Abstract: Congress promulgated the Commercial Fishing Industry Vessel Safety Act of 1988 (the Act) (Pub. L. 100-424) to reduce the unacceptably high level of fatalities and accidents in the industry. Vessels must comply with the provisions of 46 CFR Subchapter C, Part 25, which apply to all uninspected commercial vessels, and the commercial fishing industry vessel-specific regulations in 46 CFR Subchapter C, Part 28. The statutory authority for the requirements is 46 U.S.C. 2103, 3306, 3316, 4102, Chapter 45, 6104, 8103 and 46 U.S.C. 10603.
