So seemingly you are inferring that no one but you has a grasp on the intent of the COLREGS??? Crap.... I thought it was to keep boats from hitting each other. Are you implying that everyone but commercial large vessel traffic should be subject to the strictest definitions of the rules? | I find most of these threads a valuable tool for defining intent and | giving perspective from different operators and vessel types. Well you know my views.... large commercial vessels should be strictly regulated, the regulations should be enforced with an iron fist. You whine about smaller vessels not adhering to the rules while dumping bilge water and oil as well as being the biggest contributor of garbage dumped at sea.... not to mention the sorry record for container loss. Unmanned bridges, unseaworthy vessels and poorly trained foreign crews are the least of the problems caused by the current status of the shipping industry at sea. How dare you even begin to preach rules and comprehension when your industry so consistently fails to abide by rules you claim to have a better understanding of!! | However, after a point............ Yeah... after a point it becomes clear that you fail to comprehend the basics. It's NOT Your Ocean! You only use it just like we do. You don't have more of a right nor less of a responsibility. I would say that on a whole the smaller vessels have a better comprehension of their responsibilities and a better track record of adherence to the regulations imposed!......
