The Coast Guard enforces a comprehensive set of regulations that govern the conduct of merchant marine officers, seamen, uninspected vessels, tank vessels, load lines, marine engineering, documenting and measuring vessels, passenger vessels, cargo and miscellaneous vessels, offshore supply vessels, mobile offshore drilling units, electrical engineering, small passenger vessels, oceanographic vessels, occupational safety and health standards, and lifesaving systems. These regulations encompass a wide range of maritime activities and ensure the safety, security, and environmental protection of the marine transportation industry.

Maritime Administration regulations provide a detailed framework for policies, practices, and procedures related to the maritime industry. They cover various aspects such as maritime carriers, subsidized vessels, vessel financing assistance, emergency operations, training, and ports. The Maritime Commission, as an independent regulatory body, oversees the operations of maritime carriers, terminals, tariffs, domestic offshore commerce, and foreign commerce.

These regulations are essential in maintaining the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the maritime industry. They ensure that vessels comply with international standards, regulations, and safety protocols, while also protecting the interests of passengers, crew, and the environment. By implementing these regulations, the Coast Guard and the Maritime Administration work together to promote a safe and secure maritime environment for all stakeholders.
