1 Where length is used in this table it means the length measured from end to end over the deck, excluding sheer. This expression means a straight line measurement of the overall
length from the foremost part of the vessel to the aftermost part of the vessel, measured parallel to the centerline.
2 Subchapters E (Load Lines), F (Marine Engineering), J (Electrical Engineering), and N (Dangerous Cargoes) of this chapter may also be applicable under certain conditions. The provisions of 49 CFR parts 171–179 apply whenever hazardous materials are on board vessels (including motorboats), except when specifically exempted by law.
3 Public nautical schoolships, other than vessels of the Navy and Coast Guard, shall meet the requirements of part 167 of subchapter R (Nautical Schools) of this chapter, Civilian nautical
schoolships, as defined by 46 U.S.C. 1331, shall meet the requirements of subchapter H (Passenger Vessels) and part 168 of subchapter R (Nautical Schools) of this chapter.

5 Vessels covered by subchapter H (Passenger Vessels) or I (Cargo and Miscellaneous Vessels) of this chapter, where the principal purpose or use of the vessel is not for the carriage of
liquid cargo, may be granted a permit to carry a limited amount of flammable or combustible liquid cargo in bulk. The portion of the vessel used for the carriage of the flammable or combustible liquid cargo shall meet the requirements of subchapter D (Tank Vessels) in addition to the requirements of subchapter H (Passenger Vessels) or I (Cargo and Miscellaneous Vessels)
of this chapter.
6 Any vessel on an international voyage is subject to the requirements of the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea, 1974.
7 The meaning of the term passenger is as defined in the Act of May 10, 1956 (Sec. 1, 70 Stat. 151; 46 U.S.C. 390). On oceanographic vessels scientific personnel on board shall not be
deemed to be passengers nor seamen, but for calculations of lifesaving equipment, etc., shall be counted as persons.
8 Boilers and machinery are subject to examination on vessels over 40 feet in length.
9 Under 46 U.S.C. 441 an oceanographic research vessel is a vessel ‘‘* * * being employed exclusively in instruction in oceanography or linmology, or both, or exclusively in oceanographic research, * * *.’’ Under 46 U.S.C. 443, ‘‘an oceanographic research vessel shall not be deemed to be engaged in trade or commerce.’’ If or when an oceanographic vessel engages
in trade or commerce, such vessel cannot operate under its certificate of inspection as an oceanographic vessel, but shall be inspected and certificated for the service in which engaged,
and the scientific personnel aboard then become persons employed in the business of the vessel.
10 Bulk dangerous cargoes are cargoes specified in table 151.01–10(b), in table I of part 153, and in table 4 of part 154 of this chapter.

which must be met will be listed on
Form CG–835, Notice of Merchant Marine Inspection Requirements, and
given to the master of the vessel.

any failure to comply with any applicable requirement of law and/or applicable regulations in this chapter, or any
defects or imperfections become apparent tending to render the navigation of
the vessel unsafe, or that repairs have
become necessary, the Coast Guard will
so notify the master and state what is
required.

such vessel may enter. In such a case,
pertinent plans and/or calculations
may be required to be submitted sufficiently in advance to permit evaluation before inspection.

t is the number of years after prepayment of the fee, for each annual increment (t=0, 1, 2, 3 ... n)
(d) When the annual vessel inspection
fee has been prepaid, the entitlement
to inspection services for the prepayment period attaches to the vessel and
remains with the vessel if it is sold.
The entitlement to inspection services
may not be transferred to any other
vessel.
(e) If a vessel is removed from Coast
Guard certification and the vessel
owner surrenders the vessel’s Certificate of Inspection, the owner may request a refund of the remaining prepayment amount. The annual vessel inspection fee will not be refunded for
the year in which the Certificate of Inspection is surrendered. The request for
refund must be submitted to the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection to
whom the Certificate of Inspection is

vessel.
(b) To prepay the annual vessel inspection fee for a period of three or
more years, the owner must submit a
written request to Commandant (G–
MRP) specifying the vessel identification number and the period for which
prepayment is to be made.
(c) The total of the annual fees for
the requested prepayment period will
be discounted to its net present value
using the following formula:
n
PV = ∑
t =0
R 0 (1 + π )

Where:
PV is the Present Value of the series of

RO is the published user fee of the vessel
i is the interest rate for 10-year Treasury notes at the time of prepayment calculation
is the rate of inflation (based on projected military personnel costs at
the time of prepayment calculation)
n is the total number of years to be
prepaid

(c) The chief engineer shall report
the renewal of fusible plugs in boilers

of delay in the sailing of vessels, and
by bringing about a proper balance between the factors of safety at sea and
the national defense. While it is not
the policy of the Coast Guard to countenance willful violations of the laws
and regulations or negligence in meeting the requirements thereof, neither is
it contemplated that masters who exercise all reasonable efforts to comply
with the requirements in effect be
cited for violations on technical
grounds.

for Waiver Order. The application shall
state the name of the vessel, her employment, the requirements of law or

the representative of any interested
Government agency. The application
shall be made to the Coast Guard District Commander or to his designated
representative at the port or place
where the vessel is located. In any foreign port or place the application shall
be made to the designated representative of the Commandant at such port
or place or if the Coast Guard has not
established facilities in such port or
place to the nearest designated representative of the Commandant at a
port or place where such facilities have

cific types of safety equipment, materials, or installations may be installed
or used on vessels subject to Coast
Guard inspection, or on other described
vessels, motorboats, artificial islands,
and fixed structures.
(b) The Commandant’s approvals are
issued to persons, partnerships, companies, or corporations who offer for sale
specific items of safety equipment, materials, or installations, or intend them
for their own or others’ use. These approvals are intended to provide a control over the quality of such approved
items. The Commandant’s approvals
apply only to those items constructed
or installed in accordance with applicable requirements, and the details as described in the documents granting specific approval. If a specific item when
manufactured does not comply with
these details, then it is not considered
to be approved and the approval issued
does not apply to such modified item.
For example, if an item is manufactured with changes in design or material not previously approved, the approval does not apply to such modified
item. The failure to comply with applicable requirements and details specified in the approval subjects the holder
to immediate suspension of approval as
described in § 2.75–40, and if necessary,
to a public hearing seeking withdrawal
of approval and removal of all such
items from use or installation as provided in § 2.75–50.
(c) The Commandant’s approvals are
issued to qualified holders in the form
of certificates of approval (Form

filed with the Office of the Federal
Register and published in the FEDERAL
REGISTER, or by letters, or by appropriate markings on drawings, plans,
etc. Under the direction of the Commandant, the Chief, Marine Safety and
Environmental Protection is delegated
the authority to exercise the necessary
actions relating to the granting, suspension, cancellation or revocation of
approvals for special items of safety
equipment, materials or installations
required by law in regulation in this
chapter or in 33 CFR chapter I to have
the Commandant’s approval. The authority delegated to the Chief, Office of

any detail from the item as described
in the certificate of approval and referenced material.
(e) A specific Commandant’s approval
granted to anyone, which is described
in a certificate of approval, or a letter,
or marked plans, etc., cannot be transferred to another without a specific
prior authorization from the Commandant. Such a transfer without the
Commandant’s authorization normally
terminates such approval.
