USCG to conduct commercial fishing vessel dockside safety exams in April

The Coast Guard Commercial Fishing Vessel Examiner will be conducting dockside examinations for commercial fishing vessels in Wrangell from April 1-3.

Checkout our new vessel specific checklist generator located at http://www.fishsafe.info. This tool will allow you to print out a list of all safety requirements for your vessel prior to your exam.

Mandatory exams are not required now but must be completed prior to Oct 15, 2015, for all commercial fishing vessels that operate beyond three miles off shore. Although you are not required to get an exam right now, your vessel is required to have all of the required equipment on board.

Voluntary dockside examinations are free and take about an hour. To set up a Dockside Examination contact Jim Paul at 907-617-2523.
