    (c) The load lines aft of the combined disk and diamond will be 
applicable for voyages on the Great Lakes and those on the forward side 
will be applicable to limited coastwise voyages. The summer line on the 
ocean will correspond to the summer line on the Lakes and the winter 
line on the ocean will correspond to the intermediate line on the Lakes.
    (d) In the case of vessels which operate both on special service 
coastwise voyages and on unlimited coastwise voyages, the marks on the 
ship's sides are to be in accordance with figure 44.05-10 (d). The load 
lines aft of the disk will be applicable to voyages in special service 
coastwise or inter-island voyages and those on the forward side will be 
applicable to unlimited coastwise voyages. (A vessel marked for both 
special service and unlimited coastwise voyages and furnished with a 
load line certificate on the international form shall, when entering the 
foreign trade, arrange that the load line markings are in accord with 
the vessel's international load line certificate by the elimination of 
the marks aft of the disk.)
