PART 90_GENERAL PROVISIONS--Table of Contents

 

                        Subpart 90.05_Application

 

Sec.  90.05-5  Specific application noted in text.



    (a) At the beginning of the various parts, subparts, and sections, a 

more specific application is generally given for the particular portion 

of the text involved. This application sets forth the types, sizes, or 

services or vessels to which the text pertains, and in many cases limits 

the application of the text to vessels contracted for before or after a 

specific date. As used in this subchapter, the term ``vessels contracted 

for'' includes not only the contracting for the construction of a 

vessel, but also the contracting for a material alteration to a vessel, 

the contracting for the conversion of a vessel to a cargo or 

miscellaneous vessel, and the changing of service or route of a vessel 

if such change increases or modifies the general requirements for the 

vessel or increases the hazards to which it might be subjected.
