| 摘要： | The Coast Guard celebrates an anniversary this July that is significant for merchant mariners. It was on July 16, 1946, that the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation, which had formerly handled merchant marine vessel documentation and inspection duties, was formally abolished by Reorganization Plan Ⅲ of 1946.The Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation had been established in the Department of the Treasury by an act of May 27, 1936 (49 Stat. 1380). It inherited the functions of the Bureau of Navigation and Steamboat Inspection, Department of Commerce. The bureau enforced laws relating to the construction, safety, operation, equipment, inspection and docu-mentation of merchant vessels. It investigated marine casualties and enforced navigation laws. It collected tonnage taxes and other navigation fees. The bu-reau also examined, certified and licensed merchant vessel personnel.Its duties were formally transferred to the U.S. Coast Guard by Executive Order 9083 on February 28,1942, but the reorga-nization plan made the change permanent. |
