CLICK HERE TO REGISTER NOW!
The Coast Guard’s recently issued MSIB 09-20 allows for extensions of audit and survey activities, as well as the use of remote inspection techniques to verify vessel compliance.
How do you as an operator determine which activities you should request extensions for, versus trying to schedule an audit or survey remotely? Which compliance dates do you need to focus on during the next 60 days? What are some of the tools available to you to conduct audits virtually?
During this webinar, TVIB staff will help you understand the process for requesting an extension of an audit or survey, provide direction on our expectations for acceptable ways to conduct annual surveys and audits using remote inspection techniques, and answer your questions about these new options.
We will be recording the webinar and sharing it on our website for those who are unable to participate. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
