Guardians,
I was pleased on Wednesday night to participate in the Chamber of Shipping of America (CSA) Environmental Achievement Awards. The CSA represents United States Flag shipping companies. These awards are given to vessels who operate for two years or more without a discharge violation.
I noted in my remarks that it is very difficult to create "non events" or to measure what doesn't happen. In this case, CSA has been able to measure and recognize the environmental stewardship of the U.S. Flag fleet. We thank CSA for this initiative and our long standing partner the President and CEO, Joe Cox.
Well done CSA and well done to those award winners (see the attached listing)
