Title: ●Alternate Tonnage Threshold For Oil Spill Response Vessels | |
Abstract: The Coast Guard seeks to establish an alternate maximum tonnage threshold, for oil spill response vessels (OSRVs) that are also certificated as offshore supply vessels (OSVs). Establishing alternate tonnage thresholds provides a mechanism for the Coast Guard to regulate vessels under tonnages assigned using the system of the 1969 International Tonnage Measurement (TM) Convention at the option of a vessel's owner. This would help owners avoid the fitting of undesirable vessel design features whose sole purpose is to artificially reduce tonnage assigned under the U.S. domestic measurement system. | |
