   CHAPTER I--COAST GUARD, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 188_GENERAL PROVISIONS--Table of Contents
 
       Subpart 188.10_Definition of Terms Used in This Subchapter
 
Sec. 188.10-35  International voyage.

    (a) This section describes those voyages which are considered to be 
``international voyages'' for the purposes of this subchapter.
    (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, the term 
``international voyage'' as used in this subchapter shall have the same 
meaning as that contained in Regulation 2(d), Chapter I of the 
International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, i.e., 
International voyage means a voyage from a country to which the present 
convention applies to a port outside such country, or conversely.''
    (c) The International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, 
does not apply to vessels ``solely navigating the Great Lakes of North 
America and the River St. Lawrence as far east as a straight line drawn 
from Cap de Rosiers to West Point, Anticosti Island and, on the north 
side of Anticosti Island, the 63d Meridian.'' Accordingly, such vessels 
shall not be considered as being on an ``international voyage'' for the 
purpose of this subchapter.
    (d) In addition, although voyages between the continental United 
States and Hawaii or Alaska, and voyages between Hawaii and Alaska are 
not ``international voyages'' under the provisions of the International 
Convention for Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, such voyages are similar in 
nature and shall be considered as ``international voyages'' for the 
purposes of this subchapter.
