Volume II is over 1340 pages, so we cut it into 3 books. This is Book IIA. The Coast Guard administers navigation and vessel inspection laws and regulations governing marine safety. It is the Coast Guard's responsibility to inspect the vessels regulated by those laws. Each marine safety unit must maintain current copies of Titles 33 and 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). A statute's applicability to a particular vessel is based on many factors, including the vessel's trade, route, length, tonnage, and/or number of passengers. To avoid misunderstandings, the applicability of each statute should be determined with a particular vessel, type of vessel, or operation in mind. Most statutes establish general requirements for inspection and authorize the Coast Guard to prescribe specific standards by regulation. However, certain statutes contain specific requirements for vessel standards and procedures. Why buy a book you can download for free? We print the paperback book so you don't have to.
