PART 164_NAVIGATION SAFETY REGULATIONS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 164.37  Equipment: Vessels of 10,000 gross tons or more.

    (a) Each vessel of 10,000 gross tons or more must have, in addition 
to the radar system under Sec. 164.35(a), a second marine radar system 
that operates independently of the first.
    Note: Independent operation means two completely separate systems, 
from separate branch power supply circuits or distribution panels to 
antennas, so that failure of any component of one system will not render 
the other system inoperative.
    (b) On each tanker of 10,000 gross tons or more that is subject to 
46 U.S.C. 3708, the dual radar system required by this part must have a 
short range capability and a long range capability; and

each radar must have true north features consisting of a display that is 
stabilized in azimuth.
