Background and Purpose 

The offshore supply vessel HOS 

SWEET WATER will be used for 

offshore supply operations. The 

Certificate of Alternative Compliance 

allows for the horizontal distance 

between the forward and aft masthead 

lights to be 21′11′′. Placing the aft 

masthead light at the horizontal 

distance from the forward masthead 

light as required by Annex I, paragraph 

3(a) of the 72 COLREGS, and Annex I, 

Section 84.05(a) of the Inland Rules Act, 

would result in an aft masthead light 

location directly over the cargo deck 

where it would interfere with loading 

and unloading operations. 

The Certificate of Alternative 

Compliance allows for the horizontal 

separation of the forward and aft 

masthead lights to deviate from the 

requirements of Annex I, paragraph 3(a) 

of 72 COLREGS, and Annex I, Section 

84.05(a) of the Inland Rules Act.
