Coast Guard
Vessel Inspection
Updates Given
To facilitate the safe flow of commerce, the U.S. Coast Guard will liberally use remote inspection techniques to verify commercial vessel compliance and, if needed, defer inspections.
The Coast Guard’s current position on commercial vessel compliance activities is listed.
Before boarding a vessel or immediately prior to conducting a pre-exam/inspection meeting, Marine Inspectors, Port State Control Officers (PSCOs), and Commercial Fishing Vessel Examiners will verify with the vessel representative that no ill persons are onboard. Coast Guard personnel will practice the appropriate protective measures as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Certain commercial fishing vessels request a FVS exam prior to carrying a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Marine Fisheries Service observer. These requests shall continue to be coordinated through the cognizant OCMI. Processing and accommodating requests for a FVS Exam will be addressed on a case-by-case basis by the OCMI.
