SAFETY SPOTLIGHT This month’s Safety Spotlight is on Joe Miranda of Olympic Tug and Barge, Mate/Tankerman on the CF Campbell and Olympic Spirit. Joe started his career with Olympic Tug and Barge in December of 2006. He has worked in the maritime industry for many years. Before Olympic, he worked on fishing vessels in Alaska, for a towing company in Virginia as an Engineer and Deckhand and at Diversified shipyard. From the beginning of Joe’s career in the maritime industry, he has kept safety in the forefront of his mind. Always trying to bring a safety culture to his crewmates and bring safety ideas to management as well. With his experience in the industry, he has brought up many great ideas through his safety tips and articles he turns into the Safety Incentive Program. Joe has worked hard since starting with Olympic, now being checked off on the Dale Frank Jr., Dottie, Dr. Bonnie Ramsey, Dugan Pearsall, Lovel Briere, Nathan Schmidt, Olympic Spirit, Shauna Kay, Sixty-Five Roses and the Webb Moffet. He is also very active in the company’s Safety Incentive Program, always sending in great information for others to learn from. Joe is a leader in the safety focus of the company. Joe Miranda: Every job I have had has a focus on safety. And in my experience that focus has only sharpened as the years pass. I am proud to be part of a company that puts this much emphasis on safety. My best days are days when I go to sleep knowing that all my coworkers, my vessel, and the environment have had another productive and safe day. Matt Hammond: Joe is one of the most meticulous and thorough

2

employees at OTB. He approaches every task with an “I can do it, and I will do it as best as I can” attitude. Through his hard work and great work, as well as his safety ethic, Joe has progressed to the point of being one of OTB's most versatile Mate Tankerman.

Thumbs Up to the crews of the Eagle and Dugan Pearsall for their hard work and maintenance onboard the vessels, their equipment looks great. We appreciate your work, you have done an excellent job with maintaining the vessels.

EXERCISE AND WEIGHT GAIN Are your Exercise Habits Actually Making You Fatter? Author: James Fell, Askmen.com 07/21/2014 You wake up with a sore throat and Technicolor snot. Is it Ebola, or perhaps the common cold? This is an example of Occam’s Razor, which boils down to: the simple answer is usually the correct one. How does this apply to exercise and weight loss? Well, the simple answer is that weight loss is a product of energy balance. As I showed in my last column, debunking the so-called “calorie myth,” if you’re in a caloric deficit, you’re going to lose weight, and if you’re in a caloric surplus, you’ll gain. Period. So when you hear about exercise, or specific types of exercises (cardio) that can cause you to gain weight, it’s not because of adrenal fatigue, or metabolic collapse, or nutrient partitioning, or muscle-fiber conversion or the Loch Ness Monster. It’s because of food. Every summer I spend a few weeks on the coast running, hiking, sea kayaking, swimming and getting about double my usual amount of exercise. It’s because I’m on vacation and I have to do something to fill up those extra hours in the day. And still I gain weight. Specifically, I gain fat. Why? Because food. And beer. I’m on vacation, and I’m eating and drinking like the apocalypse is imminent. All that exercise, about 15 hours a week of it, is not enough to undo the drunken gluttony. My point is: it’s near impossible to out-exercise eating and drinking too much. So when people say that exercise can make you gain weight (and we’re mostly not talking about muscle-building here), it’s because something is going on with the regimen that is leading to an increase in caloric

2

intake. Occam’s Razor, right? A recent study published in Appetite found that the same exercise could elicit a different post-exercise eating response depending on whether it was described as “endurance” exercise or “fat burning” exercise. Guess which one caused people to eat more afterwards? This is but one study out of many that have shown an out-of-whack response to exercise. People get some exercise then they eat because they feel like they earned it. And now more studies are showing that the messaging surrounding such exercise can have an even more profound effect. It’s also quite common, and to a significant extent it’s because we’ve been lead to believe that exercise is some miracle fat-burner. Coke says it’s not their sugar water that’s the problem, but that you don’t move enough. You’ve been told to refuel with chocolate milk or some other price-inflated “recovery drink.” Certainly you can’t jog more than 20 minutes without Gatorade. We played soccer tonight, so that means victory pints and chicken wings at the pub. The reality is that, no matter how much marketing and “healthy options” a restaurant puts forth to make it seem like a wise choice, it’s a helluva lot easier, and less expensive, to prepare healthy and calorie-conscious meals at home. People don’t get lean eating at restaurants. Exercise is only part of the answer when it comes to weight loss. Without controlling food intake, weight will not be lost (and could be gained) with the integration of an exercise regimen. And so it’s important to wake up. By “wake up,” I mean it’s necessary for people to understand just how many calories they’re burning in a day,

3

including with the integration of exercise, as well as how many calories they’re eating in a day. And they need to know that the number on the scale only gets lower if you’re eating fewer calories than you burn. Again, this is not a myth. Answer: Ditch this reward mentality. The reward mentality is the one that makes you think that because you exercised you get a treat. The math is almost always wrong with such thinking, meaning that you are almost certainly going to consume more calories than you burned off. As I pointed out in this column, there are myriad ways that exercise can enhance your ability to improve your eating. One way is the improved “executive function” in your brain, which makes you better at impulse control, planning and decision-making, all of which are valuable skills for sticking to a diet. Another is knowing that exercise, especially more intense forms, provides an “alternative reward,” meaning a good sweat is just as mentally rewarding as a hot fudge sundae. What’s more, there is the psychological aspect of seeing food as a source of healthy fuel for exercise endeavors, so it prompts you to make wiser choices and reject continuous indulgence. Know that there are two paths: the one where you’re clueless and you use exercise as an excuse to run amok with your eating and drinking, and the other where you understand that without dietary control, no amount or variety of exercise will lead to weight loss. In short: Exercise doesn’t entitle you to a treat; it gives you the power to resist such treats. James S.

THE POWER OF SAYING THANK YOU “Several times in the last month Harley Franco had the opportunity to address us all as his employees and team. On all occasions he took the time to remind everyone that we are a team, working together and making the difference. As an employer, he has provided ample opportunity for each one of us to feel supported, acknowledged and valued. Below is an article written about why the simple act of saying thank you is of importance. Harley has been the guiding example of how he expects the culture of this company to be.” Businesses that proactively use appreciation can attest to its powerful value. As the saying goes, “Next to excellence comes the appreciation of it.” When it becomes part of corporate culture, appreciation can be the secret weapon that propels companies past their competition. When it’s absent, it can cripple performance, productivity and profitability. Too often, workers are ignored, asked to perform tasks without proper guidance, given little feedback so they can do their jobs well, rarely acknowledged for their good work and only singled out when they make mistakes. This takes its toll on even the most energetic and positive employees. Business owners and managers have to ask themselves how much they value their employees and customers. In many cases, the truthful answer would be “not much.” More than half of employees admit they would stay longer at their jobs if their bosses showed more appreciation according to a recent survey by Glassdoor. Fortunately, there are many ways that managers can show their appreciation: • Treats and rewards. The survey also found that small unexpected treats and rewards, such as snacks,

lunches and dinners, made a big difference to employees, as did opportunities for increased involvement in decision making, opportunities to do interesting work, telecommuting options and company sponsored social events.

• Public acknowledgments. Handing out employee of the month awards and other token public acknowledgments can be another way to show gratitude. David Novak, CEO of Yum! Brands— which operates more than 40,000 KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants—found that his employees loved receiving floppy chickens and other fun gifts as special recognition awards. He also hangs a photo of himself with each employee in his own office.

• Simple thank yous. For a job well done, saying a simple thank you in person or with a note can go a long way toward making employees feel appreciated. While it may be easier to dash off an email, a handwritten note may mean more, since it takes time to sit down and prepare it.

Thanking employees regularly may help them to accept criticism better, as long as the feedback is specific. If you make your employees feel better about what they do and how they contribute, both positive and negative feedback can become a regular part of the conversation. A manager should make an effort to walk around the office each day looking for opportunities to praise the members of his or her team. Showing genuine appreciation can acknowledge the worth within every employee. It can also lead to increased performance, productivity and profitability. Moreover, this success comes not at the cost of the employee’s well-being but by actually enhancing it.

By: Victoria Hall-Clinton, HSQE Coordinator This year, each region has been tasked with reevaluating and scoring active aspects and impacts that affect Harley Marine in its daily operation. Each region was asked to recalculate the significant impact score of five products used in daily operations, i.e. pens, aluminum cans, etc. Thank you to the team members in San Francisco, Dutch Harbor, and Seattle who helped make changes in these regions possible! The Environmental Management System Program (EMSP) Team identifies environmental aspects and impacts related to Harley Marine’s related activities and services. The team identifies activities and services, aspects and impacts, determines the significance and then prioritizes. Frequency of impact, impact probability, impact severity, and legal risk are all criteria that are important factors to be considered when determining the significance of environmental aspects. Using a formula in the Marine Operations

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS

Manual, each aspect and impact are then given a score to determine what requires the most attention. This is how Harley Marine created the SIS (Significant Impact Score) spreadsheet, which the EMSP Team used to determine which significant environmental aspects would be included in the company’s annual objectives and targets (O&Ts). This year’s environmental O&T is employee re-education, and we hope to have a 25% increase in knowledge company-wide. A big thank you to everyone who has taken the Going Green Awareness Quiz. Harley Marine needs 100% participation and for those who submit, and are able, will receive 15 SIP points. Please fill out the quiz and send your response to [email protected]. The quiz can be found on the portal.

On June 26th, Harley Marine Services sponsored the CF Mariners Care Golf Tournament at Newcastle Golf Club. The tournament brings out our local Seattle Mariners, allowing each foursome to golf with a baseball celebrity. The day was full of fun and most importantly, raised $200,000 to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Harley Marine will continue “Cruisin for a Cure” until we can proudly name a vessel CURE FOUND. Thank you to everyone who came and supported such a wonderful event.

Harley Marine has always been very proud of its strong mentoring program, but this year, in an effort to improve and make the program even more successful, some updates have been made. Next month, each employee will receive a Mentoring Program Handbook and we would like to encourage everyone, both on and offshore, to choose a mentor and respond to [email protected] with whom you have decided to work with. Whether you have a mentor or are in the process of searching for one, mentoring has been proven to be critical to success. This is an opportunity to build your leadership, skills mastery, and management potential. Having a mentor will help you to make decisions about your career path while exposing you to diverse perspectives and experiences. A big thank you to everyone who has already chosen a mentor and signed up!

SAFETY INCENTIVE PROGRAM

Winning Tip: By: Timothy Picou, Harley Marine Gulf

HEARING & HEAD PROTECTION Hearing Protection: Whenever possible, administrative and engineering controls should be used to reduce noise exposure. When those options are not feasible or not sufficient, personal hearing protection is a must. Make sure that the NOISE REDUCTION RATION (NRR) of the hearing protection will sufficiently reduce the noise level at the ear. Proper fit of hearing protection is an absolute necessity for proper protection. Head Protection: Hard hats are designed to protect against bumps, falling objects and electrocution. There are 2 types and 3 classes of hard hats. Make sure that you are wearing a hard hat that will provide the protection for his or her job. TYPE - IMPACT PROTECTION 1 - TO THE TOP OF THE HEAD 2 - TO TOP, SIDE OR BACK OF HEAD CLASS - ELECTRICAL PROTECTION C - NO ELECTRICAL PROTECTION G - UP TO 2200 VOLTS E - UP TO 20000 VOLTS Winning Article: By: Sean O’Connell, Olympic Tug & Barge

EYE PROTECTION

Every day there are about 2,000 job related eye injuries in the United States that require medical treatment. Almost everyone is smart enough to wear eye protection when operating a grinder, drilling, using a torch or maybe welding. An area I often see people not wearing eye protection when they should is during the connection or disconnection of the barge cargo hoses. We often deal with cargo products at temperatures in excess of 140° and under pressures of up to 100 psi. Getting sprayed in the eyes with hot oil would not only be painful, but could cost you your eyesight. Ask yourself, are you wearing eye protection when tankering oil barges? If you are not, please consider starting today. Below is a picture of an eye that had a chemical burn. Maybe this will help persuade you. Don’t ever take your eyesight for granted.

I have found that wearing tinted safety glasses when working the barge during the day makes it a little easier to always wear them. Smith and Wesson make a very comfortable model (the mini magnum) of safety glasses designed for shooting. They come in many lens colors and are available for under $10. Also your employer provides all the PPE that you may need for any task, but, it doesn’t work if you don’t use it.

Healthy Lifestyles at Harley Marine SEATTLE TO PORTLAND (STP) Three HMS employees rode in the Seattle to Portland Bike Ride this year. On Saturday July 12th, Heather Clopton, Derick Lillejord and Ravi Sekhon began the two-day ride that took them through 200+ miles of scenic Washington. When asked about his second consecutive year participating, Ravi said, “that the most difficult part of the ride this year were the high temperatures of 103!” Though each rider rode separately and finished in their respective times, each would like to encourage more members of the HMS family to ride in the STP next year. Congratulations to those who participated in the STP this year. CF CYCLE FOR LIFE Heather Clopton, Derick Lillejord and Wir Smith participated in the 65 mile CF Cycle for Life on July 27th. The ride started at Redhook Brewery in Woodinville and continued through some of the most scenic terrain in Western Washington. Participants rode together to raise money and awareness in the fight against cystic fibrosis. If you will be participating in any healthy activity with other co-workers, please let us know, we would like the opportunity to highlight your efforts.

CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS Zidell Marine The barge portion of Harley Marine’s first ATB is currently being built at Zidell Marine in Portland, Oregon. The DR. ROBERT J. BEALL has a capacity of 83,000 barrels and is 422 feet long. She is expected to be delivered to Harley Marine this Fall. A christening ceremony will take place in Seattle before the barge enters service. The barge’s presence is well-known and well-seen at the shipyard as her bow is clearly visible out of the construction bay. The shipyard is currently constructing the notch of the stern.

Vigor Industrial The second barge of our ATB fleet is also under construction in Portland at Vigor Industrial. She too will also have an 83,000 barrel capacity and length of 422 feet. The FIGHT FANCONI ANEMIA is expected to be delivered to Harley Marine in early Summer 2015.

401(k) Retirement Planning Second Quarter 2014 Market Commentary US economic growth faced a challenging start to 2014 with Q1 results showing the first negative quarter-over-quarter change in three years (-2.9% from Q4 2013 to Q1 2014). However, much of that decline was attributable to extreme winter weather over many parts of the country, with some areas experiencing their harshest winter in decades. The economic activity delayed by that weather should result in pent up demand that should help drive a rebound through the rest of the year.

To this point, this economic recovery has been slower than past ones, with low corporate capital investment, depressed consumer spending, and reduced government outlays. Real GDP growth has averaged 2.1% during this expansion, well below the historical average of 3.0%.

Corporate profitability (as measured by S&P 500 earnings per share) dipped a bit in Q1, but remains close to the all time highs achieved towards the end of 2013. Unemployment dropped to 6.3% as of May. With an estimated 9.4 million jobs created since the start of the recovery, job gains finally exceeded the 8.8 million jobs lost in the Great Recession for the first time. Falling government spending reduced GDP by about a half percent through 2013. And finally, the boom in domestic energy production has reduced the need for oil imports, reducing America’s trade deficit and the economic drag created by net imports. This ongoing renaissance in domestic energy should continue to provide a tailwind to the US economy going forward. Investment Market Results All of these improving growth indicators perked investment markets up from their relatively sluggish Q1 results, with broad-based gains across the board. The S&P 500 index gained 5.23% for the quarter, up from 1.81% last quarter. Investors favored large caps over mid and small caps, and growth over value, although there was some variation depending on the specific “style box”. Large cap growth led all domestic categories with a gain of 7.41%, while small cap growth brought up the rear with a gain of 2.85%.

Internationally, emerging markets finally picked up some momentum with a 6.71% gain for the MSCI EM index. Developed markets trailed both emerging markets and the US with a return of 4.34% for the MSCI EAFE index. As in the US, investors seemed to favor large caps over small caps.

In the fixed income space, domestic bond indices remained positive across all time horizons, with longer durations posting stronger gains. The Morningstar Short Term, Intermediate Term, and Long Term Indexes gained 0.48%, 2.20%, and 4.04% respectively. Emerging market debt led all fixed income sectors for the second consecutive quarter with a 4.8% return in US dollar terms. Overall, the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index gained 2.0% for the quarter.

July Employee of the Month Olympic Tug & Barge Tim Hinman We usually don't hear much from the crews on the BOB FRANCO, due mainly because of people like Captain Tim Hinman. Day in and day out, the crews go about their business performing a vital service by assisting vessels at the Nikiski Terminal in Cook Inlet. What you don't see are the constantly changing schedules and the logistical challenges that come with operating in a remote area like this. Tim, who is July's Employee of the Month, has worked on the BOB FRANCO since Olympic Tug and Barge began operating there over a year ago. He has been doing an exceptional job insuring that the operation runs smoothly, and that crew changes and crew travel takes place without incident. Additionally, whether last minute or not, he is always willing to fill in whenever and wherever needed. Thank you Tim for keeping this important operation running smoothly.

HMNY Employee of the Quarter HMNY would like to recognize Eudoro “Pete” Trillos as Harley Marine NY’s Employee of the Quarter. Pete is the Barge Captain on the Chrestensen Sea. He has been instrumental in keeping the Chrestensen Sea in tip-top condition and acts as a Mentor to his fellow teammates. Pete has been spearheading the summer painting projects on his assigned barge. His efforts along with that of his fellow barge partners have paid off, as the barge looks fantastic. Pete is a true asset to Team New York and his attention to detail and strong work ethic do not go unnoticed. Keep up the good work Pete, it’s a pleasure having you on Team New York.
