What Our Members Say
“We find value in… AWO’s partnerships with industry [players], especially the Coast Guard and the Corps of Engineers. We’re able to sit down with them at Roundtables and have frank, good discussions with them about policy.”
Matt French, American River Transportation Company (ARTCo)
“We have almost 50 mariners on the water and their safety is absolutely paramount to us. And the relationships we build at AWO meetings, the safety information that we can [implement, and] the help we get from the RCP (Responsible Carrier Program) really helps.”
Shawn Bennett, Baydelta Maritime
