The applicant agrees to participate in the ELECBA Random Drug Testing Consortium in accordance with the Department of Transportation, COAST GUARD, 46 CFR Part 10, Chemical Drug Testing Programs for Commercial Vessel Personnel.

All drug testing/consortium activities are performed by those meeting CFR requirements. As a condition of acceptance of applicants enrollment in the ELECBA Random Drug Testing Consortium – and in full satisfaction of USCG requirements for the establishment of a random testing program intended to provide a reasonable deterrent to workplace drug abuse - consent is hereby given for the program’s Medical Review Officer to concurrently report applicants verified POSITIVE drug test results, if any directly to the applicant and USCG District MSO.

This period of consent shall coincide with the period of applicant’s enrollment in the ELECBA Random Drug Testing Consortium and may be withdrawn at any time upon delivery of applicant’s written notice to the ELEBA.


All New Captain and Mate Applicants must either provide proof of current membership in an approved drug consortium or submit to a Pre-employment Drug Test. For New Captains and Mates requiring a Pre-Employment Drug Test that Test will be $40.00 additional.
