Page 61 TITLE 46—SHIPPING § 3309 § 3307. Frequency of inspection Each vessel subject to inspection under this part shall undergo an initial inspection for cer- tification before being put into service. After being put into service— (1) each passenger vessel, nautical school vessel, and small passenger vessel allowed to carry more than 12 passengers on a foreign voyage shall be inspected at least once a year; and (2) any other vessel shall be inspected at least once every 5 years. (Pub. L. 98–89, Aug. 26, 1983, 97 Stat. 514; Pub. L. 104–324, title VI, § 605(a), Oct. 19, 1996, 110 Stat. 3931.) HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES Revised section Source section (U.S. Code) 3307(1) .......................................... 46:391(c) 46:1295f(c) 3307(2) .......................................... 46:390a(a) 46:404–1(6)(i) 3307(3) .......................................... 46:391(b) 46:392(b) 46:404–1(6)(ii) Section 3307 requires each vessel subject to inspection to undergo an initial inspection prior to being placed in service. This is normally started during the construc- tion or reconstruction phase and is a continuing proc- ess until final certification for operation in a par- ticular trade. Subsequent periodic inspections are also required for various types of vessels. It is to be noted that a freight vessel of less than 100 gross tons shall be inspected at 3 year intervals while the larger freight vessel has a 2 year inspection period. This is being done to retain the existing procedure of issuing 3 year cer- tificates of inspection to smaller vessels, however, this does not prevent periodic inspections or examinations at intervening periods.
