Good afternoon,

 I hope this message finds every one of you doing well and staying safe.

We have not had a social meeting since 2014! Therefore,  I am reaching out today to see if any of you are interested in getting together this year. Pacific Marine Expo has moved to an earlier date in November and will not include Saturday this year. Pacific Marine Expo | Commercial Marine Trade Show

 I propose meeting on Thursday November 9th in the afternoon but could easily be swayed to the 8th or 10th.

 If you have any interest in attending an event, I would appreciate hearing from you by the end of this week (8/11/23).

Simply let me know your preferred date and how many people would be attending from your team. If we have more than a dozen people,  I’ll get something organized.

Truly looking forward to hearing from you all!

 

Thank you,

Johanna

Johanna,

I would like to add Tim Larose to the group. Tim is the new Port Engineer for Foss in NorCal.

 

I plan on being there if I’m in town.

Hey, Johanna,

 

I’ll make it if I can. No telling what happens between now and then, and the date doesn’t matter to me. Our Port Engineer, Marty Wiemann has lost touch with the group. It may be an email thing. Can you please check and add martin.wiemann@tidewater That may solve the problem.

 

Also, we have a new Port Engineer here. Peter Hagedorn. I would like to nominate him for membership as well.

 

I hope all is well with you.

 

Cheers,

All,

Appreciate all the responses and interest. We are around 20 people attending. 

Date will be November 9th. Throwing out the idea of a half day of meeting, leaving the other half to attend the Expo. 

Do you have any topics of interest you would like to discuss or learn more about? 

Lastly, I am now able to add new members to the group, please forward your candidates with complete email addresses. 
Most of the requests to add members, I previously received were entered today. New members will be receiving a notification to join, it is not spam.

Thank you,
Johanna

Joanna,

Thanks for doing this, it about time we did this again. We won’t get much done in half a day but it’s a start.  If we need a space, we can look into getting something at our place on Alaskan Way but that will take some planning.  Please add Tim LaRose (Foss NorCal PE) and Colette Lowe (Foss SoCal- Eng Manager) along with Sergiy Bondarenko (Saltchuk Marine Technical Director) to the new members list. Also add Steve Britton (Foss Director of Engineering) who has taken Tim Stewarts place at Foss.

As info- Tim Stewart and Steve Caldwell have retired and are likely not going to participate any longer. John Barrett has recently passed so as a founding member we should recognize him this time around.

 

Topics:

  • Dealing with Engine OEM’s supply chain (excuses) and the lack of parts available for common engines, lead times and etc.
  • New Engine Tech and Electrification issues-Shore Side infrastructure- Batteries –L-Drives.-Where are we headed?
  • ASD’s Support and repair- All OEM’s
  • Next Generation of Port Engineers, Engineers, Marine Mechanics -Where they going to come from?

Hi Joanna,

 

Signet doesn’t get out your way that often, but we appreciate the involvement from the Gulf, and we keep pretending we are West Coasters. Can we add Thanh Vo (GM-engineering at Signet), in copy, to the group as well? Great to hear from everyone, it was quiet here for a while. Always at your disposal if we can ever help anyone in the group.

 

Echoing all the same topics as Jerry Allen, we are asking ourselves much of the same. If you guys figure it all out in the meeting, please don’t keep it a secret!

  

Best regards, Tim
