TVIB Training Update: Annual Survey of Towing Vessels Course to be held Virtually

Due to the rise in COVID cases and the impact the Delta variant is having across the nation, TVIB realizes some people may not feel as comfortable traveling to attend a class. With this in mind, TVIB has decided to transition the upcoming ASTV class to be delivered virtually rather than the traditional in-person setting. This change will affect this training session only. Any future sessions will be decided on a case by case issue closer to the date of the course. Course registration is still open and course information can be found below.
