 FROM OUR CHAIRMAN
Dear Friends,
How often do we stop and consider the debt of gratitude we owe to those who make our modern
way of life possible? Despite huge recent changes in technology and communications, our lives remain
intrinsically connected to waterborne transportation, from our imported coffee and clothes to the
energy that turns on our lights and fuels our car. These connections underpin the world we
know. On every tug, boat and ship, mariners work 24/7 away from their families to get the job done
with great professionalism and dignity. SCI is committed to supporting them, and I am proud to
support SCI.
Behind every big story, there are countless moments of service, dedication, and diligence that
characterize the day to day of SCIs work. Please join me in celebrating the great achievements
showcased in this Annual Report and supporting the services SCI provides.

 SEEING OUR CONNECTIONS
The Rev. David M. Rider, President & Executive Director

In 2016 we asked you to see your connection to the maritime
world, which is an integral but often overlooked part of our
modern way of life.
Because you recognized your connection to the maritime and
acted with generous support, SCI thrives in its ability to the
respond to the changing needs of international, inland and
coastwise mariners.
This past year, SCI pursued its daily mission of pastoral care,
maritime education, and seafarer-rights advocacy on ordinary
days, and in times of great need. Our chaplains comforted
mariners from near and far who coped with family crises
back home or the loss of crewmates to illness, injury, or
self-harm. Our maritime education staff balanced weekly
high-tech simulation training with specialized services like
feasibility studies and steersmen assessments. Our advocacy
colleagues consulted on seafarer-rights cases around the
world while providing human-factor thought leadership
with international maritime bodies and global forums.
In addition to our routine work, we christened a renovated
Houston training center with next-generation simulation
infrastructure, embodying our commitment to excellence
for years to come. Our El Faro Relief Fund served the needs
of family members adjusting to the incalculable pain of loved
ones lost at sea. Going the extra mile, an SCI chaplain flew to
Djibouti on short notice to provide crisis support to a ships
crew who narrowly escaped a piracy attack. A distinctive
blend of compassion, creativity, and agility served mariners
and their loved ones faithfully throughout the year.
Please read this Annual Report to better understand the human
connections that bind all of us to maritime life. The world depends
on mariners, mariners depend on SCI, and SCI depends on you.
Thank you for your prayers, leadership and support in 2016.

In Memoriam
Chairman Emeritus George D. Benjamin
In September 2016, SCI lost a great friend and
leader, Chairman Emeritus George D. Benjamin.
George served as trustee from 1973 to 2009,
including three years as Chairman of the
Board. His tenure oversaw critical expansions
to SCIs mission, including construction of
the Water Street facility, relocation of our
maritime education centers to Paducah and
Houston, and a growing commitment to
seafarers rights. His dedication and passion
for SCIs mission will be long remembered.
Baxter Graham
In February 2017, SCI trustee Baxter Graham
passed away after a brief illness. Baxter brought
his professional expertise to SCIs Board of
Trustees, where he headed up the Real Estate
Committee and helped manage SCIs various
locations. An active Episcopalian and enthusiastic
fly fisherman, he shared SCIs deep concern
for seafarers. Baxters compassionate heart
and enlightened wisdom will be missed.

May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

COLLABORATION WITH YALE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
Dr. Rafael Rafi Lefkowitz serves as Assistant
Professor at Yales School of Occupational and
Environmental Medicine and has collaborated with
SCI for five years.
Dr. Lefkowitz current project, entitled Risk Factors
for Injury and Illness in Seafarers, is funded by the
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH). His research assesses working conditions
for seafarers, and, according to Rafi, working with SCI
has helped immeasurably with this goal. Without
SCI we wouldnt have been able to talk to seafarers
In this field, researchers are often restricted to
using whatever data is made available to them, but
they arent able to fill in the gaps, he says. With
SCIs support, we can access seafarers directly,
leading to a better understanding of their health and
wellness needs.
Working with SCI to meet and interview mariners
provides context for his research. By talking to
seafarers in their place of work, we find out about
their lifestyle and exposures in the day to day, not
10 ANNUAL REPORT 2016
just when they fall sick or get injured this gives us
a big-picture view of the situation. According to Dr.
Lefkowitz, the wide data sample provided by visiting
ships in Port Newark is also extremely valuable:
We get a good snapshot of all different types of
ships in different conditions, under different flags,
with crews of different nationalities, carrying different
types of cargo. It adds up to a big research sample,
both in terms of the work environment and the
seafarers. It is great global sampling that will enhance
our ongoing work, providing meaningful information
to make seafarers lives at sea better.
SCI also helped develop the survey Rafi uses
when interviewing seafarers. Douglas Stevenson,
Director of SCIs Center for Seafarers Rights,
collaborated in wording the survey, even sitting
down with ship captains to ensure it made
sense and was a data collection tool that was
both meaningful and useful. Going back to the
personal touch that SCI provides, Rafi adds:
Most physicians, if they have encounters with
seafarers at all, do so at a clinic onshore, so there
is no information on the entire crew and their
work environment. In contrast, the VIP access we
get as researchers escorted by SCI chaplains and
as a part of the SCI team is invaluable. Without
SCIs commitment to the work, we wouldnt
be able to do it at all. The fact is, our mission
combines with SCI here we both have the
desire to aid mariners, and focusing on health
andwellness is an important facet of that.
Towards the end of 2016, Rafi and his team began
turning their attention to the inland and coastal
mariner community as they see the potential
for future major projects in this area. Big issues
are coming to the surface from the maritime
community within the US. It is yet another
workforce that has undergone very limited
research, which we hope to remedy through
exploring an evidence-base for future preventative
interventions aimed at keeping people well
at work.
As an occupational medicine doctor, I have a
passion for this project. I love the essential
work that SCI doesserving marinersand
I am motivated to help them in it as far as
possible. I have enjoyed seeing SCI at work
outside of the health arena too, involved in chaplaincy,
legal rights, maritime education, fair pay, fair treatment,
and more. It makes me aware that health is just one piece
of the puzzle for mariner wellness and its something
Im proud to be moving forward together with SCI.

OAKLAND TRANSITION
Beginning in 2009, SCI supervised and administered
a small seafarers center in the Port of Oakland,
coordinating ship visits, supplying and maintaining
seafarer transport, and assuming costs for building
maintenance, insurance, and repair. In 2016, SCI
transitioned management of this Center. Day-to-day
ship visiting continues with ecumenical partners,
representing three denominational seafarers
ministries. SCI collaborates with these and other
12 ANNUAL REPORT 2016
seafarer welfare agencies to ensure seafarers find
support no matter where their journeys take them.
In spite of the maritime industrys rapid
transformation, SCI remains in a highly advantageous
position to move forward in achievement and
impact over the coming years and beyond. Releasing
management of the Oakland-based International
Maritime Center allows SCI to diversify the role
of the International Seafarers Center based in
Port Newark, in accordance with the Institutes
Strategic Plan. Through this facility, SCI continues
to focus strength and resources on the issues
affecting mariners through innovative practices in
maritime ministry, advocacy and education, seeking
opportunities to bring them to scale around the
globe. SCI continues to provide seafarer advocacy for
the Oakland center as requested.
 On behalf of the entire family, I would like to thank you and the Seamens
Church for all the support you continue to give us and all the families. It makes
such a big difference to us to know that people are there for us and we are

DEDICATION Youre truly a blessing to me in my most difficult times ...thank you.
Family member of seafarer lost on the El Faro
October 1, 2016 marked the first anniversary of the
tragic loss of 33 seafarers on the SS El Faro during
Hurricane Joaquin. To observe the occasion, two
commemorations took place in Jacksonville, Florida,
the ships home base during its weekly runs to
Puerto Rico. Four hundred family members, USCG
officers, and local industry representatives attended
the services.
SCIs President and Executive Director, the Rev.
David M. Rider, acted as Master of Ceremonies at
the second commemoration, a dedication of the
El Faro Memorial at Dames Point Park. The bronze
lighthouse memorialEl Faro means lighthouse in
Spanishincludes the names of all the seafarers who
perished, and a beam of light that points southeast
toward Puerto Rico.
SCI was honored to coordinate the El Faro Relief
Fund, providing much-needed support to the families
of those lost, and in the process forming close bonds
with them. Through December 31, 2016, generous
contributions totaling in excess of $606,000 were
received by the Relief Fund. In December, SCI
concluded the short-term support phase of the
Fund. The remaining funds will be disbursed in 2017
to 529 college savings plans for surviving children,
including a set of twins born just six months after the
tragedy occurred.

 THE REV. MARJORIE LINDSTROM RETIRES FROM SCI
In late 2016 after 11 years with SCI, the Rev.
Marjorie Marge Lindstrom retired as Senior Port
Chaplain based in Port Newark. Marges father also
worked for SCI as a chaplain, and therefore it was
no surprise when Marge found herself drawn to
the port after her own ordination. It isnt always
easy, and over the years Marge had to deal with her
fair share of inclement weather, language barriers,
and the ever-difficult task of comforting seafarers
who have experienced the loss of a crewmember.
The rewards, however, are great. Marge loved the
chance to meet people from all over the world, and
some of her dearest memories are of the hospitality
shown to her by mariners. Ill miss that camaraderie
just being out there in the diversity of cultures.
It has fed my soul, and I will bring that with me
wherever I go.
As Marge sees it, being an SCI chaplain is an honor
and a privilege, and we are grateful to Marge for her
ministry over the past eleven years.

MARGE LINDSTROM RETIRES

Working for SCI, I loved my years of helping to make the people

on the fringes and thats what the seafarers are visible.
We treat them with the dignity that they deserve as human
beings, so theyre not just a commodity on board ship.

THANKFUL FOR THE GENEROSITY
OF STANLEY YOUNG
It all started with two dollars in 1953. Stanley
H. Young, Jr., 28 years old and two years out of
his service in the U.S. Navy, gave the Seamens
Church Institute (SCI) a gift of $2 (which is worth
approximately $18 today). Not a huge gift, but one
from the heart.
Eleven years later in 1964, Stanley made his second
gift to the Institute, this time for $25. Thereafter,
Stanley gave an annual gift to SCI for the next 49
yearsnever missing a single one. His gifts grew as
his career with IBM flourished.
Stanleys Navy service gave him a taste for life on
the water. Born and raised in New York City, he
was drafted and served from 19431946, receiving
many awards for his service.
For more information regarding the Roper Legacy Society, or to notify us of your estate plans, please visit
seamenschurch.org/planned-giving, or contact Jennifer Koenig Breen, Director of Development,
at(212)349-9090 or jbreen@seamenschurch.org.
No one currently working at SCI ever met Stanley.
He lived a quiet and private life, shying away from
events and public gatherings. Always thoughtful,
he declined our invitations to events and meetings,
avoiding public acknowledgement of his generosity.
Stanley died in 2014 and made SCI a beneficiary
of his estate, along with two other organizations.
As a result, in 2016 SCI received a generous gift of
$350,000. This impressive legacy gift funds SCIs
Future of Mariners Campaign, strengthening SCIs
ability to serve seafarers in the future. We hope
Stanley would be pleased. He understood the
difficulties of life as a seafarer.
Gifts like Stanleys to the Roper Legacy Society

CENTER FOR SEAFARERS RIGHTS:
CASE STUDY

The Center for Seafarers Rights provides free legal advice and assistance to merchant mariners
worldwide. Some of the most forgotten merchant mariners are those who crew private
yachts. When yachts engage in commercial activities they are treated like commercial vessels.
Unfortunately, some yacht owners and crews remain unaware of their respective obligations
and rights.
A February 2016 case illustrates this point. CSR received an email from a seafarer on a private
yacht asking for our advice and assistance. She had been hired in July 2015 in British Columbia,
Canada to work as the cook on an American-flagged private yacht, and she was dismissed in
Antigua in December 2015, without having been paid her December wages. In addition, she had
not been provided a written contract. The seafarer emailed several requests to the owner asking
to be paid her wages. She contacted SCI after her requests went unanswered.
Upon investigation, we learned that the vessel was sometimes chartered (owners often charter

The men and women who have chosen to become mariners lead lifestyles that challenge
their skills, their families, and even their faith. ACBL is committed
to creating a culture of safety, performance, and engagement.
As a Sustaining Sponsor of the Seamens Church Institute, were
able to provide access to state-of-the-art technology to help us build
the navigational skills of our pilots and captains. Support services
are also available to our river men and women that go far beyond
technical instruction. We have an opportunity to partner with SCI in
a way that yields a safer, more productive, and engaged mariner.
