Two short horn blasts from another vessel typically indicate that the vessel intends to overtake you on your starboard side. This is a communication signal used in maritime navigation to ensure safe passing between vessels. It’s important for both parties to understand these signals to maintain safety and avoid collisions. Always respond appropriately to such signals to ensure clear intentions are communicated.
Two short horn blasts from another vessel typically indicate that the vessel is maneuvering to overtake or pass you on your port (left) side. This is a signal used to communicate intentions between vessels to ensure safe navigation and avoid collisions. It’s important to respond appropriately by maintaining your course and speed, allowing the overtaking vessel to pass safely.
When two boats approach each other, they use horn blasts to signal the other about their intentions when it comes to moving to avoid collision. 5 short blasts indicates that the signaling boat is unsure about what the other boat is doing.
