Completed

The committee reviews U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) stability regulations and guidance documents and advises on how to improve their consistency, clarity, and usability. The committee’s report analyzes changes in lightship weight on passenger and freight vessels and conducts a review of the effectiveness of U.S. regulations and guidance about intact and damage stability standards. Based on its Phase 1 report, the committee reviews USCG policy documents following its previously recommended criteria and proposes a methodology that could be used to prioritize its previously suggested candidate updates and changes.
