Professional participation

Operational experience in industry dialogue.

The Passenger Vessel Association (PVA) connects TPWC with the passenger vessel operating community. John Scannell serves as a member of the PVA Regulatory Committee and the PVA Cybersecurity Committee. That participation provides a forum for practical discussion on safety, regulatory challenges and the needs of operators. Membership and professional participation do not imply PVA endorsement of TPWC.

Research & technology

Research and simulation, thoughtfully evaluated.

TPWC is developing data structures that enhance industry trend analysis, connecting operational experience with more consistent safety information. The firm also explores collaborative research and simulation-based training opportunities.
