Along with a new, concentrated inspection campaign focused on fire safety on small passenger vessels, the Coast Guard announced some vessels initially certificated prior to 1996 that carry 100 or more passengers will be subject to in-service inspection to verify certain arrangements and procedures. That announcement was included in Marine Safety Information Bulletin (MSIB) 05-23, Fire Safety on Small Passenger Vessels, which also encourages owners and operators to perform a self-assessment of their vessels' fire safety. For more information, contact CG-CVC@uscg.mil. President Joe Biden, as expected, wasted no time in vetoing H.T. Res. 27 that would have blocked his administration's Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule. (The rule, however, was blocked in 24 states by a judge in North Dakota April 12-see story, Page 8.). |
