Coast Guard Proposes

New Maritime Radio Rules

To Fight Oil Spills

In an effort to reduce marine acci- dents and subsequent oil pollution, the Coast Guard wants all vessels plying U.S. waters to be equipped with radios that can communicate with and receive safety warnings from Coast Guard shore stations and other vessels.

The proposed requirement, man- dated by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, calls for all vessels in U.S. waters to have radios that can oper- ate on VHF-FM Channel 22A. Ves- sels operating in the lower Missis- sippi River must also be equipped with VHF-FM Channel 67.

Most U.S. vessels have these ra- dios, which sell for about $200, but about half of the 6,000 foreign ves- sels visiting U.S. waters each year do not.

A notice published in the Novem- ber 18, 1991, edition of the Federal

Register explains the details of the proposed rule. Copies of the rule may be obtained by calling (202) 267-6740, or by faxing a written request to (202) 267-4624.

MarineSafety Brochure

Describes 18 Training

Courses For 1992

For managers preparing man- power and training plans for next year, MarineSafety International (MSI) has published a brochure de- scribing 18 training courses for deck and engineering officers.

The Marine Safety courses fall into five categories: Bridge Resource

Management, Ship and Tug-Barge

Handling, Radar/ARPA, LNG

Cargo-handling and Steam/Diesel

Engineering. Each course is planned to be a balanced mix of theory, prac- tice and reinforcement of learning.

Dr. Eugene Guest, MSI's direc- tor, said: "This year, as usual, the emphasis in our courses is profes- sional-level quality. We believe that in today's liability-laden environ- ment companies must rely on train- ing to reduce the risk of human error and resulting catastrophic losses.

Our clients are professionals—they demand the best training available, and we have met this requirement for the past 14 years."
