Pandemic Information & Resources for the Towing Industry
AWO is committed to providing resources for you as your companies, our industry and our country navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. This means ensuring you have access to critical health and safety information and official government and public health guidance to enable informed decision making as the COVID-19 challenge progresses and evolves. The resources linked on this website can help you take steps to protect vessel crewmembers and other employees from COVID-19 and respond to suspected cases of COVID-19 as you work to move maritime commerce safely and steadily in support of our national economy.
AWO will continue hosting member forums to provide members an opportunity to speak with fellow AWO members about COVID-19 prevention and response strategies. Emails will be sent with the connection information. If you would like information on upcoming meetings, please email cstewart@americanwaterways.com or dmarron@americanwaterways.com for meeting information.
