QUESTION: When do I need to amend a COI?
RESPONSE:
A COI must be amended if any of the following occur:
- Vessel is sold (new owner to apply for amended COI);
- Vessel’s operator changes (such as under a new charter contract);
- TPO covering the vessel changes;
- Vessel changes Subchapter M compliance options (such as moving from CG option to TSMS option);
- Vessel has a change in route, manning, exceptions, or alternative arrangements; or
- To correct errors (typographical, incorrect survey program, etc.)
Please work with the local OCMI and remember to send a copy of the amended COI to TVIB so we can update our records accordingly. If you have any questions about when to amend a COI please call 832-323-3992 or click here to send an email.
