North Pacific Fishing Vessel Owners’ Association (NPFVOA) strives to facilitate a high level of safety awareness in the North Pacific fishing fleets. As a nonprofit, membership-based organization, NPFVOA works very closely with regulatory agencies such as the Coast Guard, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), and the Environmental Protection Agency, and keeps its members apprised of issues important to the safety of their crews and vessels.
After more than 34 years of providing safety awareness and education to over 49,000 members of the commercial fishing industry, NPFVOA continues to develop programs that meet its evolving demands. As the commercial fishing industry continues to evolve and the regulations become more sophisticated and complex, NPFVOA will continue to be on the forefront of safety training technology and development.
