What is a Coast Guard Certificate of Inspection (COI)?
A COI is a document issued by the U.S. Coast Guard that certifies a vessel has been inspected and meets all applicable safety regulations for carrying passengers or cargo for hire.
Why do I need a COI?
If you plan to use your vessel for commercial purposes, such as carrying paying passengers or cargo, you are required by law to have a valid COI.
What types of vessels require a COI?
Generally, any vessel carrying more than six passengers for hire, or engaged in commercial fishing, towing, or other commercial activities, will require a COI.
How long is a COI valid?
COIs are typically valid for five years, but may be issued for shorter periods depending on the vessel’s age and condition.
What happens if my vessel fails the inspection?
If your vessel does not meet the required standards, you will be given a list of deficiencies that must be corrected before a COI can be issued. Uncharted Marine can help you address these issues and ensure your vessel is ready for re-inspection.
How often do I need to renew my COI?
COIs must be renewed every five years, or more frequently if required by the Coast Guard. Uncharted Marine can help you stay on top of your renewal requirements and ensure a seamless process.
What are the consequences of operating a commercial vessel without a COI?
Operating without a valid COI can result in fines, penalties, and even the seizure of your vessel. It’s crucial to maintain compliance to avoid these consequences.
