DOUGLAS B. STEVENSON, ESQ. DEPARTS SCI AFTER 29 YEARS home and abroad, such as:
STOWAWAYS
In the past, port states often imposed significant fines
or costs on shipowners who landed stowaways in their
ports. This, however, caused problems like the 1992 case
when a crew of Ukrainian seafarers murdered a group
of African stowaways because they were afraid of the
heavy fines they would face for landing stowaways in
Europe. Also at that time, the United States required
shipowners to feed and lodge stowaways under guard
throughout the stowaways’ immigration process –
which could take months and cost hundreds and
thousands of dollars. Some European countries had
similar requirements. SCI drove a revision of US
immigration law to limit shipowners’ obligations to
feed and house stowaways to two weeks, thereby
reducing the incentive to find other ways to deal with
stowaways. This legislative change helped seafarers,
shipowners, and stowaways. We also collaborated
with the Coast Guard in IMO to develop
international guidelines for shipowners on humane
practices for handling stowaway cases.

PORT NEWARK IN 2019
SCI’s International Seafarers’ Center at Port Newark is a hub for ship visiting, The
Annual Food Truck Festival was held on June 25th. An assortment of food was
enjoyed by approximately 150 local workers from the port.
Christmas at Sea also hosted a preseason happy holiday event on June 25 to
commemorate the United Nations’ observance of the Day of the Seafarer. It was
a lovely gathering rich with Christmas music, festive eggnog, and sugar cookies.
Volunteer revelers prepared packages and personalized Christmas cards for the
seafarers we visit.
SCI’s annual Port Packing Day was held on November 1, 2019. Six teams from
various companies packed 1,672 ditty bags with knits, personalized Christmas cards,
toiletries and nonperishable treats. SCI thanks the participating teams:
• USMX – US Maritime Alliance, Ltd
• WDIT – Council on Port Performance Workforce
Development Implementation Team
• Heidmar
• Maher Terminals
• Port Authority of New York & New Jersey
• East Coast Warehouse
With the rising number of seafarers transported from year to year, an additional part-
time driver was hired at Port Newark to help offset the growing need. Additionally,
the International Transportation Federation granted SCI a new Ford Transit
12-passenger van, replacing our old van, and supporting our mission to provide free,
safe, and reliable transportation to seafarers. In 2019, SCI transported 14,196 seafarers

SCI’S CENTER FOR SEAFARERS’
RIGHTS EVOLVING TO MEET THE
NEEDS OF MARINERS
As Douglas B. Stevenson, Esq., the Director of CSR since 1990, stepped
down from his role at the end of June 2019, the Center for Seafarers’
Rights (CSR) became the Center for Mariner Advocacy (CMA), to
reflect the wider scope of activity encompassed by this program.
Seafarers’ rights remain high on SCI’s agenda, including the wellbeing
of mariners on the inland waterways system, and the new title better
captures this. In addition to making regular ship visits, the new CMA
Director will continue the work started by Doug: conducting research,
collaborating with chaplains worldwide, investigating seafarer complaints,
interacting with international governing authorities and corporate
maritime executives, and providing thought leadership to enhance
the quality of life for mariners in Port Newark, on America’s inland
waterways, and around the world.
CMA, formerly CSR, is a world leader in advocacy for merchant mariners,
providing professional legal services, training, and advocacy for seafarers
and those who serve them around the globe. CMA’s roots date back
to SCI’s inception in the 1800s. When it was established in 1982, CSR’s
mission was primarily to uphold the rights of seafarers who at that time
often suffered unfair treatment at the hands of shipowners, and could be
subject to poor conditions aboard ship.
Thankfully, through SCI and others’ efforts over the years, such problems
have diminished, although the Center still sees its fair share of cases
involving pay disputes, denial of medical care, shore leave restrictions
and other work-related disputes. Over the years, however, the Center’s
focus expanded to include broader seafarer well-being issues such as
maritime security, physical and mental health, and the effects of potentially
traumatic events such as piracy attacks on crews.
As SCI looks to the future, CSR — and now CMA’s — legacy of upholding
seafarer rights is a fitting foundation upon which to build a rich program of
support for mariners at sea and on America’s inland waterways.A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 9 15

UPDATE: SCI’S RELATIONSHIP WITH MARITIME ACADEMIES CONTINUES
SCI’s 2018-2023 strategic plan prioritizes outreach to cadets at U.S. merchant marine
academies, beginning with two academies in the greater New York area, SUNY
Maritime, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, NY.
In 2019, SCI Senior River Chaplain Kempton Baldridge once again served as chaplain
in residence at the USMMA Kings Point, building on the foundations he laid during
his first stint in this role in 2018. For 18 days, he helped incoming plebe candidates
transition from home life to maritime college during “Indoc,” the intensive orientation
aimed at teaching midshipmen to cope with stress: a period quite unlike any these
young students had faced before or will encounter again.
Living and working amongst the young maritime leaders of tomorrow, Chaplain
Baldridge was once again impressed by their professionalism and mutual respect, and
encouraged by the chance to minister to them. By forging these connections with
young mariners, SCI hopes they will view us as a resource and source of support
throughout their entire maritime careers.A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 1 9 17
