(a) The purpose of this Part is to implement the provisions of the Ship deck-to-deck Radiotelephony Act. This Part: (1) Requires the use of marine radio from bridge to bridge; (2) Provides the Coast Guard`s interpretation of the meaning of important terms in the Act; (3) Prescribes procedures for requesting a waiver of the Act and the regulations made under the Act, as well as a list of exceptions. (b) Nothing in this Part relieves a person of the obligation to comply with the applicable Highway Rules and Pilot Rules. (a) This rule applies to traffic separation systems adopted by the Organization and does not release any ship from its obligation under any other provision; All ships are warned that when U.S. Navy ships are hit in international and domestic waters, some of the navigation lights they display may be special lights for naval purposes. When used, they may be displayed together with the ordinary navigation lights required by the International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea, 1972 or the Rules for Inland Navigation. Luminaires shall be arranged and characterized in such a way that, as far as possible, they cannot be confused with light permitted by one of the two sets of rules. This Party publishes the special rules for these additional parking and signal lights issued by the Minister of marine for naval vessels. Section 5 of the Act states that the radiotelephone required by this Act shall be designated exclusively by the master or person in charge of the ship or the person designated by the master or the person in charge to control or direct the movement of the ship that maintains a listening clock at the specified frequency. Nothing in this document shall be construed to prevent the use of portable radios to comply with the requirements of this Act.
6. Maintenance of the two-way radio; Two-way radio failure. Section 6 of the Act states: (a) Whenever radio capacity is required under this Act, a ship`s intercom equipment shall be maintained in an efficient operating state. If the radiotelephony system on board a ship ceases to function, the master shall ensure that it is restored as soon as possible or restored to its actual working state. Failure of a ship`s intercom equipment does not in itself constitute a violation of this Act and does not require the master of a ship to moor or anchor his ship; however, the loss of radio capacity must be taken into account in the navigation of the ship. 7. Communication. No person may use the services of a person and no one may serve as a person who is required to maintain a listening clock in accordance with section 5 of the Act, 33 U.S.C. 1204, unless the person can communicate in English. 8.
