Members
There are four types of membership within the Council of Marine Carriers:
Tier I
Open to any individual, firm or corporation which owns or operates vessels, towboats or barges and employs seagoing personnel.
Tier II
Companies who specialize in one aspect of tug operations such as ship docking and ship escort operations.
Tier III
Companies that own marine assets and are involved in project based marine operations, such as bridge or terminal construction projects, but do not directly employ seafarers.
Tier IV
Asocial membership consisting of non-marine companies, associations and individuals who have an interest in the towboat industry, but do not have an active role in marine operations.
All memberships are voted upon by the CMC Board of Directors. The CMC Board of Directors may declare other firms or organizations to be eligible as a member at any level at their discretion.
All members are encouraged to become involved in Council of Marine Carriers (CMC) activities, particularly by participating in the various committees which are the very core of CMC operations. All CMC member companies receive a discounted registration fee at the Biennial CMC Towboat Conference.
