Today, we had our annual US Coastguard Inspection. This time we also had 4 NYS Parks Inspectors shadowing our USCG Inspectors. (NYS Parks Inspectors are responsible for the inspections of NYS Passenger Vessels on land locked waterways.) NYS Inspectors had requested to shadow a USCG passenger vessel inspection of a larger vessel during a conversation at the NYS Tour Boat Association meeting last Spring. Colonial Belle’s Captain Tammee (who is also the current President of the NY State Tour Boat Association) agreed to have them join us for our inspection. Safety is our top priority & helping make our industry safer & better is something we’re glad to be a small part of.

The annual inspection involves USCG Inspectors checking all safety equipment, logs/documentation, drug testing program records, vessel operations/conditions, testing of bilge pumps/alarms, the fire hose & demonstration of a Man Overboard & Fire Drill with the vessel underway + more.

We passed the inspection & will continue to keep our vessel & operations up to date with USCG regulations as always.
