IS NOW

Accredited For Commercial Assistance And Professional Towing

C-PORT, and the marine assistance industry, has developed the Accredited for Commercial Assistance and Professional Towing program to recognize the professional who is willing to adhere to high standards of service, training, and equipment.

With the growth of the private towing and salvage industry has come a strong need for assurances of towing industry professionalism and expertise. 

Up until mid-1988, the Coast Guard inspected and qualified the vessels of the industry. But in 1988, the Coast Guard discontinued inspections and the ACAPT (Accredited for Commercial Assistance and Professional Towing) program began.

The ACAPT distinction recognizes the professional who is willing to adhere to high standards of service, training, and equipment. To be certified, a company must meet all the standards on the application and be inspected by another ACAPT certified professional or marine surveyor. C-PORT membership is not required for participation.

ACAPT certified firms are publicized in the boating and industry press, and recognized by major boating organizations. For example, the BOAT/U.S. towing guide highlights the towing firms that meet the ACAPT standards.

AFTER INSPECTIONS, SURVEYS, EQUIPMENT SCRUTINY, VERIFICATION AND MORE, WE HAVE FINALLY PASSED AND BEEN GIVEN THE HIGHEST ACCREDITATION AVAILABLE FOR THIS INDUSTRY!
