New CG Safety Recommendations 09/11/19B 20:11 S.S.

In  the  wake  of  the  recent  dive  boat  fire,  the  Coast  Guard  has  issued  new  safety  recommendations.     They  suggest  limiting  the  un-supervised  charging  of  lithium-ion  batteries,  as  well  as  the  un-supervised  use  of  power  strips  and  extension  cords  on  boats.     Although  the  cause  of  the  fire  that  killed  34 people  aboard  the  “Conception”  has  not  yet  been  determined,  the  Coast Guard  also  recommends  that  owners  and  operators  of  vessels  review  their  emergency  plans  and  duties  with  the  crew,  and  check  all  firefighting  and  lifesaving  equipment  on-board.
