SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Certificate of Alternative Compliance, as allowed under Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 81 and 89, has been issued for the high speed ferry SUSITNA, O.N. 1189367. Full compliance with 72 COLREGS and the Inland Rules Act would hinder the vessel’s ability to operate as designed. The forward masthead light may be located 18′–4″ above the hull. Placing the forward masthead light at the height as required by Annex I, paragraph 2(a) of the 72 COLREGS and Annex I, Section 84.03(a) of the Inland Rules Act would result in a masthead light location that would interfere with the line of sight of the pilot house. In addition, the horizontal distance between the forward and aft masthead lights may be 58′–5″. Placing the aft masthead light at the horizontal distance from the forward masthead light as required by Annex I, paragraph 3(a) of the 72 COLREGS would result in an aft mast being placed on the center barge deck of the ferry which is designed to move vertically. The Certificate of Alternative Compliance allows for the vertical placement of the forward masthead light to deviate from requirements set forth in Annex I, paragraph 2(a) of 72 COLREGS and Annex I, Section 84.03(a) of the Inland Rules Act. In addition, this Certificate of Alternative Compliance allows for the horizontal separation of the forward and aft masthead lights to deviate from the requirements of Annex I, paragraph 3(a) of 72 COLREGS. This notice is issued under authority of 33 U.S.C. 1605(c), and 33 CFR 81.18.

Placing the aft masthead light at the horizontal distance from the forward masthead light as required by Annex I, paragraph 3(a) of the 72 COLREGS would result in an aft masthead light location directly over the aft cargo deck where it would interfere with loading and unloading operations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose

    The offshore supply vessel KELLY ANN CANDIES will be used for 
offshore supply operations. Full compliance with 72 COLREGS and the 
Inland Rules Act will hinder the vessel's ability to maneuver within 
close proximity of offshore platforms and conduct helicopter 
operations. The forward masthead light may be located forward of the 
helideck 10.5 meters above the hull. Placing the forward masthead light 
at the height as required by Annex I, paragraph 2(a) of the 72 COLREGS 
would result in a masthead light location that would interfere with 
helideck operations. In addition, the horizontal distance between the 
forward and aft masthead lights may be 33.023 meters. Placing the aft 
masthead light at the horizontal distance from the forward masthead 
light as required by Annex I, paragraph 3(a) of the 72 COLREGS would 
result in an aft masthead light location directly over the aft cargo 
deck where it would interfere with loading and unloading operations. 
Furthermore, the sidelights may be placed 2.2 meters above the forward 
masthead light. Placing the sidelights lower than the forward masthead 
light as required by Annex I, paragraph 2(g) of 72 COLREGS and Annex I, 
paragraph 84.03(g) of the Inland Rules Act, would subject them to 
interference from the deck lights and obstruction by the helideck.
    A Certificate of Alternative Compliance, as allowed under Title 33 
of the Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 81 and 89, has been issued 
for the offshore supply vessel KELLY ANN CANDIES, O.N. 1219617. The 
Certificate of Alternative Compliance allows for the vertical placement 
of the forward masthead light to deviate from requirements set forth in 
Annex I, paragraph 2(a) of 72 COLREGS. In addition, the Certificate of 
Alternative Compliance allows for the horizontal separation of the 
forward and aft masthead lights to deviate from the requirements of 
Annex I, paragraph 3(a) of 72 COLREGS. Furthermore, the Certificate of 
Alternative Compliance allows for the placement of the sidelights to 
deviate from requirements set forth in Annex I, paragraph 2(g) of 72 
COLREGS and Annex I, paragraph 84.03(g) of the Inland Rules Act.
    This notice is issued under authority of 33 U.S.C. 1605(c), and 33 
CFR 81.18.
