Vessels whose draft permits shall keep outside the buoys marking the ends of mooring lines of floating plant working in channels. § 201.13 Aids to navigation marking floating-plant moorings. Breast, stern, and bow anchors of floating plant working in navigable channels shall be marked by barrel or other suitable buoys. By night approaching vessels shall be shown the location of adjacent buoys by throwing a suitable beam of light from the plant on the buoys until the approaching vessel has passed, or the buoys may be lighted by red lights, visible in all directions, of the same character as specified in § 201.8(a). § 201.14 Obstruction of channel by floating plant. Channels shall not be obstructed unnecessarily by any dredging or other floating plant.

When special or temporary regulations have not been prescribed and action under the regulations contained in §§ 201.10 to 201.14, will not afford clear passage, floating plant in narrow channels shall, upon notice, move out of the way of vessels a sufficient distance to allow them a clear passage. Vessels desiring passage shall, however, give the master of the floating plant ample notice in advance of the time they expect to pass. NOTE: If it is necessary to prohibit or limit the anchorage or movement of vessels within certain areas in order to facilitate the work of improvement, application should be made through official channels for establishment by the Secretary of the Army of special or temporary regulations for this purpose. § 201.16 Protection of marks placed for the guidance of floating plant. Vessels shall not run over anchor buoys, or buoys, stakes, or other marks placed for the guidance of floating plant working in channels; and shall not anchor on the ranges of buoys, stakes, or other marks placed for the guidance of such plant. § 201.20 Lights for Great Lakes pilot vessels.
