Inspection of Towing Vessels

In the recently enacted Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2004, the Congress directed the Coast Guard to add towing vessels to the list of vessels subject to inspections, and to consider the establishment of a safety management system appropriate for towing vessels. With this notice, we are seeking public and industry involvement as we consider how to proceed. The rulemaking process and its associated opportunity for public input will provide us with information on the extent of items to be considered for inclusion in any towing vessel inspection/safety management program(s).
