We got it and I need more of every variety but fiberglass...Blame the liberals

[Captain Michael Buffington]

I tried to make us all a buck on the fiberglass boats but they are yanking them. I dont know about the voo program. I really thought this would work for you all. Obama sucks.

Aluminum hull boats 18’ and larger.

Self propelled Barges of various sizes.

Barges in general various uses and sizes, example spud barges, hoper barges, liquid barges, sectional barges etc.

Air Boats various sizes.

Skimming vessels various sizes.

Skimming units (weir or mechanical) either independent or mounted on boat or barges air boats included.

Crew / Utility boats various sizes.

Push Boats various sizes.

70bbl liquid vacuum trucks.

Keep in mind that all larger boats will require the captain to be licensed. Also BP is now requiring all boat captains to have 40 hour Hazwoper training.

100 dollar credit for oil clean up on the site. Again I am sorry for the fiberglass ban but it aint me. Only the captains need the hazwoper at this time and training will be available for free at the site. The benefit of getting it online is you make bank the days you would otherwise be sitting in a class for a week. Takes 2 and 1/2 days and 5 years off your life but a caveman could do it.

The pay is every two weeks and steady through the femf and not bp. I have made an agreement for some of our specialty products and they bought the whole package a few minutes ago. I am still negotiating your pay and will be able to give you a really good number tomorrow. They have preapproved a 90 day contract instead of the usual 30. Make some arrangements if you want to come and I will be in touch.

Good luck with this, not just on a persnal side, but it need's to get done. Why in the world are they not allowing fiberglass boat's? As long as it will haul boom and crew who care's? Moronic "leader's" we have! Frank

Don't pretend to have a full understanding there slick, just responding to your bitching about the liberals foiling the attempts of you and your tuperware fleet of weekend warriers trying to play fly by night marine contractors.--- nothing more.

Glen I'm surprised at your response here.
I always thought seeing an opportunity, starting a company if need be and grabbing on with both hands to take advantage of that opportunity made you an entrepreneur.

Guess I've spent my work life building "tupperware fleets" and fly by night operations. And here I thought I was doing something good. Oh well. It paid good.

Why "no more" fiberglass boat's. What if they are of commercial construction? Just having a hard time understanding how aluminum would do a better job hauling crew and boom. Frank

Just got the call yesterday from VOO Ms. with a fiberglass CC.
Got my MOB# and the last needed class scheduled Mon.
From my observations, this whole thing is a cluster top to bottom no matter their political affiliation.
These programs, whether they originate from BP, Coast Guard or Fed / local agencies need leadership, coordination and focus.
These attributes are embarrasingly absent in the response effort.
