Renewal delays have gotten so bad that some mariners, and a few companies, have decided to just sail on expired documents that are pending renewal.

The USCG through its own neglect and failure to perform licensing and endorsements in a timely manner to support the needs of the industry, is forcing the industry to go rogue. The USCG has pissed away it’s credibility.
