Refer to Rule XI U.S. Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Act Section (A) General Explanation.

Code 6826F applies to employers engaged in providing waterfront facilities for recreational boats of various sizes, from small inboard and outboard motorboats to seagoing yachts.

Marinas usually have some boat handling equipment but leave the heavy handling work to the repair and storage yards.  The amount of equipment that they install or provide may sometimes depend upon the proximity of other yards capable of hauling out boats of all types and sizes.  However, they usually have a boom hoist, jib crane or other small boat hoisting rig for launching and recovery.  A marina provides any of a variety of services for boats and boat owners such as in-season wet and dry berthing, winter storage, limited repair facilities and maintenance, launching for transients, marine supplies stores, fuel and fueling equipment, dockside electricity, fresh water, restrooms and showers, clubhouse or administration buildings, and automobile parking space.

Certain marina customers may moor their vessels in water some distance from the marina.  The marina may transport these customers to their vessels using watercraft.  These operations may be assigned to this classification.  However, caution should be exercised in assigning these transportation operations to these marina classifications since coverage for these operations may fall under Admiralty Law jurisdiction.
