““a big part” of his job was to serve as a lookout, cargo stower, line handler, and occasional pilot when the barge was being moved — all of which are clearly seaman’s duties — and only devoted 10% of his time to carpentry. He also stated that more than 80% of his time was spent onboard the barge where “most” of the work involved crewman and deckhand duties.”

Cabral presents no evidence showing that he was ever aboard Barge 538 when it was anywhere but the Ford Island Ferry project.... Furthermore, Cabral presents no evidence showing that he would continue to work aboard Barge 538 after the Ford Island Ferry project was completed.”
