Abstract

The navigation requirements for vessels navigating the high seas and coastal inland waters of the United States are contained in a pamphlet entitled 'Rules of the Road, International-Inland,' CG-169. The navigation requirements for vessels navigating the Great Lakes are set forth in a pamphlet entitled 'Rules of the Road, Great Lakes,' CG-172. These pamphlets are published by the Coast Guard as required by statute and may be obtained upon request to Coast Guard Marine Inspection Offices or the Commandant (CAS-2/81), U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, 400 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, D.C. 20590. The Coast Guard is responsible for the enforcement of these rules and regulations. It is the duty of all persons navigating or piloting vessels to familiarize themselves with the requirements of these rules and to conform strictly therewith in the navigation of their vessels. To this end, Coast Guard personnel concerned with the administration and enforcement of these laws and regulations will extend every possible assistance. (Author)
