海军指定危险区域，授权为公务员海员支付额外费用
弗吉尼亚州诺福克 – 认识到公务员海员 (CIVMAR) 不可或缺的作用和日常面临的危险，美国海军已正式将几个关键海域指定为危险区域，并授权在这些危险水域执行任务时支付额外费用。

The Hazard Area Premium Pay is retroactive to Feb. 28, 2026, ensuring that CIVMARs who have been operating in the affected areas during ongoing operations in the Middle East will be compensated for their service under hazardous conditions. "Our Civil Service Mariners are a critical component of our total naval force, operating in some of the most complex and contested waters worldwide," said Hon.本杰明·科尔曼 (Benjamin C. Kohlmann)，负责人力和预备役事务的助理海军部长。 "This authorization reflects our steadfast commitment to the civilian workforce. By recognizing the profound risks they assume to protect our national interests, we ensure our maritime logistics remain unmatched."
指定的危险区域包括以下地区对全球贸易和军事行动至关重要的关键水道：
· 阿拉伯湾
· 霍尔木兹海峡
· 阿曼湾
· 阿拉伯海
· 亚丁湾
· 曼德海峡
· 红海
· 东地中海
While most designations remain in effect, the Eastern Mediterranean was considered a hazard area from Feb. 28, 2026 until April 7, 2026.
"Our Civil Service Mariners are the backbone of our maritime logistics, especially during critical operations in the Middle East," said Rear Adm. Ben Nicholson, Commander, Military Sealift Command. “This premium pay designation is a crucial step in recognizing their unwavering dedication and ensuring they are justly compensated for the immense risks they face while keeping our fleet sustained and operational.”
A strict verification process, using the ship’s official navigational log and endorsements from Area Commanders, will ensure pay accuracy and financial auditability while also making sure every eligible mariner receives their entitled premium pay.
