BOATING TERMINOLOGY
An easy way to remember PORT side from STARBOARD side is “PORT” and
“LEFT” both have four letters.
MARPOL Treaty
The USCG enforces the International Convention for the Prevention of
Pollution from ships, commonly referred to as the MARPOL Treaty (Marine
Pollution). This treaty prohibits the overboard dumping of all ship-generated
plastics, chemicals, garbage and oil.
WARNING LABELS
The warning labels on your Tigé boat must remain legible. If a label is
damaged or you suspect a label is missing, contact your Tigé Dealer for
immediate replacement.
There are several labels placed throughout the boat to warn you about
potential hazards.
All persons should wear a suitable life preserver/personal flotation device
when on deck, especially children, disabled people and non-swimmers.
Inform all passengers on the proper use of personal flotation devices and
of the location of safety equipment, man overboard recovery equipment and
the location and deployment of the ladder.
In some countries it is a legal requirement to wear a suitable life preserver/
personal flotation device that complies with those countries’ regulations at
all times.
RESTRICTED AREAS
Before boating, check with local, state and federal authorities to identify
restricted areas. Because of the threat of terrorism, the U.S. Coast Guard
has implemented and will continue to enforce strict limits on watercraft near
U.S. Navy and Coast Guard ships and other potential targets.
