The Auxiliary Ferry Audit program is a program that works under the guidelines set by the USCG
Domestic Inspections Branch-Sector San Francisco and helps as a force multiplier to augment the USCG
as a part of “Team Coast Guard” in maintaining a safe passenger ferry system and adhering to safety
standards outlined in the Federal Codes of Regulations applied to Marine Safety. Auditors utilize an
USCG-Auxiliary “Deficiency Summary Worksheet in producing an Audit Report of Findings.

2. USCG Marine Inspectors refer to IMO publications, CFR’s, NVIC’s and locally produced cite guides for
specific regulatory references before taking any action on reported vessel safety/CFR deficiencies. Not
all items in the Auxiliary/USCG Audit Worksheet are applicable to all types of passenger ferry vessels.
References given are only general guides and are provided for auditor information and clarification.
Auditors need not research regulatory basis for reporting deficiencies to USCGAUX Marine Safety and
Sector San Francisco.
General vessel areas of audit include: VESSEL EQUIPMENT Condition, Passenger Safety Equipment-
Lifejackets to Extinguishers, lighting and Safety Signage; POLLUTION PREVENTION (Required Posted
Notices; Fuel or Sewage Leaks); COMMUNICATIONS (Public Safety announcement equipment/speakers);
STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY (holes, rust, leaks, damage, and hazards) and SECURITY (Vessels carrying 150
Plus Passengers). Auxiliary Ferry Auditors do not make recommendations or enforce compliance, which
is left to the sole responsibility and authority of the USCG as mandated within the Code of Federal
Regulations and local regulations.
