The Responsible Carrier Program was established to define the best industry practices in the areas of company policies, vessel equipment and personnel. The RCP guidelines have been developed based on the unique operational environment specific to the towing industry. Adequate training for all crewmembers is a mainstay of the RCP provision and providing documented training records is imperative to pass the stringent third party audit process.
