  24. Safe Manning International Voyage • A voyage between a country to which SOLAS applies and a port outside that country. • For the purposes of this subchapter, vessels are not considered as being on an "international voyage" when solely navigating the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River as far east as a straight line drawn from Cap des Rosiers to West Point, Anticosti Island and, on the north side of Anticosti Island, the 63rd meridian 46 CFR 24.10-1
