If your JP-5 barge has operated in saltwater for less than 1 month in the 12 month period since it was last dry-docked, when is it required to be hauled out again?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — 60 months since last dry-docking
Barges operating predominantly in freshwater environments accumulate less marine growth and corrosion, allowing extended dry-dock intervals up to 60 months under specific USCG inspection provisions outlined in Title 46 CFR.
