Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The purpose of this chapter is to establish a uniform waterway
			marking system of aids to navigation, including regulatory markers compatible
			with  Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 62, United States Aids to
			Navigation System, to which all waterway markers owned by state, local
			government, or private parties shall conform. The United States Aids to
			Navigation System is designed to assist the recreational boater in safe
			navigation and to allow the state and its political subdivisions to provide
			uniform regulatory information regarding vessel operation on the waters of
			Washington state not serviced by a marking system administered by the federal
			government.
Statutory Authority: RCW 43.51.040. 90-07-051, §
										352-66-010, filed 3/19/90,

Washington Administrative Code › Title 352 - Parks and Recreation Commission › Chapter 352-66 - United states aids to navigation system › Section 352-66-020 - Definitions

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
As used in this chapter, the following terms have the meanings
			indicated unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
(1) "Aid to navigation" means any device
		  external to the vessel intended to assist the navigator to determine position
		  or safe course or to warn of dangers or obstructions.
(2) "Beacons" are aids to navigation
		  structures permanently attached to the earth's surface. Lighted beacons are
		  called lights; unlighted beacons are called day beacons.
(3) "Buoyage" means a system of
		  buoys.
(4) "Buoys" are any waterway
		  markers designed to float on the water while anchored in a fixed position so as
		  to be clearly visible to operators of an approaching vessel and used to convey
		  an official message.
(5) "Lateral
		  system" is a system of waterway markers prescribed in  Title 33, Code of Federal
		  Regulations, Part 62, employing an arrangement of shapes, colors, numbers, and
		  light characteristics to indicate to a vessel operator the preferred direction
		  of travel for safe passage. They may be either beacons or buoys.
(6) "Navigable waters of the United States."
		  The term navigable waters of the United States is defined in  Title 33, Code of
		  Federal Regulations, Part 62  means:
(a)
		  Territorial seas of the United States;
(b) Internal waters of the United States that
		  are subject to tidal influences that: Are or have been used, or are or have
		  been susceptible for use, by themselves or in connection with other waters, as
		  highways for substantial interstate or foreign commerce, notwithstanding
		  natural or man-made obstructions that require portage.
Washington Administrative Code › Title 352 - Parks and Recreation Commission › Chapter 352-66 - United states aids to navigation system › Section 352-66-030 - General regulations

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) On the
		  navigable waters of Washington state, marking to assist navigation is
		  accomplished by a lateral system of buoyage for use with nautical charts. The
		  lateral system is used by the United States Coast Guard in the marking of
		  navigable waters of the United States as determined by the United States Coast
		  Guard Commandant. The lateral system may be also used by the state and
		  subdivisions thereof for private aids to navigation only when all applicable
		  permits for private aids to navigation have been approved by the United States
		  Coast Guard and other federal, state, or local authorities.
(2) The USATONS has been developed to provide
		  a system of visual, audible, and electronic signals which are designed to
		  assist the prudent mariner in the process of navigation. They have been
		  established to provide a means to convey to the recreational vessel operator
		  adequate guidance to indicate safe boating channels by indicating the presence
		  of either natural or artificial obstructions or hazards, marking restricted or
		  controlled areas, and providing directions. The USATONS is suited to use on all
		  waters of Washington state and is designed to satisfy the needs of all types of
		  recreational vessels.
(3) The U.S.
		  Aids to Navigation System is primarily a lateral system which employs a simple
		  arrangement of colors, shapes, numbers, and light characteristics to mark the
		  limits of navigable routes. This lateral system is supplemented by nonlateral
		  aids to navigation where appropriate.
(4) Generally, lateral aids to navigation
		  indicate on which side of a vessel an aid to navigation should be passed when
		  the vessel is proceeding in the conventional direction of buoyage. Normally,
		  the conventional direction of buoyage is the direction in which a vessel enters
		  navigable channels from seaward and proceeds towards the head of navigation. In
		  the absence of a route leading from seaward, the conventional direction of
		  buoyage generally follows a clockwise direction around land masses.
(5) Although aids to navigation are
		  maintained to a reasonable degree of reliability, the rigors of the marine
		  environment and various equipment failures do cause discrepancies on
		  occasion.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Lateral marks
		  define the port and starboard sides of a route to be followed. They may be
		  either beacons or buoys.
(2) Side
		  marks are lateral marks which advise the mariner to stay to one side of the
		  mark. Their most frequent use is to mark the sides of channels; however, they
		  may be used individually to mark obstructions outside of clearly defined
		  channels. Side marks are not always placed directly on a channel edge and may
		  be positioned outside the channel as indicated on charts and nautical
		  publications.
(3) Port hand marks
		  indicate the left side of channels when proceeding in the conventional
		  direction of buoyage. Beacons have green square daymarks, while buoys are green
		  can or pillar buoys.
(4) Starboard
		  hand marks indicate the right side of channels when proceeding in the
		  conventional direction of buoyage. Beacons have red triangular daymarks, while
		  buoys are red nun or pillar buoys.
(5) Preferred channel marks indicate channel
		  junctions or bifurcations and may also mark wrecks or obstructions which the
		  mariner, after consulting a chart to ascertain the location of the obstruction
		  relative to the aid, may pass on either side. Preferred channel marks have red
		  and green horizontal bands with the color of the topmost band indicating the
		  preferred channel. If the topmost band is green, the mark serves as a port hand
		  mark for vessels following the preferred channel proceeding in the conventional
		  direction of buoyage, and as a starboard hand mark for the other channel.
		  Beacons would have square daymarks, while buoys would be can or pillar buoys.
		  If the topmost band is red, the mark serves as a starboard hand mark for
		  vessels following the preferred channel proceeding in the conventional
		  direction of buoyage, and a port hand mark for the other channel. Beacons would
		  have triangular daymarks, while buoys would be nun or pillar buoys.
(6) The color schemes in this section apply
		  to IALA Region B (Washington state).

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Ranges are aids to navigation systems employing dual beacons
			which, when the structures appear to be in line, assist the mariner in
			maintaining a safe course. The appropriate nautical chart must be consulted
			when using ranges to determine whether the range marks the centerline of the
			navigable channel and also to ascertain what section of the range may be safety
			traversed. Ranges are generally, but not always, lighted, and display
			rectangular daymarks of various colors.
Washington Administrative Code › Title 352 - Parks and Recreation Commission › Chapter 352-66 - United states aids to navigation system › Section 352-66-150 - Numbers and letters

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) All solid red
		  and solid green aids are numbered, with red aids bearing even numbers and green
		  aids bearing odd numbers. The numbers for each increase in the conventional
		  direction of buoyage. Numbers are kept in approximate sequence on both sides of
		  the channel by omitting numbers where necessary.
(2) Only side marks are numbered. However,
		  aids other than those mentioned in (1) of this section may be lettered to
		  assist in their identification, or to indicate their purpose. Side marks may
		  carry letters in addition to numbers to identify the first aid to navigation in
		  a waterway, or when new aids to navigation are added to channels with
		  previously completed numerical sequences. Letters on side marks will follow
		  alphabetical order from seaward and proceeding toward the conventional
		  direction of buoyage and will be added to numbers as suffixes.
(3) Aids to navigation may be fitted with
		  light-reflecting material to increase their visibility in darkness. The colors
		  of this material may convey the same significance as the aid except that
		  letters and numbers may be white.
Washington Administrative Code › Title 352 - Parks and Recreation Commission › Chapter 352-66 - United states aids to navigation system › Section 352-66-160 - Light characteristics

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Lights on aids
		  to navigation are differentiated by color and rhythm. Lighthouses and range
		  lights may display distinctive light characteristics to facilitate recognition.
		  No special significance should be attached to the color or rhythm of such
		  lights. Other lighted aids to navigation employ light characteristics to convey
		  additional information.
(2) When
		  proceeding in the conventional direction of buoyage, aids to navigation, if
		  lighted, display light characteristics as follows:
(a) Green lights mark port (left) sides of
		  channels and locations of wrecks or obstructions which are to be passed by
		  keeping these lights on the port (left) hand of a vessel. Green lights are also
		  used on preferred channel marks where the topmost band is green.
(b) Red lights mark starboard (right) sides
		  of channels and locations of wrecks or obstructions which are to be passed by
		  keeping these lights on the starboard (right) hand of a vessel. Red lights are
		  also used on preferred channel marks where the topmost band is
		  red.

(1) Often sound
		  signals are located on or adjacent to aids to navigation. When visual signals
		  are obscured, sound signals warn mariners of the proximity of danger.
(a) Sound signals are distinguished by their
		  tone and phase characteristics.
(b)
		  Tones are determined by the devices producing the sound (i.e., diaphones,
		  diaphragm horns, reed horns, sirens, whistles, bells, and gongs).
(c) Phase characteristics are defined by the
		  signal's sound pattern, i.e., the number of blasts and silent periods per
		  minute and their durations.
Washington Administrative Code › Title 352 - Parks and Recreation Commission › Chapter 352-66 - United states aids to navigation system › Section 352-66-180 - Racons

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Aids to navigation may be enhanced by the
		  use of radar beacons (racons). Racons, when triggered by a radar signal, will
		  transmit a coded reply to the interrogating radar. This reply serves to
		  identify the aid station by exhibiting a series of dots and dashes which appear
		  on the radar display in a line emanating radially from just beyond the echo of
		  the aid station. Although racons may be used on both laterally significant and
		  nonlaterally significant aids alike, the racon signal itself is for
		  identification purposes only, and therefore carries no lateral
		  significance.
(2) Racons are also
		  used as bridge marks to mark the best point of passage.
Washington Administrative Code › Title 352 - Parks and Recreation Commission › Chapter 352-66 - United states aids to navigation system › Section 352-66-200 - Maritime radio beacons

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Maritime radio
		  beacons operate during specific intervals as published in
Coast Guard
		  Light Lists
. For station identification, simple characteristics
		  consisting of combinations of dots and dashes are used. The transmitted power
		  of maritime radio beacons is adjusted to provide a usable signal at the service
		  range which meets the operational requirement.
(2) Carrier type operation. Radio beacons
		  superimpose the characteristic code on a carrier frequency which is on
		  continuously during the period of transmission. This extends the usefulness of
		  maritime radio beacons to aircraft and ships employing automatic direction
		  finders
(3) Special calibration
		  radio beacons, as listed in the current editions of the
Coast Guard
		  Light Lists
, will broadcast continuously for the purpose of enabling
		  vessels to calibrate their direction finders upon request either to the
		  cognizant district commander, or, if time does not permit, directly to the
		  calibration station.
(4) Caution: A
		  vessel steering a course for a radio beacon should observe the same precautions
		  that apply when steering for a light or any other mark.
(5) Distance cannot be accurately determined
		  by radio beacon signal. Mariners must exercise extreme caution when the aid to
		  navigation which supports the radio beacon is not visible, and no other means
		  of determining its distance is available.
(6) If the radio beacon is aboard a large
		  navigational buoy (LNB) or on any marine site, particular care should be
		  exercised to avoid the possibility of collision. In addition, caution should be
		  exercised in using radio beacons aboard floating aids, because of the
		  possibility that the aid could be off station.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1)
		  Mariners should notify the nearest Coast Guard facility immediately of any
		  observed aids to navigation defects or discrepancies.
(2) The Coast Guard cannot monitor the many
		  thousands of aids in the U.S. Aids to Navigation System simultaneously and
		  continuously. As a result, it is not possible to maintain every aid operating
		  properly and on its charted position at all times. Marine safety will be
		  enhanced if persons finding aids missing, sunk, capsized, damaged, off station,
		  or showing characteristics other than those advertised in the
Light
		  List
, or other publication, promptly inform the Coast Guard.
