The State of Maine Harbor Masters Association was formed and incorporated in 1985. Annual training sessions have been held since 1986. We urge all Harbor Masters and Deputies to take the basic courses first, and then return yearly for the advanced courses. Effective August 23, 2006, Sec 1.38 MRSA §1-A, a person appointed or reappointed a harbor master or a deputy harbor master must complete the basic harbor master training course within one year after being appointed or reappointed unless that person has previously completed the course.
