Rule 5
Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper look-out by sight and hearing, as well as all available means appropriate in the prevailing circumstances and conditions so as to make a full appraisal of the situation and of the risk of collision
163
Rule 7 (a)
Every vessel shall us all available means appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions to determine if risk of collision exists. If there is any doubt such risk shall be deemed to exist
164
Rule 7 (b)
Proper use shall be made of radar equipment if fitted and operational, including long-range scanning to obtain early warning of risk of collision and radar plotting or equivalent systematic observation of detected objects
165
Rule 7 (c)
Assumptions shall not be made on the basis of scanty information, especially scanty radar information
166
Rule 7 (d)
In determining if risk of collision exists the following considerations shall be among those taken into account:
i) such risk shall be deemed to exist if the compass bearing of an approaching vessel does not appreciably change
ii) such risk may sometimes exist even when and appreciable bearing change is evident, particularly when approaching a very large vessel or a tow or when approaching a vessel at close range
167
Rule 7
Risk of Collision
168
Rule 8 (a)
Any action to avoid collision shall be taken in accordance with the Rules of this Part and shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, be positive, made in ample time and with due regard to the observance of good seamanship
169
Rule 8 (b)
Any alteration of course and/or speed to avoid collision shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, be large enough to be readily apparent to another vessel observing visually or by radar; a succession of small alterations of course and/ or speed should be avoided
170
Rule 8 (c)
If there is sufficient sea room, alteration of course alone may be the most effective action to avoid a close-quarters situation provided that it is made in good time, is substantial and does not result in another close-quarters situation
171
Rule 8 (d)
Action taken to avoid collision with another vessel shall be such as to result in passing at a safe distance. The effectiveness of the action shall be carefully checked until the other vessel is finally past and clear
172
Rule 8 (e)
If necessary to avoid collision or allow more time to assess the situation, a vessel shall slacken her speed or take all way off by stopping or reversing her means of propulsion
173
Rule 8 (f)
i) A vessel which, by any of these rules, is required not to impede the passage or safe passage of another vessel shall, when required by the circumstances of the case, take early action to allow sufficient sea room for the safe passage of the other vessel
ii) a vessel required not to impede the passage or the safe passage of another vessel is not relieved of this latter obligation if approaching the other vessel so as to involve risk of collision and shall, when taking action, have full regard to the action which may be required by the rules of this Part
iii) A vessel the passage of which is not to be impeded remains fully obliged to comply with the rules of this Part when the two vessels are approaching one another so as to involve risk of collision
