1. A WLB's design limits its use to protected and inland waters. The cutter is not crewed for continuous steaming and is normally limited to daylight transits. Due to crewing and cutter employment standards, seven days transit is the limit of crew endurance under normal operating conditions. Ten hours of transit per day is the planning factor due to crew fatigue. WLB's have a maximum speed of 10 knots, however, environmental factors frequently limit average speed to 6.5 knots.
