REQUIRED OPERATIONAL CAPABILITIES AND PROJECTED OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR THE 175-FOOT COASTAL BUOY TENDER -KEEPER CLASS:  

Due to the required operational capabilities and projected operational environment for the 175-foot coastal buoy tender-keeper class, per reference (a), there are potential safety concerns associated with commercial facilities locatedoutside of the inside passages of Southeast, AK, and the protected waters of the Pacific Northwest. During the scheduled period of industrial performance, the Gulf of Alaska exceeds sea state four (4) 52% of the time, per reference (b), thereby providing limited safe windows for the CGC ANTHONY PETIT to safely complete the 3-day transit across the Gulf of Alaska. Encountering sea states beyond the design limitations of the vessel could have a disastrous impact on the seaworthiness of the vessel placing the cutter crew’s safety at risk.  To safely cross the Gulf of Alaska, CGC ANTHONY PETIT would be required to wait for an acceptable forecasted sea state, which would jeopardize theCGC ANTHONY PETIT’s ability to meet the operational schedule.
