The new building features solar power energy,
a
rainwater
collection
system,
sustainable
building materials, a leading-edge ventilation
system, and electric car charging stations,
among other great environmentally friendly
aspects that have won the building such
prestigious recognition.
Employees are also
offered access to a gym, bike storage and
showers to promote a healthy living style. The
building has quickly become the “gem of the
harbor” in Puget Sound.

HARLEY MARINE SERVICES EXPANDS FLEET
DIVERSIFICATION BY BUILDING ATB
As Harley Marine Services continues to grow,
opportunities to enter new markets and business
developments emerge. Right now, the most
exciting project Harley Marine has embarked
upon is building articulated tugs and barges
(ATB) to service a long-time, loyal customer. An
articulated tug and barge combines the benefits of
traditional towing methods and that of a small
tanker. With an articulated unit, the stern of the
barge is built with a specially designed notch so
that a bow of a tugboat can easily fit in place with
a connection system.
The
combined
unit
provides
better
maneuverability and steering capabilities while
allowing
safer
and
more
efficient
transportation. Compared to a traditional towed
barge, an ATB has higher average speeds and can
connect and disconnect at departures and arrivals
faster. Additionally, both pieces can function
independently like a traditional tug and barge.
After a market study and extensive research,
Harley Marine Services has partnered with Zidell
Marine Corporation of Portland, Oregon and
Conrad Industries of Morgan City, Louisiana to
build the first ATB in the fleet.
The barge portion of the ATB unit is a double hull
barge with an overall hull length of 422' 3", a
molded beam of 76' 8" and a depth amidships of
27' 10". She will have a carrying capacity of 80,000
barrels and will be paired with a 4,070
horsepower twin-screw tug. The tug will have an
overall length of 116', a molded beam of 36' and a
depth of 16' 9".
The barge will be named DR. ROBERT J. BEALL,
after a remarkable doctor and President & CEO of
the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Dr. Beall is
committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis and
has been a leader in the fight for 30 plus
years. And the tug will be named EMERY
ZIDELL, who founded Zidell Marine Corporation
2
and is father to Jay Zidell, current president of the
company. Emery was a dear friend and role model
for Harley and Lela Franco and supporter of Harley
Marine Services.
Emery was a generous,
philanthropic man and included the Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation in his charitable giving. Harley Marine
is honored to name these vessels after such
significant stewards of the community, this ATB
will shine bright in the fleet.
The ATB will allow Harley Marine to provide better
coastal petroleum transportation services by
expediting delivery and will provide better
reliability in adverse weather conditions.
The purpose-built ATB will not only provide faster
delivery speeds, but will allow Harley Marine to
utilize less fuel on coastal deliveries, reducing the
company’s overall carbon footprint. Utilizing an
ATB for longer voyages gives the vessel crew safe
and secure access to the barge and cargo tanks
during transportation. The ATB will be built with
the most technically and environmental friendly
equipment available so that Harley Marine can
continue to provide a safe, responsible, reliable and
efficient service to its customers.
Harley Marine expects the ATB to enter service at
the end of 2014 and will join the Olympic Tug &
Barge fleet based in Seattle, Washington. "We are
eager to take delivery of our first ATB," states
Harley Franco, Chairman and CEO of Harley
Marine Services. "Starting a new delivery method
proves our willingness to adapt to a changing
market and provide our customers with a service
tailored to meet their growing needs." As a leader in
the industry, Harley Marine Services considers all
new business opportunities and will work to
provide the best available marine transportation
while protecting the environment.
Future plans may include building more ATB's to
meet the growing demand of coastal petroleum
transportation services.

Eat Better
Why Eat Better?
A healthy diet is one of your best weapons for fighting
cardiovascular disease. When you eat a heart-healthy
diet (foods low in saturated and trans fat, cholesterol,
sodium and added sugars, and foods high in whole
grain fiber, lean protein, and a variety of colorful fruits
and vegetables) you improve your chances for feeling
good and staying healthy– for life! However, an
alarmingly high number of us are not making healthy
food choices. Recent studies show that more than 90%
of us fail to consistently eat a heart-healthy diet. Our
poor eating habits mean more of us have risk factors
for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity.
How Does Better Eating Affect My Health?
Let’s face it, you can’t build a healthy body on a diet of
hamburgers and french fries. If you are frequently
skipping out on veggies, fruit, low-fat dairy, fiber-rich
whole grains, and lean meats including fish, your body
is missing the basic building blocks for a healthy
life. Healthy foods are the fuel our bodies use to make
new cells and create the energy we need to thrive and
fight diseases.
What Can I Do to Eat Better?
Stock your kitchen with healthy food
Healthy eating requires planning, but a little bit of
thought goes a long way toward a better life. Buy less
junk and more produce.
The American Heart
Association recommends that you eat a wide variety of
nutritious foods daily from each of the basic food
groups. To get the nutrients you need, choose foods
like vegetables, fruits, fiber-rich whole-grain breads
and cereals and fat-free or low-fat dairy products most
often.
Check out our heart-healthy recipes and
nutrition information.
Track what you eat!
For a few days, keep a journal or use an online food
tracker. This habit helps you see where you need to
improve your choices.
Eat vegetables and fruits.
They are high in vitamins, minerals and fiber — and
they’re low in calories. Eating a variety of deeply
colored fruits and vegetables may help you control
4
your weight and your blood pressure.
Eat unrefined fiber-rich whole-grain foods.
A diet rich in fiber can help promote weight loss
because fiber keeps you feeling fuller longer so you eat
less. It can also help lower your blood cholesterol.
Eat fish at least twice a week.
Recent research shows that eating (2) 3.5 oz. servings of
oily fish per week containing omega-3 fatty acids
(salmon, trout, and herring) may help lower your risk
of death from coronary artery disease. For additional
protein, choose skinless lean meats and poultry and
prepare them without adding saturated and trans fat.
Select fat-free, 1 percent fat, and low-fat dairy products.
Cut back on saturated and trans fats, cholesterol and
added sugars.
Cut down on foods containing partially hydrogenated
vegetable oils to reduce trans fat in your diet. Aim to
eat less than 300 milligrams of cholesterol each day.
Choose and prepare foods with little or no salt. Aim to
eat less than 1500 milligrams of sodium per day.
Limiting sugary drinks to no more than 36 oz. per
week is a great way to reduce added sugars in your
diet.
Savor new flavors!
It may take a bit of adjustment to learn to enjoy a hearthealthy diet, but those who make the switch can find
plenty of nutritious choices that are every bit as tasty.
Many switchers will tell you that greasy fast-food
choices no longer seem appealing.

MENTORING SPOTLIGHT
Research on why people have become masterful in a niche – professions, trades, sports, science and the arts,
highlights the importance of having mentors. Talk to any great software engineer, project manager, athlete
or artist and they will tell you that their mentor(s) made the difference. We’ve all heard the quote that
“great scientists stand on the shoulders of those who preceded them.” Mentor/mentee partnerships were the
earliest forms of learning and professional development. Today having multiple mentors is a necessity
because so much is changing around us. No one person can coach others in all the domains of a complex
workplace.
Mentors — who may be older or younger than you — are those who know more about a certain area of
expertise than you do. Mentoring is a learning and development partnership between a professional with
in-depth experience and knowledge in a specific area and a protégé seeking learning and coaching in the
same area.
Finding a mentor is up to you. Look around and determine the different people in your region you might
turn to for extra coaching and support. Once you find someone you think can help, look for ways you can
help him/her as well. Mentor/mentee partnerships work best when they are two-way streets. Listen
generously to what mentors need. You will find it easier to ask them for what you need.

SAFETY INCENTIVE PROGRAM
Winning Tip:
By: Joseph Miranda, OTB
When going to connect or disconnect any cargo hose or loading arm, be sure you are aware of the
particulars of the cargo being transferred. Petroleum products can have many harmful vapors in them,
such as H2S and/or benzene. When any harmful vapors are even suspected, be sure to wear your
company provided 3M respirator with the correct 6000 series acid gas cartridge. If you do not currently
have a respirator or do not know which cartridge to use for your application, then please contact your
supervisor and remedy the situation immediately. On December 24, 2013 a fleet directive was issued that
all barge personnel are to be clean-shaven to a point that your 3M respirator will make a tight seal. It is also
smart to have SCBA’s available for the times when the vapors prove to be beyond the safety threshold and
is required by some terminals.

Practical Safety Drills
Many times when safety drills are conducted they are done at the galley table as a discussion of “what if’s”.
Although these discussions bring to light some of the situations we might face, they do little to gauge how
we would respond in an actual emergency.
Practical drills, which simulate an emergency, will let the crew know where crewmembers need work and
where they are strong. For instance, by holding an unannounced fire drill, you can see where some people
react in such a way that would be harmful or beneficial to the situation and work with that individual to
improve the response.
One such fire drill could consist of a flashing red light (like a bicycle light) placed in a likely fire area with a
sign that describes the fire. Other signs in the area could close off certain exits and entrances. The person
who finds the red flashing light will then have to respond as if it was a real fire. When the alarm sounds
you can then gauge how the crew responds as a unit to diffuse or minimize the danger.
In a real response you want to know that everyone involved will not panic and work to keep themselves,
crewmembers and the vessel safe. And, in that order.
Another reason to repeat these drills is that repetition will help the response be automatic. If you have
reached beside the galley fridge for the fire extinguisher 7 times while drilling then it will be automatic to
look by the galley fridge when the range catches fire. A person will become familiar and comfortable with
the location of the response equipment aboard his vessel.

SAFETY SPOTLIGHT
How did SOCAL manage to have ZERO
Injuries, Illnesses, Incidents or Spills
for the entire month of December?
Doug Houghton, General Manager The whole culture has really changed over the past several years. Andre Nault has done a great job of
eliminating hazards and getting all of us engaged in thinking Safety at all times. Kelly Moore is constantly
communicating Safety and educating the barge crews. Mike Castagnola and the engineers are doing a great
job of reducing mechanical issues. Mike Golden and all the captains are constantly discussing ways to run
their vessels incident free.
One advantage we have is a real seasoned complement of crew both on the barges and the tugs. We have
held all employees accountable to follow policies and procedures. The biggest factor that I think has
changed our trend is a high moral and a sense of teamwork. The SoCal Team - Tankermen, Engineers,
Captains, Shore-side Personnel and Management - all have a sense of pride to be part of the Harley Marine
team. I hope we can continue on this path and make 2014 our safest year ever.
Kelly Moore, Manager Petroleum Barge Operations I feel that the whole SoCal Team comes together as one unit to tackle all of the challenges that we are faced
with. With the great attitudes and hard work of the entire Team (management and fleet), all working
towards the common goal, this has directly resulted in our safety record. We have built relationships and
have trust within the fleet.
I think we’ve overcome obstacles, the crews have bought into our safety culture from boots on the ground,
Management - Engineering, Operations, Safety, getting out in the fleet and they know that we’re their
advocate.
Captain Michael Golden, Port Captain First, I think part of this is that the whole SoCal team is getting better at what they all do. There is better
communication and planning to prevent people from being in a rush. All safety meetings and drills that are
generated from the boats through the Wheelhouse Management System are reviewed and replied to. The
seriousness, repercussions and final outcome of accidents and injuries to our company have become more
aware to the employees from the management team. There is in-depth follow-up and conclusion of
accidents/injuries. We review the Safety Stand Downs and Monthly Safety packets, which include reviews
of company-wide lessons learned, near misses and accidents/injuries. Maintenance and repair issues are
getting done to keep equipment safe and operable to standard. My feeling is that the existing employees
have all been doing a great job at increasing the bar to a higher standard. It is a combined effort throughout
the SoCal Team.

Retirement Planning – Fourth Quarter 2013 Market Commentary
Heading into last year, investors viewed 2013 with caution – if not downright
pessimism. Europe was still struggling with its government spending and
debt troubles. China, whose meteoric rise had accounted for much of the
world’s growth over the preceding decade, was slumping. The US recovery
continued to be hampered by skeptical employers who were reluctant to hire
and a Congress that only added to the uncertainty. In spite of it all, both
domestic and international investment markets generated strong gains for the
year 2013.
Domestic equity markets not only reached all-time highs, they blew right past
them. The S&P 500 Index (the benchmark for large company stock
performance) had its best year since 1997, while the Russell 2000 Index (the
benchmark for small company stock performance) enjoyed the fourth best
year in its history – up close to 40%. Many stock performance indices were up
over 30% for the year. Such strong performance in the face of a relatively
weak economy has many people wondering how this can happen.
One major factor, and one of the oldest truisms on Wall Street is “Don’t fight
the Fed!” With the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates low in order to
encourage borrowing, support housing, and stimulate investment – investors
needed to buy stocks in order to generate any reasonable return on
investment. Skeptics who focused on the potential downside risks of “easy
money” missed out on an incredible year. The key questions now are
whether the real economy can now catch up to investment markets, and
whether investment markets can keep their gains while the Fed decreases the
stimulus program.
Another important factor and lesson for retirement plan investors, is that
markets are very unpredictable in the short term. Few pundits predicted the
banner year that we experienced in 2013. More often than not, basing
investment strategy on short-term factors is a losing proposition. This is why
we always recommend a well-diversified, long-term approach. It’s a lesson
that is easy to forget when seemingly obvious troubles lurk on the horizon.

Investment Market Results
Domestic stocks ended the year on a tear. The S&P 500 index gained 10.5%
for the quarter, and 32.4% for the year. International markets also did well for
both the quarter and year, although they could not keep up with a hot US
market. The MSCI EAFE (Europe Asia Far East) Index returned 5.75% for the
quarter and 23.29% for the year. Bond/fixed income investments lost value as
the Fed began reducing stimulus in December. For the year, treasury bonds
were down 2.7% and corporate bonds decreased by 1.5%. Only high-yield
bonds (aka junk bonds) had a positive return for the year, up 7.4%.
