Title 46 of the United States Code
Title 46 of the United States Code, titled "Shipping", outlines the federal laws contained within the United States Code that pertain to the shipping industry. It was gradually codified into the Positive Law of the United States, with partial codifications being enacted in the years 1988, 2002, and 2003. The title was fully codified into the Positive Law on October 6, 2006, when then-President George W. Bush signed Public Law 109-304 into law. Portions of the U.S.C. labeled "transferred" have been moved to another title of the United States code either via an Act of Congress or by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel. The size of chapters of law vary - some contain several sections (such as 46 U.S.C. Ch. 51, which contains 16 sections), and some contain just a few (such as 46 U.S.C. Ch. 141, which contains just 4 sections).
