Hazardous/Non-Operating Requirements

  • To whom should I report a notice of hazardous conditions aboard the vessel?

    • If your vessel has a hazardous condition either aboard your vessel, or caused by your vessel or its operation, as per 33 CFR 160.215 you must immediately notify the nearest COTP or U.S. Coast Guard Sector Command (Compliance with this section does not relieve responsibility for the written report required by 46 CFR 4.05-10).


  • How do I request a deviation to enter for non-operating navigational safety equipment?

    • The process for requesting a deviation from the regulations regarding non-operation of navigational safety equipment found in 33 CFR 164.53 is unchanged and should continue to be made through the cognizant COTP. However, the NOA submitted to the NVMC must also list any non-operating equipment required under 33 CFR 164.35.
