46 U.S.C. § 8105 — Fishing vessel exemption
submitted 30 years ago by Pub. L. 104-324 to r/title-46-SHIPPING · 42 words · no verdicts yet
An international treaty on training, certifying, and monitoring ship crews doesn't apply to fishing vessels. This includes a fishing vessel that's also used as a fish tender vessel.
This section is an exemption. An international agreement called the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, along with any later amendments to it, sets rules for training and certifying ship crews.
This section says that treaty does not apply to a fishing vessel*, even if that same vessel is also used as a fish tender vessel.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, neither the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, nor any amendment to such convention, shall apply to a fishing vessel*, including a fishing vessel used as a fish tender vessel.
