Rushing Marine's Master - Limited Geographic
License Program is designed to implement a program authorized by a
U.S. Coast Guard policy letter
dated
March 11, 2008. This policy
letter allows for the issuance of a license as Master of Towing Vessels
which is limited in terms of geographic area for which the license would
be valid. |

Companies implementing this program will
benefit from reduced time of service requirements, allowing them to
better recruit mariners into the towing industry and retain qualified
mariners. |

that will be considered for a limited license. No single
