WHITE PAPER / MARINE VAPOR CONTROL SYSTEM CERTIFICATION AND OPERATIONAL REVIEW

STREAMLINING MARINE VAPOR CONTROL SYSTEMS CERTIFICATION AND OPERATIONAL REVIEW EFFORTS

By Allyson Golden and Caitlin Geisinger, PE

An operational review of a marine facility vessel vapor control system is labor-intensive. Asset owners and operators can benefit from engineering consultants who verify system compliance, manage documentation and coordinate directly with certification entities.

Hundreds of facilities — and potentially thousands of assets — nationwide must achieve or maintain certification with U.S. Coast Guard Marine Facility and Vessel Vapor Control System safety regulations, as defined in 33 CFR 154 Subpart P, to continue or start operations. With less than two dozen U.S. Coast Guard-approved certification entities, any error or omission within the required documentation, or inconsistencies between documentation and operations, could result in significant and costly delays due to the limited number and availability of certification entities.
