The Benefits To Joining MMCA?
MMCA members have become in such high demand among employers
that we are able to start working to set a minimum salary level for all members based
on license and experience.
We can do this because employers are getting assurance that our members are true professionals, with perfect
safety records, who have a "Code Of Ethics" and NOT "paper captains".
EMPLOYERS ARE STARTING TO DEMAND MMCA CERTIFIED
CAPTAIN'S AND CREW
Speaking of "paper Captains", we know that schools are putting out tons of Captain's but its always in the best
interest of the Employer to limit their exposure to liability. The best way to do that is to have experienced,
professional Captain's whose license record has been checked.
CUSTOMERS ARE NOW ASKING FOR MMCA CERTIFIED CAPTAIN'S AND CHARTER BUSINESSES! OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION PROGRAM
HAS REACHED MANY THOUSANDS OF POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS.
We have worked very hard to get the word out to customers that there IS a difference in Captain's.
Customers use to just walk on board, trust the Captain and Crew with their lives and just trust that
it was a professional crew. NO MORE. Due to our "Public Education" program, customers are now asking
for the safety record of the Captain or is the Captain MMCA certified.
USCG KNOWS AN MMCA BOAT WHEN THEY SEE ONE.
The MMCA works very closely with the USCG inspectors in their various regions. Like the professional Captain's, the USCG is
frustrated with people getting hurt or killed from Captain's who either don't take their job seriously, lied about their sea time,
or who have little or no experience.
MMCA officers were asked to train a crew for live terrorist training drills in an effort to get a ship passed inspection.
Here is what the USCG had to say at inspection time.
"Captain, this is one of the most WELL TRAINED CREW WE HAVE SEEN IN A LONG , LONG TIME. THANK-YOU."
The MMCA officers and members are well known to the USCG inspectors. They know the MMCA is a self governing
organizations that demands professionalism and the absolute best out of its members.
*******The bottom line is this approach SAVES LIVES EVERY YEAR. LIVES THAT CAPTAIN AND CREW ARE TRUSTED WITH ******
TO DATE, NO MMCA MEMBER HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT, INCIDENT OR BEEN FINED.
