Marine Mobile Fueling Page

If you are planning on conducting Marine Mobile Fueling Operations, the U.S. Coast Guard requires that you have an Operations Manual and Response Plan.  

Safety Kaizen, LLC can help you quickly put together these documents for submission to the U.S.C.G.  

We would also draft the Letter of Intent for you, required under 33 CFR 154.110.

You would then print three copies of each plan.  (Two for U.S.C.G. Captain of the Port, and one for your company.)

Here is how we layout the Operations Manual and Response Plan to meet the U.S. Coast Guard.

We add you specific information and your company details, provided by you.

The listing of navigability determinations for waters is maintained in accordance with Title 33, Subpart 2.10 of the Code of Federal Regulations. 

It includes formal determinations made by the Coast Guard, as well as those made by the courts or Congress. 

The information contained in the video and written content posted represents the views and opinions of the original creators of the video and written content and does not necessarily represent the views or opinions of Safety Kaizen, LLC.  

No attempt has been made to list those waterways “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” as that phrase is used in the Federal Boating Safety Act (Title 46 United States Code § 4301 et. seq.). 

Additionally, the extent of navigable waters under the Clean Water Act (Title 33 United States Code § 1321 et. seq.) may be broader. 

Except for waterways determined to be “navigable waters of the United States”, this list does not list waters otherwise “Subject to the Jurisdiction of the United States” as that term is used in Title 33 Code of Federal Regulations § 2.05-30(b), (c), & (d). 

Waters that are subject to tidal influence, whether listed or not, are considered navigable for the purposes of general Coast Guard jurisdiction to the limits of tidal influence. (See Title 33 Code of Federal Regulations § 2.05-25). 

Where an “X” is shown under “NAV CG”, this indicates that either the entire waterway or certain portions of it are considered to be navigable. Limits on the extent of navigability will be explained in the comment. 

Navigability determinations for some waterways may be for a limited purpose (i.e., bridge permitting, recreational vessel fee, etc.). These limitations will also be explained in the comments. 

Waterways not contained on this list may or may not be navigable.

There absence indicates that no determination has been made by the Coast Guard, the courts, or by Congress concerning their navigability. This list is subject at change at any time should a new or contrary determination be made. 

Navigability determinations made by the Coast Guard are for the purposes of exercising Coast Guard authority and jurisdiction only. 

They should not be construed as determinative of jurisdiction under admiralty and general maritime law, state law, or for jurisdiction by other federal agencies (such as the Army Corps of Engineers).
