Passenger Vessel Safety

Act Approved

The Passenger Vessel Safety Act of 1993 (H.R. 1159) was approved by the Subcommittee on Coast Gu and Navigation after one ame ment was added.

Under current law, passen vessels weighing more than I gross tons which carry one or m passengers for hire must meet Co

Guard requirements, be Coi

Guard documented as a passenj vessel and be Coast Guard inspect

In the past, vessel owners ha avoided Coast Guard regulation using recreational vehicles whi are not required to be Coast Gua inspected.

H.R. 1159 will require all passe ger carrying vessels to be licens by the Coast Guard, chartered ve sels to obtain some form of passe ger vessel certification and/or safe inspection, and will give the Coa

Guard the authority to regulate e non-recreational vessels in the pa senger carrying trade.

The only amendment attached 1 the bill would require that all cha: tered vessels of over 100 gross tor carrying 12 or less passengers r( ceive a Coast Guard document an would be subject to general safetj lifesaving and firefighting equip ment requirements. The same re strictions would apply to charterei vessels weighing less than 100 gros tons but are limited to six passen gers.

Keep Workboats Working

Workboat performance at its design best!

E-Series propeller and rudder shaft seals boost productivity... extend time between scheduled maintenance and dry dock- ings...save time and money...and limit pollution.

Proven John Crane maneBar mechanical seals provide maximum sealing integrity. They virtually eliminate excessive leakage, slash maintenance and reduce the volume of oily bilge water. These seals are designed to meet tough applications for tugs, trawlers, ferries, fishing boats, offshore supply ships.

And, our patented inflatable backup seals and split face components allow for emergency primary seal inspection, maintenance and repair without dry docking. No other seal offers these advantages.

John Crane Marine offers seal designs for all hull sealing needs—water, grease and oil lubricated systems for propulsion shaft, rudder stock, bulkhead, fin stabilizer and bow thruster applications. Sizes range from 2" to 60" in non-split, partially split and fully split configurations. >
