It is the responsibility of BOTH vessels to keep a lookout
by eyes and ears at all times. If in doubt blow the danger/
doubt signal to get their attention or contact them on the VHF
and request they get their heads out of their asses. Big ships
are notorious for the helmspeople sleeping on the job or with
with their faces stuck into girlie magazines.

for restricted visibility apply and BOTH vessels must navigate with
extreme caution until they are clear of each other.

How does the vessel that can see the other know that the other can see it?
