Marinelog.com reports the Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard is urging Coast Guard boarding officials and regulators to be more professional in their dealings with the maritime community. The official pronouncement is here.
The Commandant reports:
UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE RECEIVED REPORTS FROM HIGHLY RESPECTED
PROFESSIONALS RECOUNTING COAST GUARD BOARDINGS, INSPECTIONS, AND
INVESTIGATIONS NOT DISPLAYING PROFESSIONALISM. ADDITIONALLY, SOME
HAVE SAID THEY LOST THE COMPLETE TRUST THEY ONCE HAD IN THE COAST
GUARD AND ARE FEARFUL OF RETRIBUTION IF THEY CHALLENGE THE COAST
GUARDS CONDUCT.
