About > About Richard Plant
Richard Plant has over 27.5 years of teaching experience in the maritime industry. Richard began his teaching career by spending 3 years at Texas Maritime Academy in Galveston, Texas and then the next 24.5 years at MITAGS - the International Organization of Masters, Mates and Pilots (IOMM&P) world class Conference/Training facility, located in Linthicum Heights, Maryland. Richard has earned his reputation developing and teaching numerous courses at MITAGS. Richard holds an Unlimited Chief Mate License - AGT - 8th issue of his license. Richard is also known for his 1975 editions of "The Multiple Choice Study Guides for 3rd and 2nd Mates" and "The Multiple Choice Study Guides for Chief Mates and Masters". Both were published by Cornell Maritime Press, and stopped being produced in the late 1980's, once the National Maritime Center (NMC) made available to the public, under the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), the actual USCG questions utilized for all levels of license exams. Richard also published, through Cornell Maritime Press, "The Formulae For The Mariner", which is still available. Richard brought together both his knowledge and skill in teaching and computer programming, utilizing Access 97 and 2003, to develop a sample database program from which LAPWARE was developed. But Richard Plant could not do it alone! Richard needed someone with present knowledge of the NMC database of exam questions and how to possibly categorize questions. Richard turned to the most knowledgeable person in the industry, Captain Joseph Murphy from Massachusetts Maritime Academy, author of the Deck Guide Books.
