Way too little. Compared to even-time, 4-and-2 is still laughable. Better than 4-and-1, but still laughable. It’s also really dumb that they don’t hire limited-tonnage mariners for the vessels on which those licenses would be applicable (the tugs and salvage vessels). MSC is their own worst enemy. These changes will barely amount to a drop in the bucket towards fixing their problems. I’m tempted to say that I hope someone in MSC management is reading this, but I genuinely don’t believe any of them are that situationally aware. Government at its finest.
