Specifically, the hearing considered the possible impact of various factors on workforce shortage, including wage levels; lifestyle challenges associated with employment in the maritime industry; and training requirements imposed by the Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (“STCW”) Convention.
The testimonies from leaders in the maritime industry can be found at this link:

Additional hearings will be called by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee’s Coast Guard Subcommittee on November 17th .
The participants will include maritime associations, including OMSA, as well as labor groups and educators on maritime crewing and training issues.
