In April, ACN conducted HAZWOPER and equipment training for members of our Vessel of Opportunity (VOO) Program at our Anchorage training facility. The session brought together 14 participants representing seven VOOs from five key Alaska regions: King Cove, Homer, Whittier, Seward, and Bristol Bay.

This training reinforces ACN’s commitment to maintaining a ready, skilled response network with local mariners and vessel owners through continuous hands-on education and regional collaboration.
