SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background And Purpose
A Certificate of Alternative Compliance, as allowed under Title 33
of the Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 81 and 89, has been issued
for the offshore supply vessel C-CONTENDER. The horizontal distance
between the forward and aft masthead lights may be 21'- 9 \3/4\ ''.
Placing the aft masthead light at the horizontal distance from the
forward masthead light as required by Annex I, paragraph 3(a) of the 72
COLREGS, and Annex I, section 84.05(a) of the Inland Rules Act, would
result in an aft masthead light location directly over the cargo deck
where it would interfere with loading and unloading operations.
The Certificate of Alternative Compliance allows for the horizontal
separation of the forward and aft masthead lights to deviate from the
requirements of Annex I, paragraph 3(a) of 72 COLREGS, and Annex I,
section 84.05(a) of the Inland Rules Act.
This notice is issued under authority of 33 U.S.C. 1605(c), and 33
CFR 81.18.
Dated: May 18, 2010.
J.W. Johnson,
Commander, U.S. Coast Guard, Chief, Inspections and Investigations
Branch, By Direction of the Commander, Eighth Coast Guard District.
