Should one boiler on a two boiler vessel suffer serious tube damage, the Officer-in-Charge, Marine Inspection may issue a permit (Form CG-948) to proceed to another port for repair __________.
• 46 CFR requirements for permits to proceed (Form CG-948) • The role and authority of the Officer-in-Charge, Marine Inspection (OCMI) • Conditions placed on a vessel that has sustained machinery/boiler damage but is allowed to move for repair
• Which party must formally request permission before the OCMI can issue any permit? • Does the validity of the Certificate of Inspection alone automatically allow a damaged vessel to proceed, or is a specific permit still needed? • When a vessel is damaged, does the Coast Guard usually restrict carriage of passengers/cargo while moving for repair?
• Carefully read who must make a written application for the permit • Consider whether the OCMI is likely to require multiple conditions (COI status, cargo/passenger limits, and written request) together • Verify in 46 CFR Part 31 or related parts how Form CG‑948 is described and what prerequisites are listed before issuance
