Interpretations of Vessel Tonnage Measurement Regulations

This notice addresses the use of a Marine Safety Center Technical Note (MTN) for interpreting the Coast Guard's vessel tonnage measurement regulations. While the regulations provide the necessary framework for assigning gross and net tonnages and registered dimensions to vessels, detailed interpretations of the regulations must be periodically made and disseminated to organizations authorized to perform tonnage measurement on the Coast Guard's behalf. This notice advises the public on how an MTN on tonnage measurement may be obtained and the process by which this MTN is periodically updated.
