Towing Vessel Outreach, Orientation and Indoctrination
What is Towing Vessel Outreach, Orientation and Indoctrination?
This program is designed to complete two goals… Goal one is to Create an effective towing vessel industry orientation
and indoctrination program for all new Coast Guard personnel assigned to Towing Vessel Examinations billets.
Goal two
Create an outreach program designed to effectively communicate the Towing Vessel Bridging Program to all members of the towing industry and Coast Guard
A good working relationship
So the idea is to gain a good understanding of the towing industry by actively participating in this program.
To do this begin by researching a company that has agreed to participate in this program
You can do this by going onto the Coast Guard homeport site.
Where it is all at….
