Conley Marine Services Teams Up With MarineCFO on SubChapter M

Conley Marine Services helps U.S. inland tug owners/operators and their mariners prepare for the new standards of 46 CFR Subchapter M. 

No matter which compliance option each towing company may choose, Towing Safety Management System (TSMS) or the U.S. Coast Guard, Conley Marine Services offers assistance through the transition process by providing: compliance analysis; certificate of inspection (COI) preparation; representation during Coast Guard/Third Party Organization (TPO) inspections; development / revision of safety and operation manuals; documentation for procedures, forms, and checklists; planned maintenance management as well as continuing follow-on support.  

Conley Marine Services has the expertise to guide towing companies and their mariners through Subchapter M training requirements by providing training materials and conducting personnel training as required.

Conley Marine Services: Marine businesses receive optimized support in achieving SubChapter M compliance with the combined resources of Conley Marine Services and MarineCFO.

Towing companies and their mariners must comply with the scheduling of audits and inspections, on-going record keeping maintenance, internal/external audits and surveys, continual systems training, management of change processes, log entries review and various other time-consuming administrative tasks. Conley Marine Services relieves the administrative burden by offering their customers the Vessel 365 and Endurance data management system developed by MarineCFO.

MarineCFO has provided service to the workboat and off shore vessel (OSV) communities for over 20 years, establishing the company as a leader in business management software technology for the U.S. workboat and maritime industry. MarineCFO listened to the concerns voiced by the marine owner/operator community facing SubChapter M deadlines and responded with the Vessel 365 solution to help operators address the challenges of a dynamic operational and regulatory environment with simplicity, affordability and scalability. 

Conley Marine Services: Existing and new MarineCFO users benefit from the companies’ combined services which streamlines data gathering required to uphold SubChapter M regulations.  

The partnership between Conley Marine Services and MarineCFO provides the ideal solution for vessel owners/operators facing upcoming SubChapter M compliance deadlines. The Vessel 365 subscription offers a wealth of template documents, checklists, and preventive maintenance outlines to facilitate the on-boarding process and rapid implementation to meet SubChapter M requirements, ISM regulations, and other customer or industry mandated regulatory and compliance initiatives. The Vessel 365 system was designed specifically for crewmembers and shore-based personnel to implement recordkeeping standards in accordance with SubChapter M requirements.

Conley Marine Services: The relationships cultivated with companies providing the quality and innovation of MarineCFO result in a total solution for marine owners/operators at any stage of meeting SubChapter M compliance.
