How to be ready for inspection LT Kyle Reese
How to be ready for inspection • Annual/COI • Ready to get underway for drills (crew present) • Documents collected and organized including license • All equipment in standby ready to be energized • (Nav equipment, Fire pump, etc) • Lifejackets pulled out ready to be counted & inspected • Ready to test bilge (min 1 space for annual, all spaces for COI)
How to be ready for inspection • Drydock • Vessel blocked (high enough to get under) • All spaces open and ventilated • All bilges clean and free of debris and oily water • Pull all thru-hull fittings except ball valves that can be seen operating from underneath
How to be ready for inspection Pre inspection check list has been developed to aid you in preparing for the inspection. We have reserved the top slots on of the checklist for our commonly found deficiencies. All items include CFR cites for T-boats. Those cites should be used in conjunction with the list to ensure your vessel is in full compliance Any questions while preparing for an inspection just call the scheduling phone (215) 908-9827

Electronic Charts • Newly developed NVIC 1-16 allows for electronic charts providing the following conditions are met: • Charts must be official charts • Redundant arrangement (two equivalent systems with separate power supply's) or full up to date paper charts • Proper Crew training • Must be integrated with GPS, Radar, Gyro Compass, and AIS if applicable to the vessel
Electronic Charts • Publications required may be maintained in electronic format provided that they are derived from the original source, currently corrected/up-to-date and readily accessible on the vessels bridge. • If electronic publications are used the vessels must retain a redundant copy in the form of a second computer, CD, paper, or portable mass storage device which is readily displayable to the navigation watch.
AIS Requirements LTJG James Dunbar
AIS: What is it? • Automatically provides vessel information, including the vessels identity, type, position, course, speed, navigational status and other safety-related information to appropriately equipped shore stations, other ships, and aircraft; • Automatically monitors, tracks, and receives such information from similarly fitted ships; & • Exchanges data with shore-based facilities. • There are two types of AIS devices: A & B.
AIS Requirements 33 CFR 164.46 AIS Class A Device: - A self-propelled vessel of 65ft or more in length, engaged in commercial service. • A self-propelled vessel that is certificated to carry more than 150 passengers. • A self-propelled vessel that operates in a VTS zone.
AIS Requirements 33 CFR 164.46 AIS Class B Device: • US Coast Guard type approved AIS class B device is permissible on the following vessels: - A self-propelled vessel of 65ft or more in length, engaged in commercial service that are certificated to carry less than 150 passengers, - Vessels that DO NOT operate in a VTS zone, - Vessels that DO NOT operate at speeds in excess of 14 Knots
VHF-Digital Selective Calling (DSC) Requirements Required one year after US declares A1 sea area Compliance Date: 20 January 2016 47 CFR 80.901 – Applicability 47 CFR 80.905 – Required Equipment Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) Requirement
Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) • The DSC calling identity is the nine digit Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) that is assigned by the FCC • To obtain a MMSI: • Boat U.S. www.boatus.com 1-800-395-2628 • Sea Tow www.seatow.com 1-800-4-SEATOW • U.S. Power Squadrons www.usps.org/php/mmsi/ • MUST BE PROGRAMMED IN YOUR RADIO
DSC Installation The Coast Guard urges, in the strongest terms possible, that you take the time to interconnect your GPS and DSC-equipped radio. Doing so may save your life in a distress situation! Before interconnecting your radio & GPS consult the owner's manuals.

Marine Casualty Reporting CWO Andy Schock
NAVIGATION AND VESSEL INSPECTION CIRCULAR NO. 01-15 TITLE 46, CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS (CFR), PART 4 MARINE CASUALTY REPORTING PROCEDURES GUIDE WITH ASSOCIATED STANDARD INTERPRETATIONS How the NVIC affects you! Steamer Sultana Fire and explosion, April 27, 1865 Mississippi River
The Theme • Provide improved service delivery to • stakeholders • Enhance analysis capabilities • Improve investigation quality • Simplify and streamline investigative • process
The Goal “I’m confident that promulgation of the NVIC will focus industry resources and Coast Guard investigative efforts on the higher priority investigations that lead to critical safety recommendations and alerts” Capt. Jason Neubauer CG INV
The Highlights Remember the exact details are contained in the NVIC !
46 CFR 4.05-1 Over the years we have allseen these types of brochures Our focus is the definition and interpretations related to this section.
Masters discretion Places a slightly higher burden on masters by entrusting them to use some discretion when reporting Determining when a loss of propulsion actually impacts their ability to maneuver When a grounding can be designated as a non-reportable bump-and-go For example……
Hazardous Operating Conditions Mariners will be required to report certain incidents that aren’t a reportable marine casualty. Either a hazardous condition reported to the local CG Sector Command Centers or a Vessel Traffic Service. Or inspection related problems reported to their local OCMI. Typical USCG Sector Command Center
Non-reportable marine casualties that will be reported as a Hazardous Conditions • Falls overboard* • Parasailing towline failures* • Bump and go groundings • * without reportable injury or deaths. Some incidents defined as a “Marine casualty or accident” per 46 CFR 4.03-1 will not meet the criteria in 46 CFR §4.05-1(a) requiring initial reporting and CG-2692 submissions to the Coast Guard.
