We recognize that the waterways are a shared resource, and we conduct ourselves with a sharp focus on environmental stewardship and public safety. All of our operations are fully compliant with the American Waterways Operators' Responsible Carrier Program, which establishes a standard set of operating principles, practices and guidelines that meet or exceed those currently required by federal law, Coast Guard regulation, or other regulatory authorities. We are proud of our safety record and are committed to making the Responsible Carrier Program a cornerstone of our operating philosophy.
Safety awareness is fundamental to our business. Our formal safety and training programs focus on the elimination of all accidents and injuries. Our on-board audits identify safety risks before an accident or injury might occur. Because we understand the customer, regulatory and financial impact of cargo spills, we have a zero tolerance attitude for cargo releases into the environment. In our competitive industry, our safety record is as important to our customers as it is to our employees. We are in the business of safety because we know that "safety is good business." |
Training, on board audits, and other internal safety initiatives are practiced regularly to ensure the quality of our service as well as our compliance with the American Waterways Operators' Responsible Carrier Program.
