Coast Guard Forms Chemical Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC)
Posted on 6/14/2011 by James Griffin
The U.S. Coast Guard is establishing a Chemical Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAC) to advise the Department of Homeland Security and the Guard on the safe and secure transportation of hazardous materials in bulk.
The Committee will include up to 25 members from chemical manufacturers, marine transport operators, vessel design and construction companies, marine safety or security companies, and marine environmental protection groups, all of whom are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Secretary of Homeland Security.
The CTAC may conduct studies, inquiries, workshops, and seminars at the direction or under the authorization of the Commandant of the Coast Guard. The unique industry perspective of the Committee will provide critical support to the USCG’s efforts to ensure the safety of the U.S. Merchant Marine.
For more information, see the Federal Register announcement (76 FR 34240).
I was recently offered an opportunity to take my training through another company, but I politely declined. I only attend Lion Technology workshops.

This is a very informative training compared to others. It covers everything I expect to learn and even a lot of new things.

My experience with Lion training, both online and in the classroom, is that they are far better organized and provide a better sequential explanation of the material.

I think LION does an excellent job of any training they do. Materials provided are very useful to my day-to-day work activities.

The instructor was probably the best I ever had! He made the class enjoyable, was humorous at times, and very knowledgeable.

I like Lion's workshops the best because they really dig into the information you need to have when you leave the workshop.

The instructor created a great learning environment.

I was able to present my scenario to the instructor and worked thru the regulations together. In the past, I attended another training firm's classes. Now, I have no intention of leaving Lion!
