Use of Tankship Inspection Book:
This inspection book is intended to be used as a job aid by Coast
Guard marine inspectors during inspections of U.S. flagged
tankships. The lists contained within this book are not intended to
limit the inspection. Each marine inspector should determine the
depth of inspection necessary. A checked box should be a running
record of what has been inspected. It 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. References given are only general guides. Refer to IMO
publications, CFRs, NVICs or any locally produced cite guides for
specific regulatory references. Not all items in this book are
applicable to all vessels.
NOTE: Guidance on how to conduct inspections of U.S. flagged
tankships can be found in the Marine Safety Manual (MSM) Volume
II, Chapter B1: Inspection of Vessels for Certification. All MSM cites
listed in this book refer to MSM Volume II unless otherwise indicated.
Guide to Examinations:
All vessels
Vessels carrying dangerous cargoes in bulk

Pre-inspection Items: Post-inspection Items:
