Bill Proposals Expand Vessel Safety and Inspection Powers
A set of eight maritime bills would exempt vessels from annual inspection if out of service, empower inspectors to revoke certificates for law violations, and set punishments for willful sale or manufacture of defective life preservers. It broadens liability to owners and officers, transfers minor statutory details to regulations, classifies machinery propelled boats as steam vessels, and creates a marine construction commission to study safety-linked vessel construction.
