by Susan Huppert, NAMMA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been strange to California residents to see the waters leading to the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angles peppered with ships since the pandemic surge in global shipping began last March. The abnormal flow of global goods, pieces and parts, exacerbated by COVID-19 has brought a crunch to the biggest shipping ports in the United States. The Executive Director of the Port of Los Angeles reports that this March has been the strongest March in the 114-year history of the port. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ships\nwaiting at anchorage beyond the two ports are down from about 30 container\nvessels a month ago to about 20, according to Richard McKenna, President and\nCEO of the International Seafarers Center in Long Beach. His concern is not\nonly about the surge in ships, but the care of those who man them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The southern California non-profit provides and maintains facilities and services for the recreational, personal and cultural needs of merchant seamen. In \u201cnormal\u201d times, the 30-year old organization provided seamen from thousands of vessels a place to relax, access internet services, browse a small store, and benefit from transportation services. Temporary housing with a small kitchen for those waiting to join a ship or those getting their professional paperwork in order is occupied. Even with the nearly 100,000 container units moved during March, the center sees less than 100 seafarers in a month. Most all of them are from U.S. flagged ships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, what about all the others who are not on U.S.-flagged ships?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSeafarers\nsailing on foreign-flagged ships are not allowed shore leave by either the\nshipping companies or agents,\u201d said McKenna. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So,\nfollowing their journey, most likely from the Far East and a wait in anchorage\nto discharge cargo, when foreign-flagged ships finally come alongside the dock and\nU.S. Customs and Border Control issue shore passes, a multitude of global\nworkers are less attended to than the cargo they are assuring makes the trip\nwithout incident.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe\nseafarers are obeying, but restless to put their feet on the ground,\u201d said\nLutheran Maritime Ministry worker, Chaplain Samson Chauhan, one of two trained\nchaplains supplied to the seafarer\u2019s center. His mission is to care for this\nglobal workforce as well as he can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chauhan\nboards about five ships a week to look into the eyes of, sit in the galley\nwith, and try to understand the needs of, those he meets. He has climbed\ngangways with requests from bags of rice to chocolates. He has delivered prayers\nand counsel. Word spreads. Seafarers look forward to the contact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey long to see new faces,\u201d said the chaplain. \u201cThe most pressing personal need of seafarers is two-fold,\u201d he said. \u201cFirst, they long to go home. The second is to step on the ground.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According\nto Chauhan, the unwritten orders from the companies of non-U.S. vessels all\nseem to follow the same path \u2013 no one gets off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For\nthe first three months of the pandemic, there was some apprehension about all contact,\nbut it is slowly improving he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nIndian-born chaplain says he and his ministry partner, Abraham Oh, a Korean\nchaplain, work as one to serve the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. They\nobey all the protocols to board vessels, noting that even with Facebook and the\ninternet, most of their contact with seafarers is in person. The needs of this\ninvisible workforce are broad and deep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\nis a humbling experience,\u201d he said.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\ndual ports are the major gateway for U.S.\/Asia trade. The expansive sprawl of commerce\nis located about 25 minutes from downtown Los Angeles. Long Beach alone\ngenerates approximately $100 billion in trade annually according to its\nwebpage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nnon-profit CEO defines the seafarer center as a \u201chome away from home\u201d where two\nrobust volunteers strive to make comfortable all who visit.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\nhas a small budget and a big heart,\u201d said McKenna. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

COVID-19 has changed the world; likewise the information highway.  Access to world news in a minute injects additional strain on workers thousands of miles from home and family and confined to their ships. Seafarers are able to see quickly if there is a spike in COVID cases in India or The Philippines, or the consequence of a typhoon nearing their home. Fear permeates everywhere and there is little they can do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\nhave prayed with them about financial concerns, sick and suffering children,\nthe list continues. I have connected in many different ways,\u201d said Chauhan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhatever\nwe are able to do, we do. It is a great ministry,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I am only one\nperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need more chaplains.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
