Guest post by CAPT Bruce Jones, Chief, Office of Strategic Analysis (CG-0951): The Coast Guard has long understood the importance of partnerships as a force multiplier.

While we haven't had Amistad enroll in Amver yet there were 13 other ships that have signed up. It's always interesting to look at the IMO number of the ships.

Here is a great story originally published in the March 1967 Amver Bulletin.MedicosAn ill engineer aboard the British refrigerated cargo ship ROCKHAMPTON STAR resulted in the ship's asking for a list of doctor ships in the area so she could arrange a transfer.

We couldn't believe it when we read it. In fact, the whole Amver staff was a bit surprised seeing the Financial Post headline Pirate stock exchange helps fund hijackings. But the truth is, according to Reuters reporter Mohamed Ahmed, there are approximately 72 companies "listed" on the exchange or "community activity" as one hijacker called it.Is the exchange a success? 10 of the 72 listed companies had successful hijackings!

Since the IMO declared 2010 the Year of the Seafarer we thought we could expand on that campaign and put together an Amver video.Amver would not be a success without the work and dedication of mariners and rescue controllers. The other part of Amver are the survivors. All of these pieces make the Amver story complete. With that in mind we want to bring these pieces together in a video.

The lines between piracy and terrorism were blurred this week when the Singapore Navy received a warning that terror groups would be targeting oil or product tankers in the Malacca Straights.

Lieutenant Herbert Collins, a Coast Guard legend and the last surviving member of the all-black Pea Island life saving station succumbed to cancer on Sunday evening. Born in 1921, Collins enlisted in 1939 at the age of 18 and would spend 37 years serving his country as a Coast Guardsman.
