APPENDIX E TANK BARGE SURVEILLANCE--AN OVERVIEW The following tables summarize regulations related to the surveil- lance of unmanned tank barges (while not gas free) during three modes of operation. TABLE E-1 Mode I: In Tow/Underway Applicable Regulations Limiting Conditions Requirements Subchapter D 46 CFR 35.01-50(e) 46 CFR 35.01-50(f)(1) 46 CFR 35.05-15(b)(1) Applies only to tank barges carrying flammable liquids with a Reid vapor pressure in excess of 25 psi in independent tanks and liquefied flammable gases. Same as above. None given. Checked periodically to insure free of water. Strict watch of each tank barge shall be maintained from towing vessel. Same as above. NOTES: 46 CFR 31.15-5 requires that towing vessels with tank barges in tow shall carry and have on board at all times either a licensed officer or certificated tankerman. 46 CFR 35.01-50(f)~2) prohibits towing vessels from leaving barges with independent cargo tanks, carrying any amount of flammable liquid or liquefied flammable gas, "unattended.''
