With the Coast Guard's Subchapter M requirements for certificates of inspection fully in effect, companies are now taking a closer look at required credit drydock inspections and internal structural exams. To help get a better look at how far the industry has come toward meeting requirements so far and preparing for those in the future, the Inland Marine Expo, hosted by The Waterways journal May 31-June 2 in Nashville, Tenn., included a panel discussion "Subchapter M: Lessons Learned and the Future." Panelists were Jamie Bigbie, vice president of operations, river division, at Southern Devall Towing; Mark Sawyer, marine operations compliance, Marathon Petroleum Corporation; and Tava Foret, president and co-founder, Towing Vessel Inspection Bureau. The session was moderated by Robert Keister, Cmdr., USCG (Ret.), vice president of Sabine Surveyors Ltd. |
