Title: Cargo Securing on Vessels Operating in U.S. Waters (USCG-2000-7080) | |
Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the cargo stowage and securing rules for U.S. vessels operating in U.S. waters. In addition, it would amend rules to require cargo-securing manuals for U.S. or foreign vessels of 500 gross tons or more on international voyages. Its goal is to reduce hazardous material cargo losses from vessels in U.S. waters. It supports the Coast Guard's strategic priorities of strengthening regimes for the U.S. maritime domain and developing a national capacity for MTS recovery. Market or Regulatory Failure Analysis: Coast Guard regulations need to be updated in this area. Improper stowage or securing of cargo can lead to damage or loss of cargo and affect stability of the vessel. The rules are expected to increase maritime safety and protection of natural resources. The regulation addresses market failure of operators not fully internalizing the marginal benefits of security or the marginal social costs of inadequate environmental protection. | |
