Washington, D.C.-The Coast Guard proposed a revision of training requirements for mariners seeking national Merchant Mariner Credential endorsements as master of towing vessels (limited) or mate (pilot) of towing vessels on inland waters or Western Rivers routes. Under the proposed change, mariners seeking these endorsements would have the option to take a modified basic firefighting course that eliminates training on equipment that is not required to be carried on towing vessels operating on inland waters or Western Rivers.Applicants who take the modified basic firefighting course would reduce their costs due to the courses being shorter and less expensive than the longer basic firefighting courses.For additional information, contact James Cavo at 202-372-1205. |
