Shouldn't "meeting" vessels try to pass port to port? Have I misunderstood something? Regards Donal -- |

Shouldn't "meeting" vessels try to pass port to port? Have I misunderstood something? Yes, you have. Rule 14 (head-on situation) applies only if there is a risk of collision. And Rule 9 (narrow channels) says you should stay to the right side of a channel. But if two vessels in open water are on courses that have them passing comfortably starboard to starboard, there is no reason for then to alter course to force it to be a port to port passing. In fact, it could be rather dangerous. Since no course alteration is needed, no signal is required. The US Inland rules are worded quite differently on this point. Instead of implying "I am altering course ..." they mean "I intend to leave you on my port (or starboard) side." Under the international rule no reply is needed, but it is required under the inland rules |
