What the heck is that supposed to mean?

Technically, any vessel engaged in commerce, including charter or
rental, is an "inspected vessel."


Completely wrong. An "inspected vessel" is a legal description of the
operation, manning, construction, and maintenance of a vessel holding a
Certificate of Inspection. The USCG very specifically differentiates
between an "inspected vessel" and an "uninspected vessel." They are two
distinct and separate regulatory areas.

You may have caught me flat-footed on this one... I was only going on
what I was told by someone who ought to know. I guess I'd better do
some homework, 'cuz I don't like giving people bad information.
