SNEED, Circuit Judge:
Cerefino Coloma seeks benefits under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA), 33 U.S.C. §§ 901-50 (1982 & Supp. Y 1987) for permanent disability sustained in the course of his employment with the Chevron Shipping Company (Chevron). Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Karst denied benefits on the basis that Coloma’s occupation of messman and cook was not “maritime employment” under Section 2(a) of the 1972 amendments to the Act. The Benefits Review Board (BRB) affirmed the AU’s decision. We affirm.
