Exceptions
39
Elements of safe speed
- Maneuverability - Traffic density - Visibility - Background lighting - Environment - Draft
40
Safe speed rule
Every vessel shall at all times proceed at a safe speed so that she can take proper and effective action to avoid collision and be stopped within a distance appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions
41
Lookout rule
Every vessel shall at all times maintain a proper lookout by sight and hearing as well as by 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
42
Overtaking rule
- Any vessel overtaking any other shall keep out of the way of the vessel being overtaken - Deemed overtaking when coming up with another vessel from a direction more than 22.5° abaft the beam
43
Head-on situation rule
Unless otherwise agreed, when two power-driven vessels are meeting on reciprocal or nearly reciprocal courses so as to involve risk of collision, each shall alter her course to starboard so that each shall pass on the port side of the other
44
Crossing situation rule
When two power-driven vessels are crossing so as to involve risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on her starboard side shall keep out of the way and shall avoid crossing ahead of the other vessel
45
Action by give-way vessel
Every vessel which is directed to keep out of the way of another vessel shall, take early and substantial action to keep well clear
46
Action to avoid collision rule
- Shall be positive, made in ample time and with due regard to good seamanship - Shall be large enough to be readily apparent to the other vessel - Shall result in a safe passing distance - If necessary shall slow or stop
47
Risk of collision rule
Every vessel shall use 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
48
Action by give-way vessel rule
Every vessel which is directed to keep out of the way of another vessel shall, so far as possible, take early and substantial action to keep well clear
49
Action by stand-on vessel rule
- Shall keep course and speed - May take action to avoid collision by her maneuver alone, as soon as it becomes apparent that the give-way vessel is not taking appropriate action - Shall take action to avoid collision when so close that collision cannot be avoided by the action of the give-way vessel alone
50
Vessel hierarchy
- Not under command - Restricted in ability to maneuver - Constrained by draft - Fishing - Sailing - Power-driven - Seaplane
51
