The Committee on the Marine Transportation System COVID-19 Work Group (C-19 WG) has published three reference catalogs to assist U.S. merchant mariners and the Marine Transportation System.

The catalogs are listed below:

• “Catalog of COVID-19 Federal Guidance and References for the U.S. Maritime Industry” 
  
• “Catalog of COVID-19 Best Management Practices for the U.S. Maritime Industry”
  
• “Catalog of Mental Health Resources for U.S. Merchant Mariners and Critical Workforce in the Marine Transportation System”

The CMTS Coordinating Board Chair RDML Richard Timme, Assistant Commandant for Prevention Policy, U.S. Coast Guard and RDML Mark Buzby, Administrator, Maritime Administration, led the formation of the COVID-19 Work Group (C-19 WG) to provide a forum for enhanced interagency collaboration and joint initiatives to support the MTS under and after the pandemic.
