The Rules\u003cbr\u003e(commonly called 72 COLREGS) are part of the Convention, and\u003cbr\u003evessels flying the flags of states ratifying the treaty are bound to the\u003cbr\u003eRules. The United States has ratified this treaty and all United States\u003cbr\u003eflag vessels must adhere to these Rules where applicable. President\u003cbr\u003eGerald R. Ford proclaimed 72 COLREGS and the Congress adopted\u003cbr\u003ethem as the International Navigational Rules Act of 1977.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 72 COLREGS were developed by the Inter-Governmental\u003cbr\u003eMaritime Consultative Organization (IMCO) which in May 1982 was\u003cbr\u003erenamed the International Maritime Organization (IMO). In November\u003cbr\u003e1981, IMO’s Assembly adopted 55 amendments to the 72 COLREGS\u003cbr\u003ewhich became effective on June 1, 1983. The IMO also adopted 9\u003cbr\u003emore amendments which became effective on November 19, 1989.\u003cbr\u003eThe International Rules in this book contain these amendments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese Rules are applicable on waters outside of established navigational\u003cbr\u003elines of demarcation. The lines are called COLREGS\u003cbr\u003eDemarcation Lines and delineate those waters upon which mariners\u003cbr\u003eshall comply with the Inland and International Rules. COLREGS\u003cbr\u003eDemarcation Lines are contained in this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInland Rules\u003cbr\u003eThe Inland Rules in this book replace the old Inland Rules, Western\u003cbr\u003eRivers Rules, Great Lakes Rules, their respective pilot rules and\u003cbr\u003einterpretive rules, and parts of the Motorboat Act of 1940. Many of the\u003cbr\u003eold navigation rules were originally enacted in the last century.\u003cbr\u003eOccasionally, provisions were added to cope with the increasing complexities\u003cbr\u003eof water transportation. Eventually, the navigation rules for\u003cbr\u003eUnited States inland waterways became such a confusing patchwork\u003cbr\u003eof requirements that in the 1960’s several attempts were made to\u003cbr\u003erevise and simplify them. These attempts were not successful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003eLEGAL CITATIONS \u003cbr\u003eCONVERSION TABLE\u003cbr\u003eNAVIGATION RULES AND REGULATIONS\u003cbr\u003e—International and Inland\u003cbr\u003ePART A—General\u003cbr\u003eRule 1—Application\u003cbr\u003eRule 2—Responsibility\u003cbr\u003eRule 3—General Definitions\u003cbr\u003ePART B—Steering and Sailing Rules\u003cbr\u003eSection\/Subpart I—Conduct of Vessels In Any Condition of\u003cbr\u003eVisibility\u003cbr\u003eRule 4—Application\u003cbr\u003eRule 5—Look-out\u003cbr\u003eRule 6—Safe Speed\u003cbr\u003eRule 7—Risk of Collision\u003cbr\u003eRule 8—Action to Avoid Collision\u003cbr\u003eRule 9—Narrow Channels\u003cbr\u003eRule 10—Traffic Separation Schemes\/Vessel Traffic Services\u003cbr\u003eSection\/Subpart II—Conduct of Vessels In Sight of One Another\u003cbr\u003eRule 11—Application\u003cbr\u003eRule 12—Sailing Vessels\u003cbr\u003eRule 13—Overtaking\u003cbr\u003eRule 14—Head-on Situation\u003cbr\u003eRule 15—Crossing Situation\u003cbr\u003eRule 16—Action by Give-way Vessel\u003cbr\u003eRule 17—Action by Stand-on Vessel\u003cbr\u003eRule 18—Responsibilities Between Vessels\u003cbr\u003eSection\/Subpart III—Conduct of Vessels In Restricted Visibility\u003cbr\u003eRule 19—Conduct of Vessels in Restricted Visibility\u003cbr\u003ePART C—Lights and Shapes\u003cbr\u003eRule 20—Application\u003cbr\u003eRule 21—Definitions\u003cbr\u003eRule 22—Visibility of Lights\u003cbr\u003eRule 23—Power-driven Vessels Underway\u003cbr\u003eRule 24—Towing and Pushing\u003cbr\u003eRule 25—Sailing Vessels Underway and Vessels Under Oars\u003cbr\u003eRule 26—Fishing Vessels\u003cbr\u003eRule 27—Vessels Not Under Command or Restricted in\u003cbr\u003eTheir Ability to Maneuver\u003cbr\u003eRule 28—Vessels Constrained by Their Draft\/[Reserved]\u003cbr\u003eRule 29—Pilot Vessels\u003cbr\u003eRule 30—Anchored Vessels and Vessels Aground\u003cbr\u003eRule 31—Seaplanes\u003cbr\u003ePART D—Sound and Light Signals\u003cbr\u003eRule 32—Definitions\u003cbr\u003eRule 33—Equipment for Sound Signals\u003cbr\u003eRule 34—Maneuvering and Warning Signals\u003cbr\u003eRule 35—Sound Signals in Restricted Visibility\u003cbr\u003eRule 36—Signals to Attract Attention\u003cbr\u003eRule 37—Distress Signals\u003cbr\u003ePART E—Exemptions\u003cbr\u003eRule 38—Exemptions\u003cbr\u003eANNEX I—POSITIONING AND TECHNICAL DETAILS OF LIGHTS\u003cbr\u003eAND SHAPES\u003cbr\u003eANNEX II—ADDITIONAL SIGNALS FOR FISHING VESSELS\u003cbr\u003eFISHING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY\u003cbr\u003eANNEX lII—TECHNICAL DETAILS OF SOUND SIGNAL\u003cbr\u003eAPPLIANCES\u003cbr\u003eANNEX IV—DISTRESS SIGNALS\u003cbr\u003eANNEX V—[BLANK] \/PILOT RULES\u003cbr\u003eINTERPRETATIVE RULES\u003cbr\u003eCOLREGS DEMARCATION LINES\u003cbr\u003ePENALTY PROVISIONS\u003cbr\u003eViolations of International Navigation Rules and Regulations\u003cbr\u003eViolations of Inland Navigation Rules and Regulations\u003cbr\u003ePenalties for negligent operations","brand":"www.survivalebooks.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068775579888,"sku":"2940013501911","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013501911","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
