Training

Taking professionalism and responsibility seriously.

Whether in the company’s training facilities in Coos Bay, Portland, Los Angeles, or Honolulu, or on location in a tug’s galley, training plays an essential role in enhancing the quality and professionalism in everything we do. All employees attend annual training seminars on such topics as on-the-job safety, operations, customer service, and professional development. Managers and supervisors are given specialized training in leadership and management skills.
