If your JP-5 barge has operated in salt water for less than 1 month in the 12 month period since it was last dry-docked, when is it required to be hauled out again?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — 60 months since last dry-docking
Under USCG dry-docking regulations in 46 CFR, barges operating in salt water for less than one month out of the twelve-month period since the last inspection benefit from extended dry-dock intervals, requiring inspection every 60 months.
