Rule Change Seen On Party Boats

The U.S. Coast Guard has proposed cKnages in its regulations that will affect the licensing of charter boat operators. "While the new regulations would relax restric-

tions on holdrrs of current licenses, Ok regulations would make getting a new license more difficult," says T. Bran.ley Houston, president of Houston Marine Consultants.

t Under the proposed s regulations, the ocean and v inland operator licenses now issued to party-boat , operators would be replacl ed by a master's license for vessels of not more than 200 gross tons. Tonnage ratings would automatically be increased, in many I cases to the 200-ton I maximum. NEW LICENSE apI plicants will feel the I greatest effects of the proI posed regulations. The ex1 animations for the motorJ boat operator license ( com1 monly referred to as the I "six pack" license, which I allows for six passengers I or less) and inland/ocean I operator license (which I allows for more than six I passengers aboard) will become more difficult under the new regulations, covering more material Currently, applicants for all three licenses are tested i on the basics of seamanship, such as aids to L navigation and charts, life- " saving and firefighting equipment, machinery operations, Coast Guard . rules and regulations, emergency and distress signals, first aid and rules of the road. Ocean operators are also tested on plotting and Loran. Once the new regulations go into effect, a first-time applicant will«also be tested on boat handling, meteorology, electronics, medical emergencies, marine sanitation, safety equipment required by law and practical signaling by flashing light. Currently most motor * boat operators and ocean/inland operators are limited to specific coastal waters and distances offshore. With the rule change, these restrictions would be eliminated and replaced with a "near coastal waters" endorsement, which includes coastal waters as far as 200 miles offshore anywhere in the world. The time requirements for the three licenses .will not change undfer the pro-

i posed regulations. An ap1 plicant for a motorboat > operator license must have t at least 365 days ex- - perience in operating • motorboats; an inland* > operator license applicant, ; 365 days on inland or ocean waters; and an ocean ' operator applicant, 730 i days on ocean or coastwise waters. "Mariners who upgrade their licenses now can take advantage of the new regulations," Houston states. "For example, a motorboat operator who upgrades his license now to ocean operator can get the benefits of an increase in tonnage when the new regulations take effect."
