8 AAC 80.030 - Certificates of inspection
Current through April 6, 2022
(a) The
expiration date of a certificate of inspection issued under
AS 18.60.340 will be
shown on the certificate. The certificate remains valid until its
stated expiration date so long as there is no break in insurance
coverage on the vessel for which the certificate was
issued.
(b) An insurance
carrier assuming coverage for a vessel shall, within 30 days after
assuming coverage, provide the department with either a notice of
insurance or an insurance binder indicating the effective date of
coverage, the location of the vessel, and the state vessel number
assigned to it. The carrier shall provide the department with a copy
of its initial inspection report if the certificate is due to expire.
If the vessel does not have a state vessel number assigned to it, the
special inspector for the insurance carrier shall assign it a number.
A certificate of inspection will be processed by the department upon
receipt of these items.
(c) If the insurance coverage for a
vessel is transferred from one insurance carrier to another, the
insurance carrier dropping coverage of the vessel shall, within 20
days after the expiration of coverage, provide the department with a
notice of cancellation of coverage, stating the location of the
vessel, its assigned state vessel number and the reason for
cancellation of coverage.
(d) If requested on the notice of
insurance or the insurance binder submitted under (b) or (c) of this
section by an insurance carrier assuming coverage of a vessel, the
department will provide the carrier with an updated computer
information sheet for the covered vessel. The sheet will include the
date on which the field inspection report forms for the next regular
inspection will be sent to the carrier and a description of the
vessel.
(e) If a notice
of cancellation under (c) of this section is received by the
department, and a notice of insurance or insurance binder indicating
continuing coverage is not received within 40 days after the
cancellation date, the department will make an inspection if a
certificate is due to expire.
(f) Vessels not covered by
insurance or a department-approved owner or user program, will be
inspected by the department. A certificate of inspection for a vessel
will be issued if, after inspection, the vessel is found to meet the
requirements of
AS 18.60.180 and this
chapter.
