• Pop-up messages for additional directions, warnings, and definitions.
• Easy to follow questions that expand dynamically based on user input.
• Validation page which allows for adding, correcting, or modifying answers.
• A customized output (Checklist) which details the necessary conditions for a successful inspection.

If you have questions about how to comply with requirements listed by the job aid please contact your local Officer in Charge Marine Inspection (OCMI), the nearest District Towing Vessel Safety Specialist or the Coast Guard Towing Vessel National Center of Expertise (TVNCOE) for additional clarification.
