Certificate of Alternative Compliance 

for the Delta Marine Industries 

Shipyard Hull #107050 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notification of issuance of a 

certificate of alternative compliance. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces 

that the Chief, Prevention Division, 

Thirteenth District has issued a 

certificate of alternative compliance 

from the International Regulations for 

Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 

COLREGS), for The Delta Marine 

Industries Shipyard Hull #107050. We 

are issuing this notice because its 

publication is required by statute. Due 

to the construction and placement of the 

masthead light, Delta Marine Industries 

Shipyard Hull #107050 cannot fully 

comply with the light, shape, or sound 

signal provisions of the 72 COLREGS 

without interfering with the vessel’s 

design and construction. This 

notification of issuance of a certificate of 

alternative compliance promotes the 

Coast Guard’s marine safety mission. 

DATES: The Certificate of Alternative 

Compliance was issued on August 15, 

2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

United States is signatory to the 

International Maritime Organization’s 

International Regulations for Preventing 

Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), 

as amended. The special construction or 

purpose of some vessels makes them 

unable to comply with the light, shape, 

or sound signal provisions of the 72 

COLREGS. Under statutory law, 

however, specified 72 COLREGS 

provisions are not applicable to a vessel 

of special construction or purpose if the 

Coast Guard determines that the vessel 

cannot fully comply with those 

requirements without interfering with 

special function of the vessel.1

The owner, builder, operator, or agent 

of a special construction or purpose 

vessel may apply to the Coast Guard 

District Office in which the vessel is 

being built or operated for 

determination that compliance with 

alternate requirements is justified,2 and 

the Chief of the Prevention Division 

would then issue the applicant a 

certificate of alternative compliance 

(COAC) if he or she determines that the 

vessel cannot fully comply with 72 

COLREGS light, shape, and sound signal 

provisions without interference with the 

vessel’s special function.3 If the Coast 

Guard issues a COAC, it must publish 

notice of this action in the Federal 

Register.4

The Chief, Thirteenth Coast Guard 

District, certifies that Delta Marine 

Industries Shipyard Hull #107050 is a 

vessel of special construction or 

purpose, and that, with respect to the 

position of the masthead light, it is not 

possible to comply fully with the 

requirements of the provisions 

enumerated in the 72 COLREGS, 

without interfering with the normal 

operation, construction, or design of the 

vessel. The Chief, Thirteenth Coast 

Guard District, Prevention Division 

further finds and certifies that the 

masthead light is in the closest possible 

compliance with the applicable 

provisions of the 72 COLREGS.5

This notice is issued under authority 

of 33 U.S.C. 1605(c) and 33 CFR 81.18. 

Dated: October 21, 2024.

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Chief, Prevention 

Division, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
