Marissa Cap
American Maritime Officers is proud to announce the hiring of Marissa Cap as the new East Coast Boarding Representative.
Cap, a graduate of Massachusetts Maritime Academy, has sailed with AMO since 2012, primarily in the U.S. flagged tanker fleet. Her most recent stint was as Chief Engineer aboard the Stena Impeccable (Crowley), where she participated in the original reflagging of the vessel into the then-new Tanker Security Program.
As an engineer that has progressed through the ranks to the highest level, Cap sailed extensively in both domestic and international trade and knows firsthand the challenges of being a sailing mariner. This knowledge will be paramount in her duties visiting ships calling port on the East Coast and addressing the issues of working AMO members.
“Marissa will bring a fresh perspective to concerns raised by our members. I think the members will find her to be responsive and knowledgeable,” AMO Deep Sea Vice President Jeff Richards said. “I’m looking forward to her being an integral part of the Deep Sea team to better serve the membership.”
Cap has already hit the ground running at AMO as she represented the union at a Mass Maritime Career Fair and participated in the maritime industry’s signature lobbying event – the Congressional Sail In on Capitol Hill – in her first two weeks.
Marissa is expected to begin ship visits in the coming weeks. She can be reached at or by phone at mobile: (954) 405-4404 or office: (954) 367-1007.
