Inspected Towing Vessel 25% Compliance Requirement and
Enforcement Notification
In accordance with 46 CFR 136.202(a) of Subchapter M, Inspection of Towing Vessels, companies must obtain a Certificate of Inspection (COI)
on at least 25% of their fleet by 22 July 2019, or face possible enforcement action. (Except single vessel companies, which must have a COI by
20 July 2020 in accordance with 46 CFR 136.202(b)).
If a towing vessel company that operates its vessels within First District desires to NOT obtain COIs on 25% of their fleet of responsibility within
a given Sector’s area of responsibility, but will meet the 25% requirement nationally, they must notify the cognizant Sector(s) of their phase-in
plan. Failure to provide this may result in the cognizant Sector initiating enforcement action.
Applications for a COI should be submitted in a timely manner. To ensure First District has the available capacity to conduct all required
inspections, we highly encourage companies (both electing Third Party Option and those electing Coast Guard Option) to submit a COI
application no later than 15 December 2018 for each of its vessels to be inspected prior to 22 July 2019. Based on current trends, we expect
significant delays in COI application processing after March 2019 due to last minute applications. Delays caused by last minute application will not
be considered a valid reason for not obtaining a COI by the required deadline in 46 CFR 136.202(a).
For questions regarding this Marine Safety Information Bulletin, please contact Mr. Kevin Miller, First District Towing Vessel/Barge Safety
Specialist, at 617-223-8272.

MARINER ALERT-SHIP/WHALE COLLISIONS
Collisions between vessels and whales are a threat to a number of endangered large whale species – most notably, the right whale. The United
States has established measures to reduce this threat. A vessel speed restriction requires that vessels 65 feet or greater in length travel 10
knots or less in certain areas and on a rolling basis at certain times where endangered right whales may be present: :
http://www.greateratlantic.fisheries.noaa.gov/protected/shipstrike/training/NOAA-RightWhalesCD.iso . This rule applies within 20 nautical miles
around all major ports and in other locations along the U.S. eastern seaboard. Temporary voluntary speed limits also may be imposed in other
areas when an aggregation of three or more right whales is confirmed. In addition, ships 300 GT and greater are required to report their location
and speed to a USCG shore station in certain prescribed areas:
https://www.greateratlantic.fisheries.noaa.gov/shipstrike/doc/guidelines%20placard_high.pdf . A computer-based interactive guide and
training resource for mariners is available at: http://www.greateratlantic.fisheries.noaa.gov/shipstrike/doc/mtr.html . The guide provides
information on endangered whales, recommended navigational actions when operating in whale habitat, a guide to reporting sightings of dead
or injured right whales, and related information. Additional steps mariners can take to help reduce the chances of hitting a right whale can be
found at: http://www.nero.noaa.gov/shipstrike/doc/guidelines%20placard_high.pdf .
LNM 17/18
NOTICE TO ALL PRIVATE BOATS AT SEA
United States laws and regulations require that ALL private boats arriving from a foreign port or place MUST report to the Bureau of Customs
and Border Protection IMMEDIATELY upon their arrival into the United States. Every person entering the United States must be seen in person
for immigration purposes by a Customs and Border Protection officer, except those participating in the I-68 -Canadian Border Boat Landing
Program-. However, holders of form I-68 are still required to report their arrival into the United States to the Bureau of Customs and Border
Protection. Masters and passengers must provide proof of citizenship or legal immigration status, and be in possession of a valid passport and
visa, if required. Citizens of countries that are participants in the Visa Waiver Program are not eligible to seek admission to the United States
under that program via private vessel. Once your boat is anchored or tied, you are considered to have entered the United States. No one may
leave the vessel until Customs and Border Protection grants permission. The only exception to this requirement is to report arrival. In order to
fulfill the requirement to immediately report a private boat arrival, the master of the vessel must contact the nearest Customs and Border
Protection Office, or if the arrival occurs after business hours, the nearest 24 hour port of entry. Upon reporting, you may be required to
proceed to a staffed port for inspection by Customs and Border Protection. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in serious
criminal and civil penalties, including seizure of the boat. International mariners are urged to report any suspicious or illegal activity to the Bureau
of Customs and Border Protection at 1-800-BE-ALERT.

Coast Guard District 1 12 December 2018NY/NJ – OPERATION CLEAR CHANNEL IN THE PORT OF NY/NJ
The Operation Clear Channel program is designed to educate boaters about the hazards of operating small vessels and personal watercraft in
the confines of navigational channels used by larger commercial ships. Federal Navigation Rules, also known as the “Rules of the Road”, address
this safety concern by giving commercial vessels priority, or right-of-way, over smaller vessels when navigating in narrow channels. An average
of 1,400 commercial vessels navigate the waters of the Port of NY/NJ every day and the masters of these vessels, while always on the lookout,
cannot always see smaller vessels operating within the channels.
Recreational boaters should keep a sharp lookout and always be prepared to give way to ships constrained in their ability to maneuver,
especially when operating within close proximity of a channel. U.S. Coast Guard units in New York and New Jersey actively promote boater
awareness through vessel enforcement patrols and visits to local marinas. The U.S. Coast Guard focuses Operation Clear Channel efforts on
high-traffic regions, such as Ambrose Channel, Sandy Hook Channel and Raritan Bay, but patrols all of New York Harbor in an effort to promote
awareness. Mariners interested in increasing their knowledge of boating safety, including the “Rules of the Road”, should consider a U.S. Coast
Guard Auxiliary boating safety course. Course information is available online at http://www.cgaux.org in the “Take a Boating This free online
educational resource for safe boating in the Port of NY & NJ is a cooperative effort by the I BOAT NJ program through NJ DOT and U.S. Coast
Guard Sector New York. The project contains a feature length 26 minute safety video describing the challenges of the multi user Port
environment and 5 sub chapters: Paddlers, Motor Boaters, Sailors, Pilots and Operation Clear Channel. Its mission is to increase safety and
awareness in the Port and its target is recreational boaters who transit and operate in the PortCourse” section, or by calling 1-800-336-BOAT.

US NOTICE TO MARINERS (NTM)
The US Notice to Mariners provides timely marine safety information for the correction of all US Government navigation charts and publications
from a wide variety of sources both foreign and domestic. To ensure the safety of life at sea, the information published in the Notice to Mariners
is designed to provide for the correction of unclassified nautical charts, the Unclassified NGA/DLIS Catalog of Hydrographic Products, United
States Coast Pilots, NGA List of Lights, USCG Light Lists, and other related nautical publications produced by NGA, NOS and the U.S. Coast
Guard. The US Notice to Mariners will contain only those chart corrections of interest to ocean going vessels. It is available online at
http://msi.nga.mil/NGAPortal/MSI.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=msi_portal_page_61 . NTM 01 – Special Paragraphs includes information on:
America’s Waterway Watch program asking those who work, live, or recreate on or near the water to be aware of suspicious activity, The
Prudent Mariner and the use of floating Aids to Navigation, and Northern Right Whales.
