keep a proper lookout.
A lookout on a vessel is required at all times to ensure safe navigation and to comply with maritime law. This is particularly crucial during periods of reduced visibility, such as fog, heavy rain, or nighttime operations, as well as in busy shipping lanes or near coastal areas. The lookout's role is to spot potential hazards, other vessels, or obstacles to prevent collisions and ensure the safety of the crew and passengers. The requirement for a lookout is stipulated in international maritime conventions, such as the Collision Regulations (COLREGs).
When two vessels are operating in the same general area both vessels are responsible for maintaining a sharp look out.
A general rule of thumb is that the vessel that is the most maneuverable is the one that should keep lookout. Though it is the responsibility of both vessels and the crew to watch what is around them and avoid danger.
