The San Francisco Bay Vessel Mutual Assistance Plan (SF-VMAP) is a contingency plan describing actions to be taken by USCG Sector San Francisco, The San Francisco Marine Exchange and Ferryboat Operators for evacuating passengers from a stricken ferryboat. This plan recognizes that such efforts would quickly overwhelm the capacity of a normal Coast Guard response and would require the assistance of nearby underway ferryboats. 2. This plan has been written to support: a. The U.S. Coast Guard addendum to the National Search and Rescue Supplement to the International Aeronautical and Marine Search and Rescue Manual, Commandants Instruction M-16130.2D, dated 29 April 2004, b. The Eleventh Coast Guard District’s operations plan, CCGDELEVEN OPLAN 9810-05, and c. The Eleventh Coast Guard District’s mass rescue operations plan. 3. This plan ensures that a sufficient level of safety exists under Title 46, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 117(f) so that small passenger vessels meeting the criteria of section 117(f) carry an appropriate number and type of survival craft, enhancing local capabilities to effectively manage a catastrophic, waterborne Search and Rescue incident.
