On December 29, 2023, the USCG issued Maritime Safety
Information Bulletin (MSIB) 13-2023, Change 1, an
updated version of MSIB 13-23, that now includes a Frequently Asked
Questions section addressing compliance with the Safer Seas Act
that was passed in December of 2022. The answers the USCG provides
in the updated MSIB are the most recent in a string of guidance
issued at the end of 2023 which aims to remove confusion
surrounding the Safer Seas Act and clearly shows that the USCG is
taking compliance and enforcement seriously, favoring strict
interpretation of the statues.
