due to the available depth and width of her navigable water

Answer 7

I will take a series of compass bearings of the approaching vessel. If the compass bearings remain the same or do not appreciably change then a risk of collision is deemed to exist. She is the stand on vessel. I am the “keep out of way” vessel. I shall sound one short blast of the whistle for duration of 1 second. I will make a bold alteration of course to STBD by 40-60 degrees. I will monitor the situation and once she is past and clear return to original course.

Answer 8

I will take a series of compass bearings of the approaching vessel. If compass bearings remain constant or do not appreciably change a risk of collision is deemed to exist. I am the stand on vessel. I shall maintain course and speed. I may, however, take action to avoid collision by my manoeuvre alone As soon as it becomes apparent that the other vessel is not taking appropriate action in compliance with the rules I shall sound 5 short rapid blasts Call master Engage hand steering If there is no response I shall sound 1 short blast and turn to STBD If the vessel that has to maintain course and speed Finds herself so close That action of give way vessel alone Connor avoid collision I SHALL take such action as will be best to avoid collision. I shall sound 5 short rapid blasts and take any action necessary to avoid collision.

Answer 9

... risk of collision exists. R15, R18 However, under R10 no vessel shall impede on my safe passage in the TSS. I shall sound 5 short rapid blasts to remind her of her obligation not to impede. If there is no response then the normal steering and sailing rules apply and will act accordingly.

Answer 10

…risk of collision exist. I am the “shall not impede” vessel. I shall take early action To allow sufficient sea room To allow the safe passage of the do not impede vessel. I will sound one short blast and turn to STBD to parallel the vessels course.
