The fight against COVID-19 involves nearly every aspect of the maritime industry: stranded mariners aboard ships at sea, including American seafarers with the Military Sealift Command; plunging ferry ridership and vessel transit cutbacks; and a new world of protocols for just about anyone heading onto any commercial vessel. But the industry is pushing through, from efforts to keep cargo moving at the Port of New Orleans and other key points, to the Coast Guard changing course to handle aspects of Subchapter M compliance remotely. In its August issue, Professional Mariner also examines recent advances in marine communication and tracks the latest in casualty news from across the U.S. and Canada.

Vinik answers call, clears hurdles with seasoned offshore fleet
Daunting is a good word to describe the process of getting some older tugboats into compliance with Subchapter M, said Capt. Mike Vinik, a 2003 SUNY Maritime graduate and owner of Vinik Marine, a New Jersey-based towing company founded in 2005.

Marine radio tech gets friendlier, more capable in cellular age
For more than a century, marine radio has been a boon to all who work on the water, providing first for improved safety and, over time, becoming an indispensable operational tool.
