University of Alaska Anchorage, in partnership with Alaska Marine Safety Education Association, will offer a two-day fishing vessel safety and drill conductor course at the UAA Chugiak-Eagle River Campus on a monthly basis beginning Dec. 15 to 16.
Other sessions of the class will follow in 2013: Jan. 12 to 13, Feb. 9 to 10, March 2 to 3, April 6 to 7 and May 18 to 19. This course meets the training requirements for commercial fishing vessels. Cost of this course is $189 and includes instruction materials.
Participants practice hands-on in the water and on a vessel with emergency equipment that should be onboard any commercial fishing or other sizeable vessel — PFDs, life rafts, immersion suits, EPIRBs, fire extinguishers and practice emergency procedures like man overboard, abandon ship, firefighting and flooding control.
For more information, contact the UAA Chugiak-Eagle River Campus at (907) 786-7600 or visit the UAA website at uaa.alaska.edu/eagleriver.
