CG – 515 Plus Foreign Vessel Rules (Book 1 & 2)
This book contains selected regulations enforced by the United States Coast Guard from Title 33: Navigation and Navigable Waters, and Title 46: Shipping of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) through July 1, 2016. These two titles are of primary concern to foreign and domestic shipping interests. It is useful to remember the distinction between the regulations in Titles 33 and 46. In simplest terms, the regulations in Title 33 refer to bodies of water, while the regulations in Title 46 refer to ships that sail these waters. This publication ‘selectively’ covers these two titles in that the chosen sections were originally identified by the Coast Guard as significant to owners, operators, and agents of foreign-flag vessels.
