AGENDA ITEM #5    Pending HOST Issues:

·        Safety at Sea Subcommittee:  No update

·        SOP 7-98 Multiple Cruise Vessel Visiting Offshore Port Anchorages:  Robin has received correspondence form Nancy Murphy.  Nancy asked if all ships have copies of the HOST tendering operations video.  After a discussion there was a decision to put together a subcommittee with the shipping agents and shipping companies to ensure that tender operators view the video before coming into port.  Teri Leicher of Kona and Hal Silva of Lahaina would like to be involved in the sub committee. Nancy has sent many copies of “letters to the editor” to Robin with concerns about the safety of the swimming lane that are not well marked.   The subcommittee will also address this issue. It may require improving the swimming lanes and buoys.

·        Tug Assistance:  Troy said that the State finalized the draft rules and next week there will be a DBEDT small business review which will provide recommendations for the public hearings.  The rules will probably not be instituted until next year.  It appears that the different interests are coming together.

·        SOP 10-98 Draft Vessel Dispersion Plan:  The draft needs editing and the changes should be made next week.

·        Shore Entry Safety Subcommittee:  Nothing to report.

 

AGENDA ITEM #6   Old Business:

·        Harbor Safety Conference:  Robin was unable to attend the conference because of personal reasons but will get a DVD copy of the Conference activities.

·        Hawaii Boat Show:  HOST did not participate in the Boat Show. Robin thanked Bob Heidrich and Chris for volunteering to help out. He also said that if we are going to participate in these events that we need to have more members turn out to help staff the booth.

·        Security Zone Brochures:  The printing should start July 1, 2006 .

 

AGENDA ITEM #7   New Business:
