The statutes relating to inspection of public vessels are primarily contained in 46 U.S.C. 2101(24) and 2109. a. 46 U.S.C. 2101(24) defines a public vessel as one that "is owned, or demise chartered, and operated by the United States Government or a government of a foreign country; and…is not engaged in commercial service." The ROGER REVELLE is owned by the United States Navy (Office of Naval Research), operated by SCRIPPS INSTITUTE, and is not engaged in commercial service. U.S. Navy and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) vessels as defined in 46 U.S.C. 2101(24) operated for oceanographic research are not required to be inspected and certificated by the Coast Guard. However, such vessels may be inspected and certificated upon request by the parent agency and upon an “interagency agreement to this effect.” Without an interagency agreement, the Coast Guard does not have authority or jurisdiction to conduct inspections, or casualty investigations on the ROGER REVELLE. You are required to "initiate" an interagency agreement between the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the United States Coast Guard no later than December 22, 2022. Failure to establish an interagency agreement with the Coast Guard will result in the Coast Guard withdrawing the vessel’s Certificate of Inspection (COI). It is our understanding that the Office of Naval Research owns several research vessels that are operating in a similar manner. It would be beneficial to enter all ONR research vessels under the same interagency agreement. If you disagree with this decision you may ask for reconsideration, or appeal this decision in accordance with 46 CFR 1.03-20.

ISM CODE 1.2 Objectives 1.2.3 The safety management system should ensure: 1.2.3.2 that applicable codes, guidelines and standards recommended by the Organization, Administrations, classification societies and maritime industry organizations are taken into account. Evidence: During a recent Coast Guard administrative inspection, it was discovered that the ROGER REVELLE has been sailing into and out of pilotage ports without being under the direction and control of an individual qualified to serve as pilot. In accordance with 46 CFR 15.812, when the ROGER REVELLE is underway on federal pilotage waters of the united states, the vessel must be under the direction and control of an individual qualified to serve as pilot. Conducted a review of pilot procedures in the vessel SMS. The SMS contains two pilot procedures; One for embarking a pilot and the other on interactions with the pilot [name withheld] does not contain procedures or guidance on on when a pilot is required. You are required to initiate corrective action plan in accordance with your SMS. Final corrective action is to be to the satisfaction of the Recognized Organization (ABS).
