vessel of opportunity boat owners

Guys

If any of your guys where in the vessel of opportunity program there are new stuff happening now where everybody from the looks of things gets another bit of the apple.

There is a big questionnaire to fill out but it will mean an extra pay check from BP if everything goes as planed

http://bp-claim.com/boat-owners-in-v...new-bp-claims/

For people that don't want to read all this here are the highlights

1. You should be paid for standby time also 24/7 while your where hired

2. You should be paid for sitting a the dock waiting to be called

3. If your boat was not decommissioned you should get paid for a period from end of contract until decommission if that never happened then a few month should probably be paid after end charter

4. Judge is ruling on this Friday.

5. We need you to fill out a free case review on www.bp-claim.com talk to the attorney's about your VOO claim. This is all going though the courts not with the GCCF

Its a bit critical that you act on this now as it going on right now and settlement talk will start or has started so get on board with this.

I hope this will help a few people out to get over the winter month.

Thanks
jacob

Update from Friday's hearing:

"Also addressed in oral argument were terms of BP contracts with Vessels of Opportunity (VoO) participants who chartered their boats to BP to work in the cleanup.
Several thousand VoO participants have sued BP, saying BP kept them and their boats on standby, in some instances for several months, but failed to pay their wages or for the charters. Many say BP promised to decontaminate their boats after the work was done, but failed to do so.
During oral argument, Barbier asked for clarification of the contracts the VoO plaintiffs signed and what they expected from BP in return.
Plaintiffs' attorney Clay Garside told the judge; "What we disagree with was BP's attempt to restrict the terms of the charter hire. ... We are contending that everyone that BP put on hire - BP used response terms, 'put to hire,' etc. - now BP is trying to restrict the pay to when the vessel was actually out on the water."
Six test plaintiffs have been chosen for test trials that will begin in January 2012.
There are 63 working days left before the Transocean limitation trial opens, Feb. 27.
The next status conference is set for Dec. 16."
