conventional tug/barge combinations

under 10,000 gross tons do not currently

require assistance tugs. A majority of the

documented Chelsea Street Bridge

allisions since implementation of the

existing regulations involved tug/barge

combinations under 10,000 gross tons.

The Coast Guard is soliciting comment

regarding the possibility of applying

current or future size restrictions that

apply to ITBs to tug/barge combinations

under 10,000 gross tons. Should the

same draft and size limitations and tug

assist requirements that apply to

tankships of similar length and beam

apply to tug/barge combinations of any

tonnage? Should additional, fewer, or

the same number of assist tugs be

required for tug/barge combinations?
