Which type of vessels are included by NMCPHC authorized agents for issuing vessel certificates?

In the context of the NMCPHC (Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center) and the issuance of vessel certificates, Coast Guard vessels are included as they are considered part of the regulatory framework that oversees public health standards at sea. These certificates ensure that vessels meet the necessary sanitation requirements to protect both crews and passengers from potential health risks related to food and water safety, waste disposal, and other sanitation issues.

Coast Guard vessels undergo inspections and are subject to regulations that align with the standards set by public health authorities. Therefore, they are recognized by authorized agents to assess compliance and issue certificates based on these health and sanitation guidelines. This is essential not only for operational integrity but also for safeguarding the health of individuals onboard.

The other types of vessels mentioned do not fall under this specific context for NMCPHC authorized certificate issuance. For instance, foreign military vessels may have different standards and protocols, private yachts typically operate outside the regulatory scope of NMCPHC, and while international freight vessels are crucial for global trade, their certification would not be managed by the same authorities in terms of sanitation certificates as Coast Guard vessels.
