A claimant satisfies the "status" requirement if he is an employee engaged in work which is integral to the loading, unloading, constructing, or repairing of vessels. To satisfy this requirement, he need only spend at least some of his time in indisputably covered operations. Although an employee is covered if some portion of his or her activities constitutes covered employment, those activities must be more than momentary or incidental to maritime work.
Courts have held that container repair is essential to the containers' continued use, and is integral to the loading/unloading process. Thus, work repairing containers is consequently, is covered work under the Longshore Act. Thus, if your work regularly concerns repairing shipping containers, you are covered under the Longshore Act if you are working at a maritime situs.
