I SPECIAL NOTICE

REGULATION CHANGES CONCERNING PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES

As of 01 May 1995, persons on recreational vessels less than sixteen
feet in length are no longer allowed to count type IV throwable
flotation devices to be in compliance with federal regulations which
require a flotation device for each person on board the vessel. It is
required that

the vessel have one wearable flotation device for each person on board.
All recreational vessels under sixteen feet , including canoes and
kayaks of any length, are subject to this new requirement.

In consideration of the large number of vessels and associated flotation
devices maintained by livery and rental businesses, and the associated
economic impact of this requirement on them, a temporary exemption has
been granted for livery/rental vessels until 01 May 1996. For all other
vessels less than sixteen feet in length, including canoes and kayaks of
any length, an interim grace period of 61 days (01 May 1995 through 30
June 1995) has been established for the purpose of informing/educating
the boating public concerning this new requirement for carrying wearable
flotation devices. This grace period does not apply to violations for
insufficient number of flotation devices on board.

LNM 19(CG5) 09 May 1995

INTENTIONAL ENCOUNTERS WITH WHALES PROHIBITED

From late fall to early spring, various species of whales, including the
severely endangered right whale, may be encountered in the local
offshore and inshore waters. Vessel operators are reminded to use
caution around whales. Intentional close approach to whales is
prohibited and may result in a violation of federal or state law.

NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD ON GPS

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has issued an Urgent
Class I Recommendation to the U.S. Coast Guard following the grounding
of a cruise ship. The recommendation included a request to advise
mariners of the possible safety problems associated with Global
Positioning System (GPS) receivers which automatically revert to dead
reckoning (DR) tracking when satellite fixes are not received for a

period of time.

In the case prompting this advisory, it is believed a cruise ship ran
aground due to an antenna failure resulting in the loss of satellite

signals. This reverted the GPS to use positions based on DR tracking as
input to the autopilot. Alarms indicating the receiver was in the DR
mode were not heard nor detected visually, which led to a course error
of 14 nautical miles. This casualty was preventable by personnel.

Vessel operators are advised of this circumstance and are urged to
review the design of their bridge systems to identify potential system
and operational failure modes that might result in undetected changes to
the autopilot function and develop modifications as required.
Additionally, bridge officers are reminded not to rely on any single aid
to navigation, but to use all navigation resources at hand.

1996 TIDE TABLES, TIDAL CURRENT TABLES

National Ocean Service is no longer printing or distributing the Tide
Table and Tidal Current Tables. As of this date, two publishing firms
are

printing complete 1996 East and West Coast Tide and Tidal Current
Predictions for U. S. ports and coastal areas.

Tide and Current Tables for 1996 are being printed by the International
Marine Division of the McGraw-Hill Companies from original NOS
manuscripts. Tide and Current Tables for 1996 are also being printed by
Thomas Reed Publications in Reed\'s traditional format from original NOS
data files. These products may be obtained in local stores that carry
these products or directly from the publishing firms. For International
Marine, call 1-800-822-8158. For Thomas Reed, call 1-800-995-4995.

CAUTION TO BE USED IN RELIANCE UPON AIDS TO NAVIGATION

The aids to navigation depicted on charts comprise a system of fixed and
floating aids with varying degrees of reliability. Therefore, prudent
mariners will not rely solely on any single aid to navigation,
particularly

a floating aid. With respect to buoys, the buoy symbol is used to
indicate the approximate position of the buoy body and the sinker which
secures the buoy to the seabed. The approximate position is used because
of practical limitations in positioning and maintaining buoys and their
sinkers in precise geographical locations. These limitations include,
but are not limited to, inherent imprecisions in position fixing
methods, prevailing atmospheric and sea conditions, the slope of and the
material making up the seabed, the fact that buoys are moored to sinkers
by varying lengths of chain, and the fact that buoy body and/or sinker
positions are not under continuous surveillance but are normally checked
only during periodic maintenance visits which often occur more than a
year apart. The position of the buoy body can be expected to shift
inside and outside the charting symbol due to the forces of nature. The
mariner is also cautioned that buoys are liable to be carried away,
shifted, capsized, sunk, etc. Lighted buoys may be extinguished or sound
signals may not function as the result of ice, running ice or other
natural causes, collisions, or other accidents. For the foregoing
reasons, a prudent mariner must not rely completely upon the position or
operation of floating aids to navigation, but will also utilize bearings
from fixed objects and aids to navigation on shore. Further, a vessel
attempting to pass close aboard always risks collision with a yawing
buoy or with the obstruction the buoy marks.

BRIDGE-TO-BRIDGE RADIOTELEPHONE PROCEDURES

Federal Regulations regarding the Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone Act
are issued in Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 26 and
47 CFR, Articles 83.251 and 893.701. Briefly, these regulations provide
that all vessels: 1) 300 gross tons and over, 2) 100 gross tons and over
carrying passengers for hire, or 3) 26 feet in length or more engaged in
towing, must maintain a continuous watch on VHF-FM Channel 13 (156.650
MHz) for exchange of navigational safety information such as in passing
situations. Vessels required to have Channel 13 must guard this channel
full time while upon those waters governed by the navigation rules for
harbors, rivers and inland waters. The use of Bridge-to-Bridge
radiotelephone contributes significantly to navigation safety.
Communications on Channel 13 relating to matters other than safety of
navigation are prohibited and violators are subject to being cited and
possibly fined. Use it, but use it properly.

PRIVATE AIDS TO NAVIGATION

Authority: Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 66

Coast Guard Approval: No person, public body, or instrumentality not
under the control of the Coast Guard, exclusive of the Armed Forces,
shall establish, erect, or maintain in the navigable waters of the
United States any aid to maritime navigation, without first obtaining
permission to do so from the Coast Guard, nor shall any person, public
body, or instrumentality change, move, discontinue or transfer ownership
of any private aid to navigation so authorized without first obtaining
permission to do so from the Coast Guard. Private aids to navigation
shall be maintained in proper operating condition, and are subject to
Coast Guard inspection at any time without prior notice.

Application Procedures: Application to establish and maintain Private
aids to navigation shall be made to the Commander, Fifth Coast Guard
District (oan). Application forms (CG-2554) will be provided upon
request. The applicant will complete all appropriate parts of the form
and return it to the District Commander.

Corps of Engineers Approval: Before any private aid to navigation
consisting of a fixed structure, or buoy for any purpose, is placed in
the navigable waters of the United States, authorization to erect such a
structure or establish such a buoy shall also be obtained from the
District Engineer, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in whose district the
aid will be located. Cautionary Note: Prior to the placement of any
structures in the waterway to support an aid to navigation, local
authorities should be contacted to ensure their requirements are met.

Protection of Private Aids: Private aids to navigation lawfully
maintained are entitled to the same protection against interference or
obstruction as is afforded by law to Coast Guard aids to navigation. If
interference or obstruction occurs, a prompt report containing all the
evidence available should be made to the Fifth Coast Guard District, and
any person obstructing or interfering with an authorized private aid to
navigation shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be subject
to a fine not exceeding the sum of \$500 for each offense (33 CFR
70.0l).

WATERWAYS ANALYSIS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (WAMS) -

MD - SEACOAST

USCGC Hornbeam is conducting a Waterways Analysis Management

System (WAMS) survey of the Maryland Seacoast. The area under review

begins at Fenwick Island Light and extends south to the VA/MD border.

The WAMS system was developed to determine the navigational needs

of the users of specific waterways, the adequacy of the navigational
aids

currently in place, and to solicit suggestions to improve navigation in

these regions. The WAMS will be used in determining the future funding

and resources for this region. Mariners are encouraged to contribute

to this analysis by providing comments or suggestions relating to the

navigational system, or waterway. Problems relating to the location of

buoys, range lights, anchorages, repair response times, etc. may be

addressed to:

DREDGING OPERATIONS

The following is a list of dredging operations being conducted in the
Fifth Coast Guard District. All operators should be aware that the
dredge and pontoon lines are held in place by cables which are attached
to anchors some distance from the dredge and pontoons. Buoys are
attached to the anchors so that they may be moved as the dredge
advances. Mariners are advised that dredges, tugs, barges, submerged and
or floating pipes, derricks, operating wires and buoys to mark positions
of anchors may be located in the vicinity of dredging operations and
that aids to navigation may be temporarily relocated to facilitate
dredging. The dredge and related equipment will be lighted and marked in
accordance with International or Inland Navigation Rules and the dredge
will monitor channels 13 and 16 VHF-FM unless otherwise noted. Mariners
are cautioned to strictly comply with Inland Navigation Rules when
approaching, passing and leaving the area of operations, to remain a
safe distance from the equipment, and to contact the dredge for specific
transiting information.
