| New jobs in place under Faststream agreement |
| Unique base developing quickly with new seagoing opportunities for AMO officers |
|
The number of new jobs directly or indirectly generated through the pioneering agreement between American Maritime Officers and Faststream Recruitment Inc., signed in December 2007, is fast approaching 40, and more opportunities through Faststream are now available to members of the union.
Faststream's involvement was a significant factor in the recent award of a contract by the State of Alaska to Crowley Liner Services to provide 35 ocean rangers to work aboard international cruise ships in Alaskan waters. AMO engineers are now being recruited and trained for these positions. Employing its experience with and knowledge of the international cruise industry, Faststream collaborated with Crowley on the development of their response to Alaska's request for proposals. Additionally, one AMO member now has covered employment in a shore-based ship surveying position through the union's agreement with Faststream. |
