The Coast Guard and the American Boat & Yacht Council have opened registration for the next webinar in the risk-mitigation series: “Navigating Compliance in the Age of Evolving Technology.”
It’s scheduled for Nov. 1 from 2 to 4 p.m. (ET). ABYC and Coast Guard experts will explore the future of Coast Guard factory visits; sustainability practices, including lithium-ion batteries and alternative fuels; and product-compliance measures.
“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,” Jeff Ludwig, chief of the Coast Guard’s Recreational Boating Product Assurance Branch, said in a statement.
ABYC technical vice president Craig Scholten said testing and documenting products plays a key role as the industry advances. “Today’s products have many more features and are far more complex to evaluate and service than in the past,” he said in the statement. “This event designed to help businesses stay ahead by leveraging accessible compliance tools and resources.”
