Whenever an inspected vessel is dry-docked for major repairs, who should the person in charge of the vessel, the owner or the agent report this to? (small passenger vessel regulations)
• Small passenger vessel inspection authority under 46 CFR Subchapter T • Who has responsibility for approving and overseeing repairs and drydocking on inspected vessels • Difference between government regulatory bodies and private organizations/industry groups
• Which of these choices actually has legal authority to require inspections and approve repairs on U.S. inspected small passenger vessels? • Are any of these organizations private or advisory groups rather than enforcement/regulatory authorities? • If a regulation says you must "report" something about the condition of an inspected vessel, which type of office or organization would logically receive that report?
• Verify in 46 CFR Subchapter T who the inspection and compliance contact is for small passenger vessels • Check whether the American Boat and Yacht Council and National Cargo Bureau are regulatory/enforcement agencies or private organizations • Confirm which single office is repeatedly named in the regs as the point of contact for inspections, drydocking, and major repairs
