(a)Requirement.— The master of a vessel of the United States, when ice is reported on or near the vessel’s course, shall proceed at a moderate speed or change the course of the vessel to go well clear of the danger zone.

(b)Civil Penalty.— A master violating this section is liable to the United States Government for a civil penalty of not more than $500.

(Pub. L. 109–304, § 11, Oct. 6, 2006, 120 Stat. 1693.)

In subsection (b), the words “liable to the United States Government for a civil penalty” are substituted for “liable to a fine” for clarity and for consistency in the revised title. The words “for each offense” are omitted as unnecessary.
