The U.S. Coast Guard announces a delay in issuing final regulations for segregated ballast tanks, dedicated clean ballast tanks, crude oil washing systems, inert gas and deck foam systems, and improved steering gear standards on tank vessels. These regulations are expected to be published as final regulations no later than 10/1/79. Although the final regulations will be published and become effective in the fall of 1979, under the provisions of the Port and Tanker Safety Act, those regulations will provide that a tank vessel that is contracted for after 6/1/79, but before issuance of the final regulations must be in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Act and the final regulations in order to be issued a certificate of inspection or a certificate of compliance.
