The stored new guidance for MARPOL trash placards will NOT impact
the placards you folks supply to our members. Specifically the placards
you are now supplying are 45+ square inches so it already satisfies the
requirement for them to be no less than 40 square inches rather than 36
as is currently the requirement.

7-25-12 The SafetySeal site maintained by the US CG Aux lists VEs by Zip Code for those wanting vessel examinations. The info is gotten monthly with a search of the USPS data base of VE qualified members. If you are no longer an active VE or wish your name NOT to appear in the Safety Seal VE search by Zip Code, please notify the local VSC Chair or myself, Safety/VSC Chair with full name and Cert Number and I'll work to get your name off the list.
7-15-12 When emailing for decals, please include your District # and Squadron name along with a full mailing address - Thank You
