Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
This subchapter sets forth tank vessel escort
						  requirements for the San Francisco, San Pablo and Suisun Bays. These
						  requirements specify that tank vessels carrying 5,000 or more long tons of oil
						  in bulk as cargo shall be escorted by a suitable escort tug or tugs. The escort
						  tugs will be available, and shall respond as needed to influence the speed and
						  direction of travel of the tank vessel in the event of a casualty, or steering
						  or propulsion failure, thereby reducing the possibility of groundings or
						  collisions and the risk of oil spills from these tank vessels. This subchapter
						  established the criteria for matching tugs to tankers and barges. Tankers will
						  be matched according to a matrix that correlates a tanker's displacement with
						  the braking force of a tug(s). Barges must be matched based on a one-to-one
						  correlation of the deadweight tonnage of the barge to the braking force of the
						  tug(s).
The Administrator shall review the matching criteria
						  and other program elements within two years of the effective date of this
						  subchapter. The program review will include a survey of the tanker-related
						  incidents in U.S. waters to determine the types of failures that have occurred,
						  an assessment of tug technology and any advances made in design and power, and
						  the tug escort-related rules and policies that are implemented by other coastal
						  states and maritime organizations. At the conclusion of the review, the
						  Administrator will determine whether it is necessary to modify the tug/tanker
						  matching criteria or any other provision of the program
						  requirements.

						following characteristics of the tank vessel:
(A) the location and strength of the bitts
						and chocks to be used by the escort tugs,
(B) the location of the pushing surfaces on
						the hull that are strong enough to sustain the forces that can be exerted by
						the escort tug(s),
(C) the number
						of crew assigned to escort-related duties,
(D) any pertinent performance characteristics
