ABSTRACT The paper will discuss a pilot program conducted in the Seattle area. The program has shown that Coast Guard monitoring of significant bulk petroleum transfers has a positive effect on the prevention of intentional and accidental discharges. The six month study placed Coast Guard personnel at the site of 90% of the major transfer operations occurring in the Puget Sound area. The monitors observed transfer operations to insure that all applicable regulations were being observed. The pilot program had a beneficial impact on both the Coast Guard and the industry. Coast Guard personnel were able to develop expertise in petroleum transfer techniques and related environmental concerns involving the Coast Guard. The resulting degree of professionalism favorably affected other areas of Coast Guard involvement in waterfront activities and provided a closer relationship with industry and a mutual appreciation of responsibilities. A marked decline in unknown source discharges indicated that monitoring was also effective in educating owners and operators of responsibilities in reporting discharges under the FW PCA, as amended. The major benefit to industry was the assurance that its personnel were observing proper transfer procedures. In addition, training needs were more easily established, and the effectiveness of company training programs evaluated. Finally, employee morale improved with the realization of the importance and responsibility of their jobs. The paper discusses the establishment of a monitoring program nationwide. Insights gained in the Seattle effort will be related to the implementation of an effective discharge prevention program with a minimal burden on industry.

Objective: To provide ‘in use’ clinical data to support exudate management in patients with moderately to highly exuding wounds with bordered superabsorbent wound dressing with a silicone adhesive interface. Method: This study was an open-labelled non-comparative study. Patients included in the study were selected by the clinical investigator(s) according to whether the patient required a dressing for the management of moderately to highly exuding wounds. Results: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical objective in relation to exudate handling (moderate to high) with a superabsorbent silicone border dressing (Zetuvit Plus Silicone Border; SAP silicone border dressing; designated RespoSorb Silicone Border in some countries). The SAP border dressing had met the clinical objectives relating to exudate management, affirmed by the health professionals with a yes response in 94% of cases. Additionally, the health professionals rated the handling of exudate as excellent/good (78%) and most (80%) reported that they would use the SAP silicone border dressing again. Allied to this was the fact that the SAP silicone border dressing improved the wound edge and periwound skin conditions (29% and 36% of patients, respectively). Regarding dressing retention, the SAP silicone border dressing retained its position in 72% of patients. For wear time, the largest proportion of dressing changes, both pre-study and during the evaluation period, was every third day (45% and 44%, respectively). But there was a shift to extended wear time with use of the SAP silicone border dressing with 72% of patients' dressing changes being every third day or longer. Conclusion: The SAP silicone border dressing was successful in managing wound exudate in moderately to highly exuding wounds and consequently this had a beneficial impact on the wound edge and periwound skin. Overall, there was a positive effect on wound bed preparation and in turn the healing response was progressive. This study has shown that the SAP silicone border dressing successfully controlled exudate and provided positive benefits when used in the treatment of patients with moderately to highly exuding wounds.

Existing preventive measures have not been entirely efficient. Mainly they are aimed at solving social and economic issues, which demands both time and money. Considering this, it is necessary to find and sustain additional effective measures, based on patterns of development of infectious diseases, which could be more cost-effective. One of such approaches could be based on the theory of self-regulation of parasitic systems, which directs epidemiologists to conducting preventive measures before the rise of the number of cases to prevent increase in the agents virulence. Yet this theory does not provide the optimum time for preventive measures. Based on the main statements of the theory of self-regulation of parasitic systems and analysis of annual and/or long-term cyclicity, the article provides substantiation of the theory that the lowest level of incidence is the weakest period in its development. Epidemiological experiments, using bacterial dysentery as an example, showed that preventive administration of polyvalent dysenteric bacteriophage in risk groups (children going to preschool institutions) during two months of the lowest incidence level of the disease appeared to be effective. The positive effect took place in the stages of cyclic increase and decrease of long-term trends. The effect appeared in the groups of children and population in general with most marked decline in disease occurrence in its seasonal peak. The hypothesis that the lowest incidence level is directly related to seasonal climbs of the disease was proved by our earlier studies when we investigated influence of technogenic pollution of the environment on annual incidence rate of more than ten most common infectious diseases with different ways of transmission. Thus, the lowest incidence level of infectious diseases defines their future growth and/or decline, and, therefore, it can be used to conduct preventive measures.

The Coast Guard currently determines when a diesel engine should be overhauled based on the results of the Diesel Engine Monitoring Program, Navy Oil Analysis Program, Full Power Trials, and especially engine operating hours. In an effort to reduce costs, the Coast Guard is considering shifting their preventative maintenance to a condition-based system to reduce labor and downtime. To accomplish this goal, an analysis of the criteria used to indicate when a diesel engine should be overhauled must be performed. Before any statistical analysis can be conducted, an extensive amount of data must be collected on main diesel engines. This paper addresses the problem of creating a computer database to collect engine failure data for the USCG. We have conducted a review of several current shipboard reliability databases along with a look at modern developments in this area. This knowledge was used in the creation of a fully functional USCG prototype database using Microsoft Access 95 software called DEREL (Diesel Engine RELiability database). The DEREL database is implementable immediately in order to speed the initiation of data collection for future uses.

ABSTRACT Durings its journey from a production facility to a refinery, the most probable time for oil to enter the water is during vessel cargo-transfer operations. This paper describes the origins, implementation, and effects of the U.S. Coast Guard's operational and regulatory program designed to prevent oil transfer-related discharges. Statistical data from the USCG Pollution Incident Reporting System (PIRS) is used to measure the effectiveness of these actions. A review is presented of the results of an on-scene transfer monitoring program conducted in 1972 in Seattle, Washington. Coast Guard pollution prevention regulations (33 CFR 154-156) were designated to prevent the occurrence of discharges during transfer operations. An analysis of the effectiveness of these regulations and the present nationwide transfer operations monitoring program is presented. The paper concludes that the Coast Guard preventive program has had a measurable effect on the incidence of transfer-related pollution incidents.

On 12 April 2013, the Makah Tribal Council Chairman and the District Commander of the 13th Coast Guard District (D13) signed into effect the “Memorandum of Agreement between the United States Coast Guard and the Makah Indian Tribe Regarding Interoperability and Coordination”. The purpose of this “Makah-USCG MOA” is to establish terms by which the two parties will coordinate and collaborate in the fulfillment of their mutual trust responsibility. The MOA's focus is to enhance consultation, improve leveraging of resources within each party's authorities, and improve collective all-hazards prevention and response posture in the Makah Treaty Area. Such an agreement between a federal agency and an Indian tribe is authorized by Executive Order 13175 - Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, signed in 2000 and is consistent with the 2011 Department of Homeland Security Tribal Consultation Policy. This groundbreaking document represents a 20 year relationship between key members of the Makah Tribe and the oil spill response members of CG D13 and Sector Puget Sound, and the trust developed over that period while working together to mutually support each party's oil spill prevention, preparedness and response readiness, as well as the desire to help and support each other by harmonizing efforts. With recent legislation such as the 2010 Coast Guard Authorization act, authorizing resources to engage tribes into training, exercises and other spill response preparedness activities particularly in the Northwest, it became clear there was a need to memorialize the strong supportive working relationship between the Makah and the CG, and provide some structure to our planning and development efforts. The MOA lays out a minimum of semi-annual meetings during which the two parties discuss overarching items of mutual interest and determine a work list of concrete, achievable goals to complete within the next 6 month period. An initial work list of common interest issues and responsibilities are outlined in the MOA, and fall into three general categories: Prevention; Preparedness and Response. The MOA also addresses the importance of Communication with the goal of enhancing mutual situational awareness via improved communication protocols between the Coast Guard and the Makah Tribe.

ABSTRACT In recognition of the value of the marine resources throughout Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca and its approaches along the Washington coast and the outer coast of British Columbia, several recent international collaborations have been undertaken which provide important information regarding vessel tracking through these sensitive areas. The first endeavor, undertaken by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS), involves the utilization of a desktop Geographic Information System (GIS) to analyze and display vessel track data collected by the Canadian Coast Guard from their radar-based Cooperative Vessel Traffic Management System (CVTMS) located at Tofino on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The OCNMS system has allowed Sanctuary managers to verify compliance by mariners with guidance regarding the Area To Be Avoided (ATBA) within and proximal to the OCNMS. A second undertaking, enacted by an international coalition of marine shipping industry interests, involves the near real-time tracking of tugboat assets within the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Puget Sound, and the Strait of Georgia. The International Tug of Opportunity System (ITOS) involves the use of a Differential Geographic Positioning System (DGPS) and radio modem-based Automated Information System (AIS) whereby the positions of participating tugboats are tracked in near real-time, displayed on an Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS), and integrated with a database containing critical information about tugboat capabilities. ITOS watchstanders can identify the nearest available participating resources to any vessel requiring assistance and provide the U.S. or Canadian Coast Guard or the vessel master with time-critical emergency contact information.
