USCG — United States Coast Guard

Parent: U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Domains in this note: uscg.mil, dco.uscg.mil.

What they regulate

The Coast Guard (DHS) handles maritime safety, security, vessel documentation, and related stewardship missions. Ocean freight-forwarder / NVOCC (OTI) licensing is FMC; domestic property brokers are FMCSA; customs is CBP. Yacht and vessel brokerage still needs correct title/docs — indexed ≠ endorsed.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

How to verify

  1. USCG home — Maritime safety, security, and stewardship — not an FMC OTI licence register.
  2. USCG Navigation Center / maritime safety context — Vessel/documentation and safety layers differ from FMC commercial OTI licensing.
