COLREGS. Under statutory law,
however, specified 72 COLREGS
provisions are not applicable to a vessel
of special construction or purpose if the
Coast Guard determines that the vessel
cannot fully comply with those
requirements without interfering with
special function of the vessel.1

of a special construction or purpose
vessel may apply to the Coast Guard
