Use of Hull Inspector (HT) Job Aid:

This Job Aid is intended for use by qualified Coast Guard HT Marine

Inspectors for use on U.S. flagged vessels during hull exams on vessels

regulated under Subchapters D.

The tasks contained within this Job Aid are not intended to limit the scope

or depth of inspection. A checked box should be a running record of what

has been inspected and does not imply that the entire system has been

inspected or that all or any items are in full compliance. This Job Aid does

not constitute part of the official inspection record.

This document does not establish or change federal laws or regulations

and references given are only general guidance to the Marine Inspector.

The Marine Inspector will need to refer to other publications such as the

International Maritime Organization (IMO) resolutions, U.S. Codes of

Federal Regulation (CFR), USCG Navigation and Vessel Inspection

Circulars (NVIC) or locally produced guidance during the course of

inspection for specific regulatory references. Not all items in this Job Aid

are applicable to all vessels.

NOTE: Guidance on how to conduct inspections of U.S. flagged deep

draft vessels can be found in MSM Volume II, Section B: Domestic

Inspection Programs.

Action

Identify deficiency

Inform vessel representative

Record on the Deficiency Summary Worksheet (next page)

If deficiency is corrected prior to end of inspection, go to step 6

If deficiency is unable to be corrected prior to end of inspection,

issue CG-835 in accordance with the table below:

IF deficiency:

THEN issue CG-835V:

Does NOT immediately

impact crew/passenger safety,

hull seaworthiness or the

environment, e.g.,

 Missing placards

 Non-metallic expansion joints if

more than 10 years in service

That provides a specific time

for correcting deficiency,

e.g.,

 “X” number of days

 At next drydock

Allows Vessel operations to

be MODIFIED to meet less

stringent requirements, e.g.,

 Expired international certificates

 Automation defect

 Insufficient lifesaving equipment

That restricts operation of

vessel to meet current

vessel conditions, e.g.,

 Reduced route

 Increased crew

 Fewer offshore workers

DOES immediately impact

crew/passenger safety, hull

seaworthiness, or the

environment and cannot be

modified to meet less

stringent requirements, e.g.,

 Missing or defective firefighting

equipment

 Structural defect or damage

That requires the deficiency

to be corrected prior to

operating vessel (“NO SAIL”

item), e.g.,

 Prior to carrying offshore

workers

 Prior to carrying cargo
