Question 2

Part A RULE 2

Answer 2

Responsibility:
Nothing in these rules shall exonerate any vessel, or the owner, master, or crew therefore, from the consequences of any neglect to comply with these rules or of the neglect of any precaution which may be required by ordinary practice of seamen, or by special circumstances of the case.
(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 l, including the limitations of the vessels involved WHICH MAY MAKE A DEPARTURE FROM THESE RULES NECESSARY TO AVOID IMMEDIATE DANGER

Answer 3

Definitions

Question 4

Part B Steering and sailing rules
(Conduct of ves in any condition of vis)
RULE 4

Answer 4

Application:
Rules in this section apply to any condition of visibility

Question 5

Part B Steering and sailing rules
(Conduct of ves in any condition of vis)
RULE 5

Answer 5

Look out:
Every vessel shall AT ALL TIMES MAINTAIN a proper LOOK OUT 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

Question 6

Part B Steering and sailing rules
(Conduct of ves in any condition of vis)
RULE 6

Answer 6

Safe speed
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 take into account

Question 7

RULE 6 factors of safe speed

Answer 7

By all vessels:
1. The state of VISIBILITY
2.The TRAFFIC density
3.The MANEUVERABILITY of the vessel
4. The BACKGROUND light at night
5. the STATE of wind, sea, currents ,
PROXIMITY of navigation hazards
6. The DRAFT in relation to depth of water

Question 8

RULE 6
Factors of safe speed with radar

Answer 8

1. The characteristics, efficiency, and limitations of the radar
2. Any constraints imposed by the radar range scale in use
3. The effect on radar detection of the sea state, weather, and other sources of interference
4. The possibility that small vessels, I’ve, and other floating objects may not be detected by radar at an adequate range
5. The number, location, and movement of vessels detected by radar
6. The more exact assessment of visibility that may be possible when radar is used to determine the range of vessels or other objects in the vicinity

Question 9

Part B Steering and sailing rules
(Conduct of ves in any condition of vis)
RULE 7

Answer 9

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 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

Question 10

Part B Steering and sailing rules
(Conduct of ves in any condition of vis)
Rule 8

Answer 10

Action to avoid collision:

(a) Any action taken 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.
(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.
(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.
(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.
(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.
