Statute overview

About this statute

This amendment updates inland shipping rules, including who must be on board, required documents and signals, radio use, special transport permissions, and certain reporting and safety duties. The provision sets navigation and equipment rules for ships, including radar use, right-of-way, bridge and lock behavior, ferryboat rules, and a 20 km/h limit for fast motorboats. This provision sets navigation and vessel-operation rules for certain waterways, including limits on berthing, side-of-channel navigation for small vessels, radar-reflector and radio-watch duties, and bans on some watersports and towing/convoy arrangements unless conditions are met. The text explains several navigation-rule changes, including special treatment for some vessels under 20 m, a 40 km/h speed criterion for fast ships, and a duty for the skipper to stay aboard during navigation. This amendment reorganizes inland navigation rules and clarifies how vessels meet, cross, and pass each other, including the starboard-side rule and use of the blue board.
