MUST READ IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
  • This form is to add an individual, whose employment involves working out on the ocean in any one of several US commercial offshore industries, to our waitlist for a free PLB-Personal Locator Beacon, assuming all required information is provided and meets review.
  • Sending you a free PLB depends on how many donations we have received from others. No donations, no PLBs.
  • Expect to wait at least 1 year, so if you and yours can save and afford to purchase a life-saving PLB, do the right thing and DO NOT submit a request for a free one from us. Order one online as soon as possible from ACR or McMurdo.
  • YOUR REQUEST WILL BE DENIED if one of these specific official U.S. offshore worker identifications below is not provided along with any additional identification requested. Do not submit a request without including one cell phone photo of one of these sets of identification:
    • BOSIET/FOET OPITO-approved certification card issued by a U.S. training facility (a paper certificate instead of a card MUST include the cert number and your U.S. State issued drivers license or U.S. Passport in the same photo as well. Your cert number and name will be verified in the OPITO database.)
    • HUET/THUET OPITO-approved certification card issued by a U.S. training facility (a paper certificate instead of a card MUST include the cert number and your U.S. State issued drivers license or U.S. Passport in the same photo as well. Your cert number and name will be verified in the OPITO database.)
    • MMC BOOKLET issued by the U.S. Coast Guard
    • Commercial Fishing License issued by the U.S. (or a U.S. State) Fish and Wildlife Service (your U.S. State issued drivers license or U.S. Passport must be included in the same photo)
    • Crew member license issued by a U.S. State (your U.S. State issued drivers license or U.S. Passport must be included in the same photo, if the license doesn't not include your photo)
    • 1099 from no later than last or current calendar year issued by a verifiable commercial fishing business as proof of Commercial Fishing Deckhand employment (your U.S. State issued drivers license or U.S. Passport must be included in the same photo)
  • All data is required to get on the waitlist.
  • Only one request per offshore worker.
  • Requests are processed on a first come, first serve basis.
  • If your request is approved and your identification expires while you're on our waitlist, we will email you for an image of your renewed id, as it is required to mail you a PLB.
  • This form can be filled out using a smart phone or a computer.
  • After your application is reviewed, which could take weeks depending on the request volume, you will receive a confirmation email of waitlist acceptance or denial.
