This Circular explains the fishing industry vessel Third Party Examinations program. Guidance is provided on how organizations may become 'accepted organizations' or 'similarly qualified organizations' for the purpose of carrying out Commercial Fishing Industry Vessel Regulation compliance examinations. The American Bureau of Shipping, similarly qualified organizations and accepted organizations would supplement the Coast Guard Marine Safety program, as third parties examiners, by providing biennial examinations services for fish processing vessels, as required in 46 Code of Federal (CFR) 28.710, and periodic voluntary examinations of other uninspected commercial fishing industry vessels, when requested by owners. |
