paragraph in this document references only marine or only inland
waterway transport. Inland waterways are defined as those waterways
with various degrees of protection, such as rivers, canals,
intracoastal waterways, and sheltered bays. These waterways can be
fresh or saltwater but are usually traversed by barges. Marine
waterways are defined as waterways over open seas with limited or
no protection from wind, current, waves, and the like. These areas
are normally traversed by sea-going vessels. These recommendations
apply to steel line pipe that has 2 3/8-in.

These recommendations cover coated or uncoated pipe, but they do
not encompass loading practices designed to protect pipe coating
from damage. These recommendations are not applicable to
pipe-laying vessels or supply vessels. They must be considered as
supplementary to the existing rules of governing agencies.
These recommendations are supplemental to shipping rules for the
convenience of purchasers and manufacturers in the specification of
loading and shipping practices and are not intended to inhibit
purchasers and manufacturers from using other supplemental loading
and shipping practices by mutual agreement.
