MARINE SAFETY SERVICES
“SUBCHAPTER ‘M’ IS HERE! And Marine Safety Services is here to help you navigate through the maze of new regulations for your specific towing vessels. Decades ago, Congress mandated that the U.S. Coast Guard promulgate some of the most comprehensive and sweeping regulatory changes to come down onto one specific segment of the maritime industry, during its long history of maritime regulatory oversight. As of July 20, 2018, Towing vessels must now be in full compliance with complex requirements of Subchapter “M” and this will have a profound effect on your business moving forward.
At Marine Safety Services, we will provide customized solutions to our clients at affordable rates. We offer services specifically tailored to those companies electing to use the Coast Guard Option by working directly with the local U.S. Coast Guard (OCMI) on your behalf, as well as preparing you for their in-depth inspection process. This will assist you by cutting out the third party option, saving you valuable time and resources. The U.S. Coast Guard Sectors will be issuing your Certificate of Inspection (COI), regardless of which option you chose.
Call us today to see how we can help you navigate toward compliance!”
U.S. COAST GUARD CERTIFIED TOAR ASSESSMENTS
We offer you the assistance and guidance needed for credentialing officers of towing vessels. Maritime TOAR Assessments provides mariners a platform to complete your mate/master towing endorsement. In partnership with the Northeast Maritime Institute, a co-educational Maritime College, we provide USCG approved, shore-side full bridge simulator training and assessments. We offer mariners the assistance to complete all TOAR assessments in the presence of a designated examiner:
- Inland TOAR Requirements
- Western Rivers TOAR Requirements
- Near Coastal/Ocean TOAR Requirements
One of the best methods to obtain this endorsement for those mariners who already possess a mate or masters license, is a completion of a TOAR at Maritime TOAR Assessments.. The Towing Officers Assessment Records (TOAR) is a document that lists tasks to be performed or explained (as appropriate), in the presence of a designated examiner.
