I think the "Alaska Ocean" belongs to the Norton Sound's CDQ group, NSEDC. Good luck to this foreign sounding dude(Franz D'Alquen) when he tries to claim compensation for getting injured on the job. It'll turn into a Dog and Pony Show in the court system for years and years and years and years until the Peoples Monies fund breaks him down to accepting peanuts.
Under the jones act he has right to compensation. Best of luck to him.
The Alaska Ocean is owned by Glacier fish, and I am sure that there man will be well taken care of.
Well taken care of the way Bob Pattison was?
Pattison v. Norton Sound Economic Development Corporations No. C09-0754 RSM
Is that you Tim?
No, it's me, Spartacus.
I am Spartacus.
Your both lying I'm Spartacus
I'm Spartacus
I am the real Spartacus.
No you are not. I'm Spartacus
I am Spartacus
None of you know what you're talking about. I grew up with Franz in the United States, no foreigner here. He was a hard working American who leaves his loving family behind, parents, wife, and kids. Research before you speak unkind words and point fingers. Know your facts. The Seattle based Alaskan Ocean is owned by Glacier Fish Co in Seattle, WA. My husband says mister anonymous in the first lengthy comment is a punk!
