The Vessel Safety Check Program
The Vessel Safety Check Program, was formerly known as Courtesy Marine Examinations (CME's). In 1999, the Auxiliary signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the United States Coast Guard that put the USCG Auxiliary in charge of overall operation and administration of the Vessel Safety Check Program. It also allowed for the expansion of the program to other organizations. The Auxiliary turned to the United States Power Squadrons as a logical partner.
On 29 January 2000, the USPS Chief Commander Arthur H. Farr signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary (USCGAUX) to participate in the Vessel Safety Check Program (VSCP).
Beginning 1 May 2000 the new VSCP, Vessel Safety Check Program was launched nation wide by the USCG Auxiliary and United States Power Squadrons. Our squadron has been actively involved with this program since it's inception.
s, in the year 2001 an agreement was reached with thr decals for vessels that past the GRDA requirements. This arrangement is still in effect.
