The United States Coast Guard (USCG) and American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) have announced a date and opened registration for the next free online USCG/ABYC Risk Mitigation Series. The fifth webinar of the Risk Mitigation Series will be “Navigating Compliance in the Age of Evolving Technology” to be held Nov. 1, 2023, from 2-4 p.m. EDT. Join ABYC and USCG experts as they explore the future of USCG factory visits, sustainability practices including lithium-ion batteries and alternative fuels, and product compliance measures that are vital to thrive in a world of rapid advancement.
“We are thrilled to continue the popular risk mitigation series in collaboration with ABYC,” said Jeff Ludwig, chief of the Recreational Boating Product Assurance Branch at the U.S. Coast Guard. “As the technical landscape continues to evolve, it remains important for our industry to convene at such events to ensure we uphold the highest standards of boating safety.”
“Testing and documenting your products compliance plays a pivotal role as the marine industry advances,” said Craig Scholten, ABYC technical vice president. Today’s products have many more features and are far more complex to evaluate and service than in the past. This event is designed to help businesses stay ahead by leveraging accessible compliance tools and resources.”
