The Fall 2018 session of Brownwater University will take place October 30 and 31, with an option simulator session on November 1.
For the past decade, marine transportation stakeholders in conjunction with the U.S. Coast Guard in the Houston region, have developed and presented a two-day curriculum covering:
- U. S. Coast Guard regulatory practices;
- The Business of Towing;
- Role of regional and national stakeholder organizations;
- Brownwater vetting requirements;
- U.S. Coast Guard waterways management issues.
The material is presented by professionals from local U. S. Coast Guard units and inland towing operator personnel. An optional half-day of simulator time is offered to all attendees.
