Please provide Sector Mobile a roster with all company vessels including COi status (issued/not issued) and what OCMI zone issued the COi. Sector Mobile requests information be sent to mobinsp@uscg.mil no later than December I, 20 I 9.
To minimize delays, 46 CFR 136.210 requires an application for inspection and supporting documentation be submitted 30 days in advance for an initial COL Additionally, the inspection shall be scheduled a minimum of three months prior.
