SOLAS/IMO stuff only applies to international waters. So I don't
think it would have helped you friend navigating on inland waters.



One side of the Rhine is Germany...the other France. That's pretty
international....except when Germans send troops and Panzers across.

Yes, but "international waters" in this case means waters covered by
72 COLREGS (ie. outside the COLREGS demarcation lines)... That
doesn't include the Rhine.
