Reader Says Personnel Proposal Is A Good One

摘要

I'm writing to correct Joel Milton's misguided article 'Personnel proposal would compromise safety' that appeared in the February issue of WorkBoat (On the Water, page 10).rnThe petition was filed and supported with two main goals: (1) Make it possible for experienced masters of other vessels to transfer to towing vessels and; (2) Not compromise safety.rnI feel that the petition and the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking address both of these goals. The T AC (Towing Safety Advisory Committee) subcommittee that was tasked with reviewing this petition also felt that safety issues were addressed and that safety was not compromised. This subcommittee consisted of members of the Coast Guard, industry, labor, and training facility personnel.
