How often are 3022's (Boat Inspection Reports) completed?

The correct frequency for completing 3022's, or Boat Inspection Reports, is annually. This schedule is designed to ensure that inspections are conducted regularly to monitor the condition of the vessel, verify compliance with safety regulations, and identify any maintenance needs that may arise. Conducting these inspections on an annual basis helps maintain safety and operational efficiency in maritime operations.

Choosing an annual timeline allows the Coast Guard to systematically oversee and manage the safety of the vessels under its jurisdiction, making it easier to track compliance and safety records over time. It balances the need for routine checks without placing an excessive burden on the resources available for inspections. The annual approach also aligns with industry practices for maintaining vessel safety standards.
