and the support of Shell, none of this would have been possible.”Max Vekich, ILWU Local 52 LRC
Max Vekich of the ILWU Local 52 Labor Relations Committee in a letter announcing the award said, “Local 52 members embrace being part of Foss’ Always Safe, Always Ready culture.”
