                           TITLE 46--SHIPPING
 
   CHAPTER I--COAST GUARD, DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 42_DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN VOYAGES BY SEA--Table of Contents
 
        Subpart 42.05_Definition of Terms Used in This Subchapter
 
Sec. 42.05-45  International voyage.

    (a) The term international voyage as used in this part shall have 
the same meaning as the term international voyage in Article 2(4) of the 
1966 Convention. Except for vessels operating solely on the waters 
indicated in Article 5(2) of the 1966 Convention, an international 
voyage means a sea voyage from any country to a port outside such 
country, or conversely. For this purpose, every territory for the 
international relations of which any specific Contracting Government is 
responsible or for which the United Nations are the administering 
authority is regarded as a separate country.
    (b) The 1966 Convention does not apply to vessels solely navigating 
the Great Lakes. Accordingly, such vessels shall not be considered as 
being on an international voyage for the purpose of this subchapter.
    (c) For the purpose of administration of load line requirements in 
this subchapter, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Territory of Guam, 
the Virgin Islands, and all possessions and lands held by the United 
States under a protectorate or mandate shall each be considered to be a 
territory of the United States.
