Owners of Inspected Passenger Vessels are all too familiar with the Coast Guard “CG-835” form. So are we. The “835” is an official document issued by a U.S. Coast Guard inspector to record deficiencies, non-conformities, or violations discovered during the inspection of a Certified Passenger Vessel. It outlines exactly what must be corrected to achieve regulatory compliance.
At Weil & Associates, we have represented owners and operators of passenger vessels for almost 30 years. We have worked with Coast Guard inspectors to clarify their findings if they appear to be unreasonable, and we have supported clients in their appeals. We have also helped newly formed maritime businesses to comply with regulations that are unique to passenger vessel operations, and we have helped their licensed personnel when they have faced license suspension or revocation hearings.
Give us a call when you need representation in this unique legal arena.
