1Opinion of the Court
J. BLAINE ANDERSON, Circuit Judge:
In this action we are called upon to interpret certain United States shipping laws. Three of Western Pioneer’s vessels were cited or threatened with citation for violations of 46 U.S.C. §§ 367, 404, 672, and 673, dealing with inspection of vessels and qualification of crew members.1 Western Pioneer’s defense was based on exemptions from those statutes for “cannery tender” and “fishing tender” vessels. The Coast Guard and the district court characterized Western Pioneer’s operations as falling outside the tender vessel exemptions. We affirm.
