Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written in the hopes that it will encourage more people to join this industry and provide needed information for others. There are numerous books on Tugboats (see appendix 1) but the author had not been able to locate one on Towboats. Everyone loves and remembers the small yet powerful Tugboats primarily because of the association with the much larger vessels that they help maneuver in docking and undocking situations. The Towboat is much less well known and appreciated. Towboats have been around since the eighteen hundreds and are a major part of the United States transportation infrastructure. Probably the reason they are not as well known is that unless you live by a river or the Intracoastal Waterway you may not have ever seen a towboat. They just do their job day after day with very little recognition. Occasionally the news, if you live in a river area, may report that a barge hit a bridge often with little damage. Without the existing barge industry our highways would be even more congested than they are now. There is a move underway to try to expand the use of barge transportation for inland shipping of containers that arrive at our ports. This would certainly be a move in the right direction as you will see by reading this booklet. If you are involved with shipping, responsible for legislation, interested in the 'brown water' marine industry, are looking for a rewarding job, or just plane curious this is the book for you. --Website.

Primer of Towing brings you updated information on the modernization of this growing industry. Offshore coastwise and foreign trade is also seeing a boom. The largest independent carrier of petroleum products in the U.S. is a tug/barge operation. Major growth also is continuous in towing services, such as: - Harbor work, assisting ships to maneuver, dock, and undock in confined waters - Fleeting operations that provide moorings for inland barges - Offshore work in the "oil patch" - Anchor handling by pipe-laying barges - Salvage - Pollution control - Escort towing - Assisting dredging operations - Marine construction - Moving passenger RV tours on inland barges - Assistance towing operations This book provides information on all aspects of towing operations and related subjects.

This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRAA is publishing this guide as a resource for those working in the towing and recovery industry who are not themselves towing operators. In this advanced level, we will expand on the topics previously discussed in the Resource Guide for Support Professionals (Book 1) and build on that knowledge base to introduce new topics specific to higher level support staff such as company safety managers, compliance directors, non-operator company owners, etc. Additionally, this guide may be used a study guide to prepare for the TRSCP(R) Advanced Level certification exam available on www.towcert.com. Background For towing and recovery professionals to effectively do their jobs, they rely on other industry professionals serving in supportive roles who are not themselves tow operators. While many don't work directly on the roadways, support personnel such as dispatchers, scene safety supervisors, compliance directors, and office managers are an integral part of the towing and recovery team. The role of support personnel is critical to effective incident management. Many of these individuals respond to incident sites or work behind the scenes to dispatch equipment and resources that are necessary to facilitate the clearance. They also handle communication, documentation, and track the incident for safety compliance thereby contributing to quick clearance needs. While the TRSCP(R) was developed specifically for the towing and recovery industry, the program is open to all qualified candidates in other associated fields that meet the requirements. If you are an agency dispatcher in law enforcement, 911, TIM, Department of Transportation (DOT), etc. we hope this program will enhance your understanding of the equipment, resources, and logistics necessary for an efficient towing and recovery response and, thereby, increase interdisciplinary communication. If you are a non-agency party that may be present at an incident scene (such as Public Information Officers (PIO), media, fleet safety directors, and insurance adjusters), we hope this will expand your knowledge base of incident management and quick clearance. These materials are intended for educational purposes only.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Loss of situational awareness has been cited as the most common cause of accidents in the maritime industry. However, current research has not proven beneficial in determining the factors that underpin situational awareness. This study examined situational awareness among licensed captains and pilots of the inland towing industry. Twenty towboat captains, who operate on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) from New Orleans, LA to Houston, TX and who represented 16 towing vessel companies, were interviewed and participated in an integrated survey that explored fatigue, communication, dangerous drugs and alcohol, social stress, and mental workload. These factors were believed to have a direct influence on situational awareness among towing vessel captains. These factors were compared and resulted in the identification of mental workload as the predominant factor affecting situational awareness. Upon further examination of mental workload, it was found that loss of situational awareness is likely to occur when a towing vessel captain is distracted by a cell phone conversation with their company or steers his or her tow in the vicinity of recreational vessels. In addition, the results also indicated complacency potential, a function of attitude toward automation and perception of mental workload. It was concluded that outreach and education to recreational boaters, establishing procedures for business conversations, navigation simulators, drills, and strategic thinking could be effective counter-measures against the loss of situational awareness induced by mental workload. Further research that measures the impact of those distractions or examines the effectiveness of such counter-measures in reducing the potential for loss of situational awareness is needed "--Abstract.
