Several recent riveted vessel repair jobs have highlighted a shortage of good information generally available on rivet repairs. This circular is intended to provide marine inspectors, surveyors, and vessel owner/operators with best practice guidance to use while conducting inspections on older, riveted hull, steel vessels. Officers in Charge, Marine Inspection, should help ensure widest dissemination of this information. Coast Guard inspectors and U.S. vessel owners/operators are encouraged to use the guidance found in this NVIC to assist them in conducting inspections and repairs on vessels built using riveted construction.
