When a vessel is passing you on the right side, you should maintain a steady course and speed to avoid creating confusion. Ensure that you have adequate clearance and be mindful of the wake created by the passing vessel. If necessary, communicate via radio or sound signals to indicate your intentions. Always keep a lookout for any changes in the situation and be prepared to take evasive action if needed.
The thoracic duct is the vessel that drains lymph from all parts of the body except the right side of the chest, right arm, and head. It is the largest lymphatic vessel in the body and plays a crucial role in returning lymph to the bloodstream.
The side of a vessel sheltered from the wind is called the "lee" side. This term refers to the side that is protected from the wind's direct force, allowing for calmer conditions. Conversely, the side facing the wind is known as the "windward" side.
In maritime navigation, visible white lights indicate a vessel's masthead light or stern light, while green lights signify the starboard side of a vessel. When encountering another vessel in darkness, if you see a green light, it means the vessel is approaching from your right side. Conversely, a visible white light could suggest that you are either approaching the stern of the vessel or that it is facing you. Understanding these light signals helps in determining the direction and movement of nearby vessels to avoid collisions.
As the right vessel radius increased, the rate of flow in the vessel also increased. This is because as the radius of a vessel increases, the cross-sectional area for fluid flow also increases, allowing more fluid to pass through per unit of time. This relationship is described by Poiseuille's law for laminar flow in a cylindrical vessel.
The vessel that conveys oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle is called the pulmonary artery.
I intend to pass you on my port (left) side.It means I intend to LEAVE you on my port side. That means you will be overtaking the vessel you are approaching (which is the stand on vessel and has the right away) and leaving it on YOUR port side. Simply put you are over taking the vessel and maneuvering to your right. If you are passing from behind and the other vessel is in agreement they will sound the same sound, one short blast. To pass on the opposite side leaving them on your starboard side then you will sound two short blasts. If in agreement you will hear two short blasts in return.
If you are standing in the center of the vessel facing to the front the port side is on your left and the starboard side is on your right.
passing on port side
When passing on the starboard side, a vessel typically signals its intention with one short blast of the horn. This indicates that the vessel intends to pass to the right of the other vessel. The other vessel should respond with one short blast as well, confirming the maneuver. This communication helps ensure safe navigation and avoids collisions at sea.
No. The one on the right has right of way. There is an old rule that says "if you are on the right, you are right."
Starboard (right side).
The Right Side.
Right (starboard side)
The right side of the vessel is the starboard side, the light is green. The light is coordinated to the starboard side of the vessel no matter how you look at it. Refer to Rule 21 of the 72 COLREGS, a link is provided below.
Left side = passing side. Right side = suicide.
The right when looking forward from the aft of the vessel
During nighttime transit another boat's lights show: Green - the right, or starboard side, of that vessel; Red - the left, or port side, of that vessel; White - the rear of that vessel. The vessel is heading directly toward you
