NTSB MARINE SAFETY COURSE STILL OPEN FOR REGISTRATION

The National Transportation Safety Board's course, Accident
Investigation Orientation for Marine Professionals (MS 301),
scheduled for October 7-8, 2008, at the NTSB Training Center
in Ashburn, Virginia (near Washington, D.C.), still has
openings for interested mid- to senior-level marine industry
professionals.

The course covers the Safety Board's processes and
procedures during a major marine accident and the role of an
investigation participant or "party". This is the first time
the Safety Board has ever offered this program as a stand-
alone course.
