US Coast Guard proposed rules

Post by John Murray »

Working on making some comments on proposed amendments to its commercial fishing vessel regulations,they are due 12/15/08.There is some good things in the notice, I also see some costly changes if things go as proposed.A few things stand out such as cost to fleet isn't address,different risk factors in different fisheries,stability requirements on vessels between 50 and 79 ft.(is 30 to 79 ft.next?)Still working on this so haven't got my comments down yet.Its worth a look at to see if this really fits the small near shore fleet.Because one size does not fit all.The CGnumbers are 46 CFR Parts 26 and 28.CG and DHS
