摘要: |
The inland waterways towing industry and the U.S. Coast Guard have made great strides to improve safety and manage risk in a collaborative manner through better practices, initiatives, and open communication. Both entities share common concerns and goals regarding safety of mariners and all users of waterways, stewardship for the environment, and the need to effectively and efficiently transport cargo on the inland waterways for national and international commerce. This article provides an overview of recommendations made by the Marine Casualties Natural Work Group (NWG) to improve uniformity and consistency in the application and interpretation of pertinent regulations and policies that address issues of marine casualty reporting, investigations, and enforcement in Western Rivers. |
