New law reduces TWIC visits, calls for NMC medical-program review

摘要

Soon mariners will be able to get their Transportation Worker Identification Credential with only one visit to a TWIC center. That's one of the major changes diat mariners will see from the passage of the Coast Guard Reauthoriza-tion Act in December 2012. The new law streamlines the current process under which 2 million transportation industry workers must make two trips to a TWIC enrollment center to pick up and then activate their TWIC card.
