The drug and alcohol testing program guaranteed to meet all of the Coast Guard’s requirements

Welcome to The Maritime Consortium, Inc.

In 2025, as in our previous 35 years, our mission is to guarantee our members 100% compliance with all Coast Guard drug and alcohol testing requirements through the highest quality program available to the marine industry.

Maritime has grown to be the largest and most comprehensive drug testing consortium serving marine small to medium sized businesses, including charterboats, sailing schools, marine towing and salvage firms, and passenger carrying vessels. Since we perform Coast Guard drug testing program services exclusively, we are thoroughly familiar with all of the regulations that apply to the marine industry.

Maritime services all areas of USCG jurisdiction in the United States and the Caribbean as well as U.S Territories in the Pacific.  In doing so, we are contracted with more than 4700 certified collection sites and only use SAMHSA certified drug-testing laboratories.  Finally, our Medical Review Officer is certified for DOT/USCG evaluations with over 30 years experience.

The Maritime Consortium provides all the required paperwork, recordkeeping, random number generation, report submission to the USCG and chain of custody testing required by the regulation. Maritime locates a collection site 30 miles or less from each member to perform all test collections.

If you are looking for a drug testing program to ensure your compliance with all applicable random drug testing regulations, we invite you to join us and our pool of over 12,000 members.

To enroll in the Maritime Consortium, please complete an enrollment application for yourself and crewmember(s). You will receive a certificate of compliance, an identification card for each enrolled employee, and a consortium information booklet which includes Employee Assistance Program materials and procedures.
