Vote on CAMM Positions and proposals moving CAMM forward. CAMM positions are used as our voice in Congressional matters and International Conventions through IFSMA and the IMO. We will not be editing positions on the floor, so it is imperative that submissions are made prior to April 1 so the committee has time to further research and carefully word statements.
CAMM objects to new changes in the form for physicals.
Reword to include verbiage in line with the FAA. Simplify the form, and occupational health physician to sign off.
Post your comments in the forums.
OPPOSE the Coast Guard’s position that they own the new Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC) / License and can revoke or recall such document at any time without cause as set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations.
The person who has been issued a USCG MMC / License owns that license or document. The license or mariner’s document is surrendered to the Coast Guard only after due process.
2010 AGM attendees voted to send back to Positions Committee to reword. License is the property of the owner; credential is the property of the issuer. The MMC does not contain the word "License."
Post your comments in the forums.Positions committee is in process of wording this view. Please refer to the press release issued by Capt. Hunziker on this topic. Post your comments in the forums.
Please review CAMM’s current positions. Some may have become moot or need amendments due to changes over the last year. Please submit your comments via CAMM’s forums.
The Board of Governors (BOG) has been working on the Strategic Plan presented at the last AGM. The purpose of the Strategic Plan is to set short and long term objectives and goals for CAMM, and keep us on track throughout the year.
The strategic plan outlines the actions required to support our mission, visions and values. The plan encompasses communications and public relations, member sustainability and development, advocacy and education, along with fiscal implications, both costs and benefits, of each.
