This Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) provides guidance on preparing a Shipboard Safety Management and Contingency Plan (hereafter referred to as the 'plan') under 46 CFR 199.63(f) as an alternative to the survival craft requirements under 46 CFR 199.201(b). This alternative applies to passenger vessels operating on routes that are not subject to the requirements of the Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS) to which subchapter W in 46 CFR chapter I applies. In addition, this guidance may be helpful to operators that wish to prepare shipboard safety management and contingency plan to augment their existing safety program.
