   Subpart C_Rules for Assigning Working Freeboards to Hopper Dredges
 
Sec. 44.330  Obtaining working freeboards for hopper dredges.

    A hopper dredge may be issued a working freeboard on a limited 
service domestic voyage load line certificate or a Great Lakes load line 
certificate if the following are met:

draft up to the working freeboard draft. Dredges built and maintained in 
conformity with the requirements of a classification society recognized 
by the Commandant usually meet this requirement.
    (b) The hopper dredge must--
    (1) Meet subpart I of part 174 of this chapter; and
    (2) Have on its bridge remote draft indicators that:
    (i) Show the fore, aft, and mean draft of the dredge at all times 
while the dredge is operating; and
    (ii) Have each indicator marked with the assigned freeboard and the 
working freeboard.
