🔍 Key Concepts

• Certificate of Inspection (COI) requirements for inspected vessels • Who must have the original COI readily available to the marine inspector • Difference between where business records are kept vs. where regulatory certificates must be carried

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: If a Coast Guard inspector boards the barge itself, where would they reasonably expect to see the COI? • Consider whether the COI is tied to the physical vessel or to the company/office that owns or operates it. • Think about inspections on a tow: does every vessel in the tow rely on the towboat’s paperwork, or does each inspected vessel have its own documentation?.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which specific vessel the COI is issued to (towboat vs. barge). • Confirm that a COI must be available on board the inspected vessel for examination. • Check whether regulations talk about keeping the COI in an office ashore or posted/kept on the vessel itself.
