Certificate Allows M/V FALCON to Operate
If you own or operate the M/V FALCON (Official Number 1824383), the Coast Guard has issued a certificate of alternative compliance to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS). The certificate recognizes that the vessel’s masthead light, stern light, and sidelights cannot fully meet the 72 COLREGS requirements because of the vessel’s construction and placement of those lights, and it permits continued operation under that certificate.
