Exemption Permit for the M/V SUPPLIER or M/V TRANSPORTER

Notification of issuance of Alaska cargo exemption permit.

Commander, Seventeenth Coast Guard District, has issued a permit exempting two vessels from requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations when transporting cargo, including bulk fuel, within Alaska. Permits temporarily waive vessel inspection requirements to facilitate the movement of cargo, including bulk fuel, to remote Alaskan sites when inspected cargo vessels are not reasonably available. Sundog Charters Inc., the operator of M/V SUPPLIER (O.N. 1205481) and M/V TRANSPORTER (O.N. 1321256), received a single permit allowing one of the vessels to conduct on-going bulk fuel deliveries of up to a total of 8,000 gallons of heating oil, diesel, gasoline and aviation gasoline carried in approved portable tanks on deck, between Kodiak and remote sites around the island. The permit expires on 06 March 2026. This notification of issuance of a permit promotes the Coast Guard's marine safety mission and the flow of essential cargo to remote sites.

The waiver permit was issued on 6 March 2025; it expires on 6 March 2026.
