Arctic Directory March 2016: 78 Foss Maritime vessels honored for excellence

Seventy-eight Foss Maritime and subsidiary companies’ tugs and tank barges have been recognized by a major maritime organization for their environmental safety records. The Arthur Foss, the Drew Foss, and the Wedell Foss are just a few of the many Foss Maritime vessels that have been free of environmental mishaps for more than 20 years. Foss vessels have a combined 858 years without an incident.

The Chamber of Shipping of America announced the 2015 Environmental Achievement Awards honoring the Seattle-based company’s work on Nov. 4 in Washington, D.C. Foss and its sister companies have 38 vessels with 10 or more years without an environmental incident, with 12 of those vessels achieving 20-plus years of environmental excellence.

“We’re honored by the award,” said Paul Stevens, president and CEO. “Our corporate culture at Foss is to have the highest safety standards and care for the environment. Our customers demand this care and vigilance. Having 78 vessels recognized for environmental merit truly underscores our dedication.”

The awards are open to all owners and operators of vessels that operate on oceans or inland waterways.

“These awards celebrate the dedication to environmental excellence of our seafarers and the company personnel shore-side who operate our vessels to the highest standards,” said Kathy J. Metcalf, president of CSA, praising the award recipients for their commitment to serving as stewards of the environment.
