🔍 Key Concepts

• International Rules (COLREGS) vs Inland Navigation Rules and where each applies • The meaning of COLREGS demarcation lines shown on charts • How territorial sea, contiguous zone, and pilotage areas differ from Rules of the Road boundaries

💭 Think About

• Look at how nautical charts mark the change from Inland Rules to International Rules—what specific line or symbol is used? • Which of the listed options actually corresponds to an official boundary used in the Navigation Rules, rather than a political, customs, or pilotage boundary? • Does pilotage, customs enforcement, or charted demarcation have the controlling effect on when International Rules begin to apply?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check the Navigation Rules (COLREGS) applicability section for how the seaward limit and demarcation are defined. • Verify on a chart whether the territorial sea boundary and the COLREGS demarcation line are in the same position or can be different. • Confirm whether a pilotage area or the contiguous zone boundary is ever used in the Rules as the point where International Rules start to govern.
