TWIC requirement
"Messing In Boats" wrote in message
... Here's the website with the FAQs that state the TWIC is mandated for all credentialed mariners who use their USCG licenses. http://www.tsa.gov/what_we_do/layers...s.shtm#general I wrote a letter to my Senators and congresswoman complaining about how ridiculous it is for us to be required to pay either $102.25 or $132.50 to haul folks around for hire on our own boats. And this has something to do with homeland security or is it just to line the pockets of some contractor? It states that the USCG and TSA may get together on this to prevent needless duplication of the merchant mariner documentation and the TWIC, but in the meantime we have to go through both processes if your license happens to expire this year. I don't believe you're exempt if your license doesn't expire. If that's the case, please point us to such information. I believe you have to get one either way if you have a license. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
