Inland Navigation Rules
The Navigation Rules establish actions to be taken by vessels to avoid collision.  The rules are divided into two parts, Inland and International.  Inland Rules apply to vessels operatinf inside the line of demarcation while International Rules apply to vessels operating outside these areas.  Demarcation lines are printed on most navigational charts and published in the Navigation Rules.

The owner or operator of each self-propelled vessel 39.4 feet or more shall carry on board and maintain for ready reference a copy of the Navigation Rules.  When it is required to carry a copy of the Rules aboard, a complete copy must be carried.
