The Coast Guard’s National Maritime Center published an information bulletin to share what caused delays in processing times and inventories for credential applications. The bulletin explains the actions the NMC is taking and what actions mariners and employers can take to help the NMC, and themselves, get their net processing time back to under 30 days, which remains as one of the primary goals at the NMC.

View the information bulletin for further information.
