The Rules are part of the Convention, andvessels flying the flags of states ratifying the treaty are bound to theRules. The United States has ratified this treaty and all United Statesflag vessels must adhere to these Rules where applicable. PresidentGerald R. Ford proclaimed 72 COLREGS and the Congress adoptedthem as the International Navigational Rules Act of 1977.The 72 COLREGS were developed by the Inter-GovernmentalMaritime Consultative Organization which in May 1982 wasrenamed the International Maritime Organization . In November1981, IMO’s Assembly adopted 55 amendments to the 72 COLREGSwhich became effective on June 1, 1983. The IMO also adopted 9more amendments which became effective on November 19, 1989.The International Rules in this book contain these amendments.These Rules are applicable on waters outside of established navigationallines of demarcation. The lines are called COLREGSDemarcation Lines and delineate those waters upon which marinersshall comply with the Inland and International Rules. COLREGSDemarcation Lines are contained in this book.Inland RulesThe Inland Rules in this book replace the old Inland Rules, WesternRivers Rules, Great Lakes Rules, their respective pilot rules andinterpretive rules, and parts of the Motorboat Act of 1940. Many of theold navigation rules were originally enacted in the last century.Occasionally, provisions were added to cope with the increasing complexitiesof water transportation. Eventually, the navigation rules forUnited States inland waterways became such a confusing patchworkof requirements that in the 1960’s several attempts were made torevise and simplify them.
