7.5.6 Boat Handling Collision Rules a) Between Power Boats: When two boats are coming at each other head on, each boat driver should steer right (starboard) so that they pass each other on the left. When two boats are heading generally in the same direction, but on a collision course, the boat on the left yields to the boat on the right. b) Between Power Boats and Sail Boats: Generally, it is the duty of the power boat to keep out of the way of sailboats. However, this does not give the sailing boat/vessel the right to hamper the safe passage of a power boat/vessel. 7.5.7 Port Regulations Power Boats a) It is the duty of any person having control of a power boat to navigate so as to avoid collision or injury to any person or vessel in the same area or disturbed by its wake. The boat must be managed with due care and consideration with regard to the prevailing conditions and the likelihood of other person being present or coming into the area occupied by the boat or its wake. You are responsible for the effects of your wake as you are for the effects of the boat itself. b) No boats or vessels may exceed a speed of five (5) knots when in Malakal Harbor area in Koror State. c) Sixteen (16) is the minimum age required to operate a power boat. A boat operator under this age may do so only if under the supervision of an adult. d) Boat operator must obey orders from Koror State Marine Law Enforcement personnel. e) Every person in a power boat is considered to be in control of the vessel for the purposes of assigning fault or liability for violations of these rules. In the case of a dive boat, all staff would be held responsible for a violation. 7.5.8 Diving Rules a) No power boat may come within 100 yards of a diver’s down flag or light. You must not display the divers down flag unless you have divers in the water. The only exception is in a rescue operation. b) Diving is restricted to an area within 100 yards of the divers down flag or light. c) No person may swim or dive in a navigational channel and Malakal Harbor, except a rescue or an authorized operation. 7.5.9 Ski Boats a) There must be two people operating a ski boat. One at the wheel and the other acting as a lookout person and all must wear a life preserver. b) No skiing is allowed within any navigational channel, Malakal harbor, Dive Site or Rock Islands. 122
7.5.10 Personal Watercraft (See Koror State Personal Watercraft Regulations) a) Personal watercraft (PWC) operators are required to wear a life preserver to include passengers. b) Personal watercrafts are not allowed to be operated within any navigational channel, Malakal Harbor and all Rock Islands. c) Personal watercrafts are only allowed in the designated areas. Please check with Koror State Rangers for detailed information. 7.5.11 Fishing Boats a) Stay clear of all fishing boats. b) Look out for the boats which are tailing off beyond the drop off. They often have very long anchor/mooring lines which are often marked with a small buoy. c) Watch for your wake. Many people fish in a very small boat. Not only may your wake disturb them, it may create a danger of capsizing a small boat. d) Trolling fishing boats often use very long lines. If you see a boat trolling, stay very wide from it to avoid getting tangled up with the trolling lines. Have fun but remember, the life you save may be your own! 7.6 <strong>KOROR</strong> <strong>STATE</strong> PERSONAL WATERCRAFT REGULATIONS (K7-139-2003) effective as of May 2003 7.6.1 Section I AUTHORITY These regulations are promulgated and enforced by the Governor of Koror. They will be effective sixty (60) calendar days after becoming law, and shall have the force and effect of law and bind every person within the state’s jurisdiction, except as to personal watercraft being used for governmental purposes, including emergency rescue and environmental and/or scientific research or study (provided such personal watercraft is clearly marked and identifiable as being primarily used for governmental purposes), and to personal watercraft being operated by participants in a professional exhibition or a regatta, race, marine parade, tournament, exhibition or water safety demonstration (provided such event occurs with the Governor’s prior, express written permission and pursuant to event rules and regulations also approved by the Governor and enforced by the event’s sanctioning body and/or officials). Each ticketed violation hereunder shall carry a One Hundred Dollar ($100) fine and/or ninety (90) days of incarceration. These regulations are based upon the best available information – a body of knowledge that continues to evolve as more jurisdictions around the world adopt and promulgate similar regulations. Therefore, the Governor reserves the right to modify these regulations when and as he deems wise in light of then-current scientific and/or regulatory findings. 123
