U.S. Coast Guard Forces Micronesia/Sector Guam ensures maritime safety and environmental stewardship with notable tank vessel exam
Marine inspectors from the U.S. Coast Guard Forces Micronesia/Sector Guam, under the authority of the Captain of the Port Guam, conduct a Certificate of Compliance (COC) examination and Port State Control inspection on the tank vessel Cindy Glory while in Guam, on Sept. 22, 2023. This inspection marked a significant milestone as it was the vessel's first COC and first time in U.S. waters. The Cindy Glory, a state-of-the-art 600-foot tanker built in 2023 and flagged out of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, underwent rigorous scrutiny during the inspection, where no deficiencies were found.
