SIR,

.I would like to make you aware ..the world largest family owned petroleum carrier has units anchored in ports of the USA. Some mariners have not been paid since before end of year…and are on anchored units with the United States Coast Guard threatening severe punishment for abandoning their vessel. There is an amendment says you cannot be imprisoned without a charge. as a former chief engineer in the Merchant Marines..over 7000 days at sea, I ask you to investigate, and help us get them sailors home to families that have not been paid since last year. Bouchard Transportation Co. melville NY. I suggest a goal of replacing Morty Bouchard with Robert "Bobby" Bouchard to re establish credit lines. In your research please go back to buzzard bay spill…and thru explosion in Port Aransas/ while leaving port in corpus christi. Observe subsequent jury tampering, and jacking with a whistle blower…then observe an American Bureau of Shipping changing their ruling that indebted bouchard to Bollinger Shipyards. I was there in the early 90's when Morty did a hostile take over…and Morty is a total shame not only to Bouchard Transportation employess, Morty is a shame to the Bouchard name. Right now, we need US Merchant Mariners Paid, and Relieved.

Sir…

ThankYou.

We awaken, today Wednesday, March 4, 2020, and NOTHING has changed.

In spite of a myriad of confusing and vague United States Coast Guard Captain of the Port Orders, which Bouchard Transportation ignores, or convinces the author, Capt J Twomey, USCG, to extend, modify or otherwise nullify, the crisis becomes more critical every day.

These innocent American Seafarers have been held hostage, without pay now, since January 1, 2020, for SIXTY-SIX DAYS!!!

Think about the financial impact that crisis would have on you. Think of the impact on you loved ones. The breadwinner hasn't been paid in over two months, and is held hostage, unable to find alternative work.

I know, some say it couldn’t happen, because we are “Union”, but ask yourself this.

What would stop a Captain of the Port issuing similar orders to a vessel you were on, and what legal power would your Union have to stop it.

I am a proud member and pensioner, from the largest Licensed Deck Officer Union in the United States.

Unions can’t violate legal orders, anymore, than innocent Seafarers can.

This must be stopped today.

The United States Coast Guard must stop misusing or abusing their power, and facilitating an unscrupulous Shipowner, Morton S. Bouchard, and bring our fellow Shipmates home paid TODAY.

Show some moral backbone, United States Coast Guard, and get this hostage situation resolved today.

Baker

did we get a notable for Bouchard USMM sailors?
