About Me
- Dennis Bryant
- After graduating from the US Coast Guard Academy, he served 27 years active duty, retiring as a Captain in 1995. While on active duty, he made three Arctic patrols (and was seconded to the icebreaking tanker MANHATTAN during its Northwest Passage transit in 1969). After law school, he served in a variety of legal assignments, including as the agency’s Law of the Sea Officer. He supervised implementation of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90). This project involved preparation of regulations relating to double hulls for oil tankers and vessel response plans, among others. In 1995, he joined the law firm of Haight Gardner Poor & Havens, specializing in the government regulation of ships. He advised clients worldwide on compliance with international, US, and state laws impacting vessel operation. He published via email to 5,000 readers worldwide the daily newsletter Maritime Items on governmental developments impacting the industry. In 2009, Mr. Bryant moved into maritime regulatory consulting. He continues to publish a daily newsletter, but it is now distributed via the Blog. He writes extensively, speaks at fora worldwide, and is quoted frequently in the trade press.
Wishing you the best of luck Dennis

ReplyDeleteDennis,
ReplyDeleteYou mean that we now have to search for your excellent comments each day? It's as bad as the new Pharaoh demanding bricks without straw? Please keep them coming - including the bits about e.g. Groundhog day, and "This day in history".
Best wishes,

ReplyDeleteIn the past, I always started my day reading your e-mails to "find out who was doing what" as well as enjoying your views of life and historical dates.
Being of a generation and having never "blogged" prior (maybe I should ask my 11-year old son how?), I look forward to joining you on your most recent voyage and look forward to many enlightening discussions.
Wishing you all the greatest of successes,
Don Toenshoff, Jr.
