USCG Vessel Safety Fair

Post by ata »

Hi All:

The USCG will host a vessel safety fair in Sitka on May 7th geared towards commercial fishing, charter, and recreational vessels. The event will include: Safety Alerts, what to expect when conducting hoisting ops with a Coast Guard helicopter or when being boarded by the Coast Guard, the new VHF Digital Selective Calling system and its capabilities, rules for reporting maritime casualties, marijuana usage on the water and upcoming changes to the commercial fishing vessel safety program. Hands on sessions will include using distress flares, controlling flooding in a damage control trainer, using fire extinguishers, and deploying life rafts. The event will kick off at 8am at the UAS campus on Japonski Island. RSVPs are requested, call USCG at 966-5454.

Safety First...
