Rules of the Road. RULE 2, 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.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.
Give-way vessel
If two boats are approaching from the port (left) side, and you have a red side light, it means they are on a collision course with your vessel. You should take immediate action to avoid a collision by altering your course or speed.
For a collision to be effective, two things must occur: the collision must have enough energy to overcome any energy barriers in the reactants, and the reactant molecules must approach each other with the correct orientation to allow the necessary bonds to form.
Give-way vessel
A collision could occur when the distance between two vessels decreases and the bearing remains constant. This indicates that the vessels are on a collision course. Vigilance and timely action to change course or speed are critical to avoid a collision.
Both vessels are responsible for avoiding a collision. This means that both vessels must take action to prevent a collision from occurring, following the rules and regulations of navigation at sea. Collision avoidance measures typically involve communication, maintaining a proper lookout, and taking evasive maneuvers when necessary.
When the distance between two vessels decreases and the bearing remains constant, a collision is likely to occur. This is known as a "constant bearing decreasing range" situation, which indicates that the vessels are on a collision course. Immediate action is necessary to avoid a potential collision.
A collision can occur when the distance between two vessels decreases and they are on a collision course. If the bearing between the vessels remains constant or consistent at changing distance points, it indicates that they are not taking effective action to avoid a collision. Close monitoring and appropriate maneuvers are necessary to prevent a potential collision in such situations.
Both boat operators are responsible for avoiding a collision. The International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea stipulate procedures for determining the give-way vessel and the stand-on vessel based on the vessels' positions and actions. Both operators must take action to avoid a potential collision.
stay the same
The two forces must be equal and opposite.
A boat collision occurs when the bearing between two boats remains constant over time, indicating that they are on a collision course. This is a dangerous situation that requires immediate evasive action to avoid a potential impact.
