This instruction forwards International and Inland Navigation Rules and Regulations for use by Coast Guard personnel. This manual contains the International Regulations for Prevention of Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS). It also contains the Inland Navigation Rules which were enacted by law on 24 December 1980 and became effective for all Inland waters except the Great Lakes on 24 December 1981. The Inland Rules became effective on the Great Lakes on 1 March 1983. Some differences do remain between the International and Inland Rules. The side-by-side presentation of the Rules in this publication will allow mariners to determine those differences. On 19 November 1989, nine amendments to the 72 COLREGS became effective. These nine amendments are technical in nature and are incorporated in this publication. The Coast Guard has adopted several amendments to the Inland and International Rules and Annexes which are also included in this revision. This publication includes all revisions through 30 September 1995.
