VGP Annual Barge Inspection Report Form

Visually inspect all areas of the barge affected by the requirements in the VGP that can be inspected without putting the barge on drydock. Special attention should be paid to those areas most likely to result in a discharge violating the VGP. Areas that inspectors must examine include, but are not limited to: barge hull for living organisms, flaking antifoulant paint, exposed TBT; ballast water tanks if applicable; oily water separator (OWS) sensors, as applicable; oil and chemical storage areas, cargo areas, and waste storage; and, all visible pollution control measures to ensure that they are functioning properly. The VGP Annual Barge Inspection Report Form mobile app allows you to replace your paper vessel inspection with a handheld mobile device like a smartphone or tablet. The mobile form includes fields to document items such as barge owner, date inspected, time inspected, barge number and barge type. Once the mobile app is filled out a secure PDF is generated. The PDF is easy to share, and a copy is stored in your account for your marine vessels records. You can also use the App Builder to personalize and customize this mobile form.
