The International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea apply to all vessels on the high sea and all waterways connected therewith.
"Vessel" includes every description of watercraft used or capable of being used on the water, including
• small boats
• sailboats
• motor boats
• pleasure boats
• commercial boats
• ships
• jetski
• seaplanes
This is international law - it does apply to you!
• what actions are required to avoid close quarters situations and risk of collision
• your legal obligations and those of the other vessels involved
• Persons in charge of vessels both commercial or recreational must have the knowledge and fully understand:
You must understand:
• Assessing the Risk
• Who Gives Way?
• What action to take to avoid a collision
• You must avoid a collision by taking clear and obvious actions.
• Always use a safe speed.
The first question is "Does a risk of collision exist?"
If there is a risk, then both skippers have responsibilities.
One is deemed the "stand on" vessel and the other the 'give way' vessel.
However, there is no absolute right and wrong and you both have a duty to avoid a close quarters situation or a collision.
Crossing situation
The stand on vessel should hold its course and speed
She should also carefully monitor what action the "give way" vessel is taking and ask if it is enough action.
The give way vessel should alter it's course and/or speed to stay well clear of the "stand on" vessel.
Give way or stand-on?
You are the "give way" vessel in a crossing situation if you see the other craft approaching from the starboard (right) side. At night you would see the red side light of the other vessel.
You are the "stand on" vessel in a crossing situation if you see the other craft approaching from your "port side" (left) . At night you would see the green side light of the other vessel.
Overtaking
An overtaking vessel (one which falls within an arc of 135° at the rear of the craft being overtaken) must keep well clear of the vessel it is overtaking.
The vessel being overtaken must maintain its course and speed until finally past and clear.

Very nicely done!

Thank you your appreciation is appreciated 😎

[@josephlai9759]

Nice clear explanation. Thank you. I just want to add an interesting situation with sailboat that I have learned. If you are making way with sails up but have your engine turned on but idling, the smoke from the exhaust may be interpreted by others as you being a power driven vessel. Fine and good if no incident arises, but problematic if there is one. You may have difficulty proving you are actually sailing, not power driven. So it is a grey area but in some close quarter sailing, example in tight channels, turning on the engine and idling on standby is actually a good thing. Interesting to think about.

[@CoastalSafety]

Good point. Engine running, in neutral = not being propelled by machinery. However, any confusion by the giveway vessel and the Standon vessel is covered by rule 2 - ordinary practise of seaman is not to have a collision Thank you for this feedback. It's a great starting point to discuss the rules in greater detail and the application of common sense 👏

[@kevino3190]

You know Rule 25 helps address your situation.... If your 12+ meters long it "shall" Unfortunately not a rule talked about much.

[@vaibhavsingh4487]

Welcome - if you find these videos useful - please share with your friends :-) What other videos would you like to see?

[@lesterwroblewski9863]

This should be required for all boat owners.

[@CoastalSafety]

Yes of course. So many boaters are "oblivious" to their obligations and legal responsibilities.

in a crossing situaion. how do you know which vessel is the stand on vessell

[@CoastalSafety]

In a crossing situation ... simple method is ...if you observe the other vessel's red sidelight you are the give way vessel and the other is therefore the strand on vessel. If however, you observe the other vessel's green sidelight, you are the stand on vessel and should maintain your course and speed ( if it is safe to do so) The stand on vessel, should keep assessing the situation to confirm that the actions of the giveway vessel is adequate to avoid a close quarter situation.

[@miecgilbertobrino8750]

How about by overtaking portside what action to be take?

[@CoastalSafety]

Signal and make your intentions clear. Ensure that you have ample sea room for maneuverability to avoid embarrassing situations.

[@macbouncer8525]

Interesting... If a fishing vessel is not "fishing" does it then become a PDV? in the same way a sailing vessel does if not under sail?

[@CoastalSafety]

Good point. Within the rules the term used is "vessel engaged in fishing" . so yes, when not actually "engaged in fishing" it reverts to its natural type, which could be "power driven vessel", "sailing vessel" or even a "rowing vessel"

[@macbouncer8525]

@@CoastalSafety Hadn't considered the thought of sailing / rowing fishing vessel but of course that would apply too. I assume the designator of "I'm actively engaged in fishing" would be some of lights / markers? very informative, thank you for the content,

[@CoastalSafety]

This video explains more about fishing vessels :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5y9gH9soayCiJo

[@DM-pe2iy]

Can you explain sailboat vs. a fishing vessel engaged in fishing? So many sailboats think the have the right of way no matter what. "Our New Reels Catch Fish So Purchase Some" the best way to remember vessel priority.

[@CoastalSafety]

Some sailors are taught "power gives way to sail" as a basic rule. Unfortunately, they miss the context of the other rules such as rule 9 and rule 10 due example.

[@DM-pe2iy]

@@CoastalSafety exactly, I think every yacht club teaches their kids sailboats have right of way no matter what.

[@CoastalSafety]

They teach this saying "power gives way to sail" not even considering rule 13 .... and others ..blessed are the innocent

[@naufalbatis7241]

Please give Indonesian subtitle it will make more easier to understand, thanks

[@lahirulahirupop2470]

Stuthi mage machan :-)

[@igesbpro]

What if it's not 2 vessels encountering?, but let's say one vessel encounteribg numerous (like 4 vessels) at the same time?

[@CoastalSafety]

Each vessel applies the respective rules. The end result .... its like they are all going counter clockwise .... around a big virtual roundabout in the sea

[@igesbpro]

@@CoastalSafety But what if the vessels are going fast?

[@CoastalSafety]

Rule 6 All vessels shall proceed at a safe speed so that they can take proper and effective action to avoid a collision

[@CoastalSafety]

An exact "safe speed is not specified numerically. A safe speed is considered to be a speed which is less than the maximum at which the operator can take proper and effective action to avoid collision and stop within a distance appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions. So, you could say, by doing your continuous assessment of the prevailing situation and conditions where you cannot stop your vessel within a distance that is considered to be safe for any for any navigation hazards - including other vessels- that are ahead of you, then you should consider to slow down so that you can operate at a speed where you can stop within a distance appropriate to the navigational hazards. You can consider a high speed ferry, operating at 40 knots, with a fully trained bridge team, using high speed radar, two lookouts with decent binoculars, thermal imaging cameras, and quick maneuvering ability, this could be considered a safe speed. Whereas, a small speed boat, with limited visual 'distance to the horizon' and bouncing up and down waves, with a single person onboard, maybe that would not be considered to be a safe speed at the same 40 knots.

[@igesbpro]

@@CoastalSafety Thank you so much. I needed to know that

[@iarwainthabombadil7724]

NUC is either a massive threshold for words or proof that Captains are a different breed altogether. Still I'd be interested to know the divorce rate...

[@CoastalSafety]

By following the rules .. they tend to have a happy and fulfilling future :-)

[@lesnorris]

I couldnt watch this due to the hand writing ,I couldnt concentrate, very annoying

[@CoastalSafety]

So sorry that you were annoyed by the handwriting. Many people have commented that they like it and that they find it easy to follow, whilst it reinforces the audio and animation messages. We have other videos without the handwriting, hopefully they will assist you and provide a useful learning experience for you 😊

[@lesnorris]

Ok many people like it you say, but if you actually did a survey you would find the constant hand shaking is distracting. I made this comment so you could hopefully be aware of this for future videos, thanks for responding.

[@CoastalSafety]

Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to respond.
