Sec. 46.10-45  Nonsubmergence subdivision load lines in salt water.

    (a) Passenger vessels required to be marked with subdivision load 
lines, engaged on foreign and coastwise voyages other than the Great 
Lakes voyages, shall not submerge in salt water the subdivision load 
line applicable to the voyage. Passenger vessels engaged on ocean, 
foreign or coastwise voyages may be marked with fresh water load lines. 
A passenger vessel on foreign or coastwise voyages (except Great Lakes 
voyages) may have an allowance made for the degree of brackishness of 
the water in which the vessel is floating but not for the weight of 
fuel, water, etc., required for consumption between the point of 
departure and the open sea, and no allowance is to be made for bilge or 
ballast water that may be in the passenger vessel at the time of 
departure.
