Gsxrnz Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I wonder what the "finer points of Marine Law" are, and more specifically, how the hell is knowing the finer points of those laws going to make the operators any safer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentbkk Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 This was a good seminar, because there were many officers who provided us with useful information" What kind of information ? I just hope for the sake of the tourist season that security will be the main issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benmart Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Complain if the authorities don't provide training and complain when they do. Consider volunteering your maritime safety expertise and get involved with training and education instead of voicing annoyance on TVF. It would mean so much more and actually may make a difference.

You need a work permit to do volunteer work. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
