SAFETY ALERTS: The purpose of safety alerts is the rapid dissemination of information to the public about conditions that, if left unaddressed, pose urgent threats to safety of life at sea and/or severe material damage. They are not used to implement changes to policies, regulations, or laws.

 

SAFETY ADVISORIES: The purpose of safety advisories, which are a form of marine safety information bulletin (MSIB) issued by the Office of Investigations and Analysis, Commandant (CG-INV), is to provide brief, concise, and timely information regarding safety issues and topics affecting people within the maritime transportation system.
