The Coast Guard will no longer charge inspection fees for towing vessels using the Towing Safety Management System (TSMS) option for documenting Subchapter M compliance. The Coast Guard issued a marine safety bulletin April 28 (MSIB 04-22) to inform the public of the change, which was effective as of March 15, 2022. TSMS option vessel owners who have received an invoice for a period after March 15 should not remit payment to the Coast Guard Financial Center, according to the Coast Guard. Because the Coast Guard is currently updating its financial system to suspend the processing of user fees, TSMS option owners may receive a notification that the user fee payment is due, however. Further notice will be sent to correct any discrepancies, the Coast Guard said. |
