238. When a vessel is not in compliance with its Certificate of Inspection, which certificate may be issued to allow its movement to a repair facility? (small passenger vessel regulations)

A Permit to Proceed allows a small passenger vessel out of compliance with its Certificate of Inspection to move to a repair facility under specified conditions, as outlined in 46 CFR 176.204. This document is distinct from a Temporary Certificate of Inspection, Change of Employment, or Application for Inspection, which do not authorize movement of a non-compliant vessel.
