🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for notifying the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection (OCMI) about repairs, alterations, or tests affecting pressure parts and vital systems • The difference between routine maintenance (like repainting) and work that can affect safety of boilers/pressure vessels • What it means when a safety device (like a safety valve) is gagged or renewed, and why the Coast Guard might care

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which option involves an activity that could directly affect the safe operation of a boiler or pressure part and therefore might require Coast Guard oversight? • Consider whether simply replacing something with an identical, previously certified part is treated the same as doing a pressure test with safety features disabled. • Think about which action, if something went wrong, would most seriously affect the ship’s ability to safely contain steam/pressure.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR whether hydrostatic tests on boilers/pressure vessels require OCMI notification, especially when safety valves are gagged. • Check if routine dry-docking for painting only is explicitly listed as requiring OCMI notification or if it is treated as normal maintenance. • Confirm whether replacing a superheater safety valve with an identical, Coast Guard–certified one is considered a major alteration/repair or a standard, pre-approved maintenance action.
