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.
