Title: Cargo Securing on Vessels Operating in U.S. Waters | |
Abstract: This rulemaking would adopt new requirements for cargo-securing manuals (CSMs) on U.S. vessels of 500 gross tons or more on domestic and international voyages and for foreign vessels of 500 gross tons or more operating in U.S. waters on international voyages, which carry cargo other than solid or liquid bulk cargo. The regulations would apply provisions on the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, (SOLAS) to such vessels on international voyages by requiring them to carry and comply with a CSM that meets both U.S. and international standards. In addition, specific reporting requirements for general and containerized cargo lost or jettisoned at sea will be included to establish a means to capture data concerning lost cargo. The rule would reduce the loss of cargo, including hazardous materials, in U.S. waters, as well as reduce injuries related to cargo container accidents. In addition, this rule would enable the Coast Guard to better identify, track, and warn mariners of the threat to navigation posed by cargo lost at sea. Reducing cargo lost in U.S. waters supports the Coast Guard's broad roles and responsibilities of maritime stewardship and safety. | |
