Q
Rule 1
A
Application
(a) These Rules shall apply to all vessels upon the high seas and in all waters connected therewith navigable by seagoing vessels.
(b) Nothing in these Rules shall interfere with the operation of special rules made by an appropriate authority for roadsteads, harbours, rivers, lakes or inland waterways connected with the high seas and navigable by seagoing vessels. Such special rules shall conform as closely as possible to these Rules.
(c) Nothing in these Rules shall interfere with the operation of any special rules made by the Government of any State with respect to additional station or signal lights, shapes or whistle signals for ships of war and vessels proceeding under convoy, or with respect to additional station or signal lights or shapes for fishing vessels engaged in fishing as a fleet. These additional station or signal lights, shapes or whistles shall, so far as possible, be such that they cannot be mistaken for any light, shape or signal authorised elsewhere under these Rules.
(d) Traffic separation schemes may be adopted by the Organisation for the purpose of these Rules.
(e) Whenever the Government concerned shall have determined that a vessel of special construction or purpose cannot comply fully with the provision of any of these Rules with respect to the number, position, range or arc of visibility of lights or shapes, as well as to the disposition and characteristics of sound-signalling appliances, such vessel shall comply with such other provisions in regard to the number, position, range or arc of visibility of lights or shapes, as well as to the disposition and characteristics of sound-signalling appliances, as her Government shall have determined to be the closest possible compliance with these Rules in respect of that vessel.
23
Q
Rule 2
A
Responsibility
** (a)** Nothing in these Rules shall exonerate any vessel, or the owner, master, or crew
thereof, from the consequences of any neglect to comply with these Rules or of the
neglect of any precaution which may be required by the ordinary practice of seamen,
or by the special circumstances of the case.
e.g ** A vessel underway would be expected to keep clear of a vessel at anchor as a
matter of seamanship**
(b) In construing and complying with these Rules due regard shall be had to all
dangers of navigation and collision and to any special circumstances, including the
limitations of the vessels involved, which may make a departure from these Rules
necessary to avoid immediate danger.
a power-driven vessel meeting another powerdriven vessel end on may be unable to alter her course to starboard, as directed by
Rule 14, owing to the presence of shallow water close by to starboard or to the fact
that a third vessel is overtaking her on her starboard side.
Duty to depart if necessary:
If a departure from the Rules is necessary to avoid immediate danger a vessel would
not only be justified in departing from them but may be expected to do so.
24
Q
Which way would you go?
A
** To STBD to keep STBD side open**

Rule 3
**General Definitions**
For the purpose of these Rules, except where the context otherwise requires:
- The word “vessel” includes every description of water craft, including nondisplacement craft, WIG craft and seaplanes, used or capable of being used as a
means of transportation on water.
**(b)** The term “power-driven vessel” means any vessel propelled by machinery.
**(c)** The term “sailing vessel” means any vessel under sail provided that propelling
machinery, if fitted, is not being used.
**(d)** The term “vessel engaged in fishing” means any vessel fishing with nets, lines,
trawls or other fishing apparatus which restrict manoeuvrability, but does not include
a vessel fishing with trolling lines or other fishing apparatus which do not restrict
manoeuvrability.
**(e)** The word “seaplane” includes any aircraft designed to maneuver on the water.
**(f)** The term “vessel not under command” means a vessel which through some
**exceptional circumstance** is unable to manoeuvre as required by these Rules and is
therefore unable to keep out of the way of another vessel.
**For a vessel to be considered ‘not under command’ there must be some exceptional
circumstances, such as breakdown of steering gear, or loss of propulsion power,
resulting in a restriction of her ability to manœuvre as required by the Rules of Part
B of the Steering and Sailing Rules**

Meaning of RAM
means a vessel which
from the **nature of her work** is restricted in her ability to manoeuvre as required by
these Rules and is therefore unable to keep out of the way of another vessel.

Rule 6
**SAFE SPEED**
**VDMLWD** **CCEPNM**
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
**In determining** a safe speed, the following factors shall be among those taken into
account:
**VDMLWD**
**(a)** By all vessels:
(i) the state of visibility
(ii) the traffic density including concentrations of fishing vessels or any other
vessels
(iii) the manoeuvrability of the vessel with special reference to stopping
distance and turning ability in the prevailing conditions
(iv) at night the presence of background light such as from shore lights or from
back scatter of her own lights
(v) the state of wind, sea and current, and the proximity of navigational
hazards
(vi) the draught in relation to the available depth of water. **SQUAT*
**CCEPNM**
**(b)** Additionally, by vessels with operational radar:
(i) the characteristics, efficiency and limitations of the radar equipment
(ii) any constraints imposed by the radar range scale in use
(iii) the effect on radar detection of the sea state, weather and other sources of
interference
(iv) the possibility that small vessels, ice and other floating objects, may not be
detected by radar at an adequate range
(v) the number, location and movement of vessels detected by radar
(vi) the more exact assessment of the visibility that may be possible when radar
is used to determine the range of vessels or other objects in the vicinity.
**safe speed is a prerequisite in all conditions of visibility**
41
Rule 7
**RISK OF COLLISION**
(a) 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.
(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.
(c) Assumptions shall not be made on the basis of scanty information, especially
scanty radar information.
(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** an **appreciable bearing change is
evident**, particularly when approaching a very large vessel or a tow or
when approaching a vessel at close range.
42
Rule 8
**ACTION TO AVOID COLLISION**
(a) Any action to avoid collision shall be taken in accordance with the rules of this
Part and, if the circumstances of the case admit, be positive, made in ample time and
with due regard to the observance of good seamanship.
(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.
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.
(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.
(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.
**Do not impede**
(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 safe passage of another vessel is
not relieved of this 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
43
Rule 9
**Narrow Channels**
(a) A vessel proceeding along the course of a narrow channel or fairway shall keep as
near to the outer limit of the channel or fairway which lies on her starboard side as is
safe and practicable.
**we drive on the right**
(b) A vessel of **less than 20 metres** in length or a **sailing vessel** shall not impede the
passage of a vessel which can safely navigate only within a narrow channel or
fairway.
Small craft and sailing vessels are therefore expected to take early action to keep well
clear of vessels which can only navigate within the channel or fairway, without
waiting to determine if risk of collision exists.
(c) **A vessel engaged in fishing shall not impede** the passage of any other vessel
navigating within a narrow channel or fairway.
(d) **A vessel shall not cross** a narrow channel or fairway if such crossing **impedes** the
passage of a vessel which can safely navigate only within such channel or fairway.
The latter vessel may use the sound signal prescribed in Rule 34(d) if in doubt as to
the intention of the crossing vessel.
** 5 SHORT RAPID BLASTS**
(e) In a narrow channel or fairway when overtaking can take place **only if the vessel
to be overtaken has to take action to permit safe passing**, the vessel intending to
overtake shall indicate her intention by sounding the appropriate signal prescribed in
Rule 34c.
(i) The vessel to be overtaken shall, if in agreement, sound the appropriate
signal prescribed in Rule 34(i) and (ii) and take steps to permit safe
passing. If in doubt she may sound the signals prescribed in Rule 34(d);
** 5 SHORT RAPID BLASTS**
(ii) This Rule does not relieve the overtaking vessel of her obligation under
Rule 13. **highest of the high**
(f) A vessel nearing a bend or an area of a narrow channel or fairway where other
vessels may be obscured by an intervening obstruction shall navigate with particular
alertness and caution and shall sound the **appropriate signal** prescribed in Rule 34(e).
34(e) **1 Prolongued blast**
(g) Any vessel shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, **avoid anchoring in a
narrow channel.**
44
Rule 10
**Traffic Separation Schemes**
(a) This Rule applies to traffic separation schemes adopted by the Organization and
does not relieve any vessel of her obligation under any other rule.
**lowest of the low** - least powerful rule
(b) A vessel using a traffic separation scheme shall:
(i) **Proceed** in the appropriate traffic lane in the general direction of traffic
flow for that lane
(ii) so far **as practicable keep clear** of a traffic separation line or separation
zone
(iii) normally **join or leave** a traffic lane at the termination of the lane, but
**when joining or leaving** from either side shall do so at as small an angle to
the general direction of traffic flow as practicable.
(c) A vessel shall so far as practicable **avoid crossing** traffic lanes, but if obliged to do
so shall cross on a heading as nearly as practicable at right angles to the general
direction of traffic flow.
See MGN 364.
(d)
(i) A vessel **shall not use** an **inshore traffic zone** when she can safely use the
appropriate traffic lane within the adjacent traffic separation scheme.
However, **vessels of less than 20 m** in length, **sailing vessels** and **vessels
engaged in fishing** may use the inshore traffic zone.
(ii) Notwithstanding subparagraph d (i), a vessel may use an inshore traffic
zone **when en route to or from a port**, **offshore installation or structure**,
**pilot station** or **any other place situated within the inshore traffic zone or to
avoid immediate danger**.
(e) A vessel other than a crossing vessel or a vessel joining or leaving a lane shall not
normally enter a separation zone or cross a separation line except:
(i) **in cases of emergency to avoid immediate danger**
(ii) to **engage in fishing** within a separation zone.
(f) A vessel navigating in areas near the **terminations** of traffic separation schemes
shall do so with **particular caution.**
(g) A vessel shall so far as practicable **avoid anchoring** in a traffic separation scheme
or in areas near its terminations.
(h) A vessel **not using** a traffic separation scheme shall **avoid** it by as wide a margin as
is practicable.
(i) A vessel **engaged in fishing shall not impede the passage of any vessel following a
traffic lane**.
(j) A vessel of **less than 20** metres in length or a **sailing vessel shall not impede** the
safe passage of a power-driven vessel following a traffic lane.
(k) A vessel **restricted in her ability** to manoeuvre when engaged in an operation for
the **maintenance of safety** of navigation in a traffic separation scheme is exempted
from complying with this Rule to the extent necessary to carry out the operation.
(l) A vessel **restricted in her ability to manoeuvre** when **engaged in an operation for**
the **laying, servicing or picking up of a submarine cable**, within a traffic separation
scheme, is exempted from complying with this Rule to the extent necessary to carry
out the operation

SECTION II
46
Rule 11
**Application**

47
Rule 12
**SAILING VESSELS**
(a) **When two sailing vessels are approaching one another, so as to involve risk of
collision,** one of them shall keep out of the way of the other as follows:
(i) **when each has the wind on a different side**, the vessel which has the wind
on the **port side** shall keep out of the way of the other
(ii) when both have the **wind on the same side**, the **vessel** which is to
**windward** shall keep out of the way of the **vessel which is to leeward**
(iii) if a vessel with the wind on the **port side sees a vessel to windward** and
cannot determine with certainty whether the other vessel has the wind on
the port or on the starboard side, she shall **keep out of the way of the other.**
(b) For the purposes of this Rule the **windward side** shall be deemed to be the side
**opposite to that on which the mainsail** is carried or, in the case of a square-rigged
vessel, the side opposite to that on which the largest fore-and-aft sail is carried.
48
Rule 13

**OVERTAKING**
**HIGHEST** **YOU MUST KEEP CLEAR**
(a) **Notwithstanding** anything contained in the Rules of Part B, Sections I and II,
**Any vessel overtaking any other shall keep out of the way of the vessel being
overtaken.**
(b) A vessel shall be **deemed to be overtaking** when coming up with another vessel
from a **direction more than 22.5 degrees abaft her beam**, that is, in such a position
with reference to the vessel she is overtaking, that at night she would be able to see
only the stern light of that vessel but neither of her sidelights.
(c) When a vessel is in **any doubt** as to whether she is overtaking another, she shall
**assume that this is the case** and act accordingly.
**if you are not sure, you are overtaking **
(d) Any **subsequent alteration** of the bearing between the two vessels shall not make
the overtaking vessel a crossing vessel within the meaning of these Rules or relieve
her of the duty of keeping clear of the overtaken vessel until she is finally past
and clear.
**once overtaking, always overtaking** - must keep clear
**Every vessel overtaking any other is obliged to keep clear of the overtaken vessel.
This Rule applies even to cases in which the bearing is changing appreciably. If a
vessel coming up relatively close to another vessel from any direction more than 22.5°
abaft her starboard beam, draws ahead, and then subsequently turns to port to come on
to a crossing course, she is not relieved of the duty of keeping clear**
49
Rule 14

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.
**the definition of head-on**
(b) Such a situation shall be deemed to exist when a **vessel sees the other ahead** or
**nearly ahead** and by night she could see the **masthead lights **of the other in a line or
**nearly in a line** and/or both sidelights and by day she observes the corresponding
aspect of the other vessel.
(c) When a vessel is **in any doubt** as to whether such a situation exists, **she shall
assume that it does exist and act accordingly**
50
Rule 15
**Crossing Situation**
When two **power-driven vessels** are crossing so as to involve risk of collision, the
vessel which has the other on her own starboard side shall keep out of the way and
shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, **avoid crossing ahead of the other vessel.**
51
Rule 16
**Action by give-way vessel**
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.
52
Rule 8
**Action to avoid collision**
