Since 2017, the Maritime Throw-down (MTD), founded by Capt. Kenny Brown, has promoted safety, professionalism and line-handling excellence on the inland waterways. What started as a small-yet-lively event almost five years ago at the Lamar Dixon Expo Center in Gonzales, La., has grown into a thriving community of mariners from all around the country-and a growing collection of partner companies-who are all committed to safety and excellence and to crew members learning their craft. And the competition is still fierce. This year, MTD has placed three regional qualifiers on the calendar, with the final event to be held at the Inland Marine Expo (IMX) in Nashville May 31-June 2. A regional qualifier took place earlier this month in Houston, with two more to follow in Paducah, Ky., on April 15 and in New Orleans on April 22. |
