Arctic Directory 2016: Foss Maritime honored for safety performance 

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, Washington.

“We are extremely honored by this award,” said Paul Stevens, CEO and president of Foss. “It’s a real credit to the hard work of our dedicated Foss employees and also to our stevedore partner Jones Stevedoring, and to the trust of our customer, Shell.”

Terminal 5 is the second largest terminal in Seattle, Washington, and offers a variety of equipment and services to support intermodal, break bulk and project cargoes. It is a unique location as it can be accessed by deep sea vessels, by barge, by rail and by truck. By the close of 2015 Foss had accumulated about 168,000 people hours at Terminal 5, without an injury.
