The Coast Guard National Maritime Center issued a bulletin announcing that, in accordance with Federal Regulations, duplicate Merchant Mariner Credentials may be issued free of charge to mariners whose credentials were lost or destroyed as a result of the recent flooding in Louisiana and neighboring states.

Mariners should contact the National Maritime Center with specific information to obtain an expedited replacement credential.

For more information, please view the entire bulletin.
