National Towing Safety Advisory Committee

The National Towing Safety Advisory Committee (TSAC) is a group established by the U.S. Coast Guard that brings together industry experts, government officials, and safety specialists. Its purpose is to develop and recommend standards, safety practices, and policies to improve the safety and efficiency of towing and salvage operations on waterways. By providing guidance and sharing expertise, TSAC helps ensure that towing activities are conducted responsibly, reducing risks to crews, vessels, and the environment.
