Sec.  176.65  Alternative stowage procedures.

    When a hazardous material is to be loaded on board a vessel and it 
is shown to the satisfaction of the Coast Guard Captain of the Port for 
the place where the vessel is being loaded that it is impracticable to 
comply with a stowage location requirement specified in the Sec.  
172.101 table of this subchapter or a segregation, handling or stowage 
requirement specified in this part, the Captain of the Port may 
authorize in writing the use of an alternative stowage location or 
method of segregation, handling or stowage subject to such conditions as 
he finds will insure a level of safety at least equal to that afforded 
by the regulatory requirement concerned.
