🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for maintaining the condition of inspected vessels after the Certificate of Inspection (COI) is issued • When machinery or equipment that affects safety must be reported to the Coast Guard • The role and authority of the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection (OCMI)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself whether a refrigeration cooling water pump is considered important to the vessel’s safety or essential systems, or just minor ship’s gear. • Consider whether the Coast Guard only needs to know during scheduled inspections, or immediately when required equipment is changed or modified. • Think about which option best matches how the OCMI is normally notified about changes that could affect the vessel’s inspected condition.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what 46 CFR says about keeping an inspected vessel in the same condition as when the COI was issued, unless the Coast Guard approves a change. • Check whether repairs or alterations to vital systems (like machinery affecting safety or essential services) must be reported right away or can wait until a later inspection. • Confirm how the OCMI is typically notified when significant equipment or system changes are made.
