FOREWORD

by Captain R B Middleton FNI President The Nautical Institute.

The confidential marine accident reports which we publish each month in our journal SEAWAYS

have indicated that mariners are frequently confronted with hazardous situations relating to the

COLREGS.

To investigate the problems The Nautical Institute initiated in 2002 an international survey

amongst seagoing _{officers to enquire if they thought there was a problem, what the causes}

could be and to suggest solutions.

The results were alarming with nearly 50olo of the respondents stating that in their view the

problems were caused by ignorance and wilful disregard of the rules.

However respondents also drew attention to other factors like distractions due to GMDSS false

alarms, VHF chafter, VTS reporting, and paperwork.

When it came to solutions respondents highlighted both the need to improve the education and

training of watchkeeping officers and better supervision by senior officers on board.

Undoubtedly we all have to work to improve standards of bridge watchkeeping and this thoughtful guide produced by the North of England P&l Club is an excellenr place to start.

Oflicers can work through a page at a time discussing the elements with colleagues and relating

the contents to the full form of the rules.

For experienced officers there is an opportunity to work through the text r, " ,"fru.h". "nd to

use the booklet as a training aid when coaching junior officers and cadets on watch.

It is our duty as nautical professionals to ensure that we are responsible at all times for the safe

navigation of our ships and this booklet provides a valuable text to re-establish good practice.

CONVENTION

ON THE INTERNATIONAL

REGUIATIONS

FOR

PREVENTING

COLLTSTONS

AT SEA, t972 (COLREGS)

This guide is based on the COLREGS poster series produced by the North of England P&l

Association's Risk Management Department between 2001 and 2004.

The aim of these posters is not to provide an all encompassing guide to the Rules but to dispel

some frequent misunderstandings and misinterpretations of the most widely used Rules and

to provide a graphic illustration of the correct steps to decipher and to apply the Regulations.

While it is vital to know the contents of the Regulations, simply being able to recite them

verbatim is no substitute for knowing how to apply them. A coherent full working knowledge

of the text and its application is

vital-The UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch has stressed the importance of Rule 2 and their

concern that this vital Rule is so often overlooked.

Rule 2 - Responsibiliry

(o) Nothing in these Rules sho/l exonerdte ony vessel, _{or the owner, moster or crew thereof, from the}

consequences of ony neglect to comply with these Ru/es or of neglect of ony precoution which

moy be required by the ordinory proctice of seoman, or by the speciol circumstonces of the case.

(b) ln construing ond complying with these Rules due regord sholl be had to oll dongers of novigation

ond collision ond to ony special circumstances, including the limitations ofthe vessels involved,

which moy moke o deporture from these Ru/es necessory to ovoid immediate donger.

This fundamental feature of the COLREGS highlights the fact that you, the manners, are

responsible for your own actions and you have to comply with the Rules while ensuring that

you take all precautions of the ordinary practice of seafarers - there is no substitute for the

application of common sense on the seas.

During the Nautical Institute's "lmproving the application of the COLREGS" survey, it was

noted by the late Captain FranEois Baillod FNl, that reported incidents related to "uncertainty",

"violations" _and "disregard _{for the COLREGS". While many cited} "ignorance", "poor _knowledge

of the COLREGS", or "lack of training" as reasons for the poor and ineffective application of

the Regulations.

The Collision Regulations were devised to make the navigation of ships safer - however we

must remember they are also the law and all should observe them. There can be no excuses

-ignorance is no defence and if you disobey these laws there will be consequences. This guide is

intended to provide a reminder of the Rules and the processes that should be applied in making

them work.

Huch of the guidance text has been provided by Captain Roger Syms who has enthusiastically embraced the idea of providing an easy to use guide to the COLREGS in conjunction with the

original Nonh of England poster series. This project has also been able to make use of the

experiences expressed through the Nautical Institute's survey into the COLREGS.

The North of England also acknowledges with thanks, the contribution and suggestions of

"Look out" means pay attention to evefihing! - Not lust looking ahead out of the window

but all round the vessel, using all your senses and all appropriate equipment available to you.

KEEP

AN EYE

AND EAR

ON EVERYTHING

THAT GIVES

YOU

INFORMATION

INCLUDING:

o Radar/ARPA - Be aware of the effects of clutter, of small targets and the range of the set.

r Radio transmissions - Keep an ear on what is going on in the vessel's viciniry.

o Sound Signals - Can you hear any sound signals near-by? Be aware of the effect of

keeping a closed wheelhouse, and of distracting noises in a closed space.

o Course and Position Navigation Aids - lf you have to alter course make sure there is

safe water available.

o Depth indicator - frequently and systematically monitor the depth of water beneath

the vessel.

. Be aware - WS and AIS are there to help you.

BEWARE

OF DISTRACTIONS!

o Alarms - Do not allow alarms, such as false GMDSS transmissions, to distract you from

keeping a proper look-out.

o Lights - Do not allow lights on your vessel to impair your vision

o Communications - VHF transmissions and mobile phones are not your first priority.

Do not allow them to distract you.

Rule 5 applies at all times - there must always be someone looking-out. lf weather or conditions cause concern then more lookouts may be needed and should be called without hesitation.

Every vesel shall at all times proceed at a sale speed s ihd she d hke prcper ad eff€ctire &tion io avoid @llision and be iopped within a distece appropriate to the pBailing circumsnces and conditions.

Rule 6 allows you to make your own judgement as to the most appropriate sPeed at any time

for your vessel, taking into account the prevailing circumstances and conditions.

CAN YOU REACT

EFFECTIVELY

Without exception the safest speed is a reduced speed, because:

. lt allows you to stop or turn effectively

r lt gives you more time to think and to act in a developing situation '

The time to react and respond effectively is all important - vessels moving too

quickly can often fatally impair their own watchkeeper's risk assessment processes.

r lf collision does occur the resulting damage is likely to be a lot less

Remember the radar or ARPA is not infallible, lt may miss some targets altogether or it may show very large targets as weak echoes.

Navigational aids such as GPS can be equally susPect - don't rely on one instrument for

information, double check it against others.

Constantly monitor your speed - The situation at sea is constantly changing and what can be

deemed a safe speed in one situation can change with circumstances, sometimes suddenly!

l.laintaining high speeds for commercial considerations should not be tolerated

Listen as well as look! - fu with keeping a look out, you must use all the information and

equipment available to you to determine risk of collision.

Use the compass to check the bearings of approaching vessels - compare it with the radar bearing.

lf you have operational radar you must use it.

Are you using true or relative vectors? lf you have an Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA) you should use the RELATIVE VECTORS for determining risk of collision and TRUE VECTORS to ascertain the other vessel's actual movement.

You must be aware of the limitations and use of the ARPA and interpret information displayed

correctly.

tf you are not litted with an ARPA you must run a RADAR PLOT.

ls tfte targ€t passing ahead or astern? Or is it going to collide? - Remember the primary information you need to answer these questions is relative information.

Eton't trust ARPA to give you an accurate Closest Point of Approach (CPA). - Where

possible take at least half a mile off each indication to be safe. (lf it shows a CPA of half a mile

assume it is collision).

Don't rely on change of bearing as an indicator of clearance. - As a target approaches

it's change of bearing should speed up significantly. lf the change in bearing does not accelerate,

treat it as a danger.

Don't rrelax your vigilance - Keep monitoring the situation until the target is passed and well clear.

Remember a positive alteration made very early on is better than a large panic

alteration at the last minute! - the closer you are to the other vessel the more you will

have to do to avoid collision.

Don't iudge a "positive" and "ample" action just by the amount of alteration - confirm

it by the change in CPA. Keep checking the situation until the risk of collision is past and clear.

Make your actions obvious to other vessels - Small alterations of course are dangerous;

they don't usually solve the problem and don't give the other vessel a clear indication of what

you are doing.

Use the engines - lf your ability to alter is constrained then SLOW DOWN or STOP

The other rressel may also be obliged to take action. Always bear in mind what that action may oe.

N O T I M P E D I N G ?

r lf the Rules require you "not to impede", it means you must make a very early alteration

to make sure risk of collision does not develop.

o lf you are the "not to be impeded" vessel be prepared for the other vessel not to take

the correct action. lf a collision is imminent you have to act however constrained you are!

Think about what you are doing - Actions taken to avoid collision should follow the

observance of good seamanship - this is where we have to apply professional and sound Practical

judgement!

Use the Trial Manoeuyre setting on your ARPA, if available.

There is no right of way - Just because you are navigating within a Traffic Separation Scheme (l-SS) does not give you right of way over other vessels.

The other COLREGS continue to apply within a TSS.

Remain within the lanes - but if your alteration for a crossing vessel is likely to take you

outside the scheme this does not exempt you from following the Rules. lf you are not happy

about it SLOW DOWN or STOP

BE WARY!

Actions of vessels navigating in the vicinity of a TSS can be UNPREDICIABLE.

Look out for crossing vessels on the edge of the scheme. They may alter to cross at right

angles or they may alter parallel to the scheme to find a less crowded place to cross.

Look out for High Speed Craft (HSC) - HSC tend to present collision risks wide on the

beam. HSC do often alter course early, however you cannot assume they will always do so.

Don't forget! lf you are not sure you are an overtaking Yessel, you must assume that you are and keep clear.

Don't pass close - overtaking invariably takes time, so make sure you have a safe distance

between you and the other vessel. (Where possible this should be ot least greater thon your hord-over turning circle.)

Beware of interaction! - if you are forced by traffic to pass closer be very careful that interaction does not occur.

- _{Avoid crossing ahead - lfyou are not on parallel courses and passing clear, cross astern}

rather than ahead.

Does the ship being overtaken know you are there? Always assume they do not! ,

Remain vigilant - Remember, you remain an overtaking vessel until you are finally passed ind clear.

"Nearfy recipr.ocal" does not mean exactly right ahead. lf a vessel is ahead and coming the other way on an opposite course and roughly within half a point (6 or 7 degrees) of either side of the bow, Rule l4 applies.

IF YOU ARE STILL NOT SURE ASSUME A HEAD-ON STTUATION ANYWAY AND ACT ACCORDINGLY!

UNDERSTAND

RULE

8

o Rule 8(a) says, "any action to avoid collision shall be taken in accordance with the Rules

of this Part ..." ("this Part" being the Steering ond Soiling Rules)

. _{lt means that if you have a vessel fine to starboard, even at some distance away, altering}

to port to increase the clearance may be construed as not being in accordance with the

COLREGS. You should always go to starboard as directed by the Rule.

Alter arty! - Do not wait for the other vessel to act, the closer you get before taking action

the greater the steps you subsequently have to take to avoid collision.

When two power-driven

vessels

are crossing

so as to involve

risk ofcollision,

the vesselwhich

has

the other on her own starboard

side shall

keep out ofthe way and shall,

ifthe circumstances

of

the case

admit, avoid crosslng

ofthe othervessel.

Give way early - lf you are the give-way vessel, take early action so the other vessel knows your intentions.

Avoid crossing ahead - Go to starboard, astern of the vessel if at all possible.

Be considerate - lf the other vessel is hampered in any way, action must be taken even earlier

to reassure the other vessel.

Be positive! - lf in doubt over crossing or being overtaken, assume you are crossing and

keep clear.

Use your engines - Remember that you should always have the option of using your engines as well as your helm.

DO NOT HESITATE! - Alter early and adequately enough to show the other vessel clearly what you are doing.

Confirm your alteration - make sure that your action has had the desired effect by checking

the increase in the CPA on the radar.

o Following Rule l6 makes life easier for all vessels.

Rule 19 is a different set of rules that only apply when "vessels are not in sight of one another".

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A STAND-ON VESSEL IN RESTRICTED VISIBILITY. Every vessel must act!

Avoid altering to port (lg(dXD) - An alteration of course to port (should be avoided) for a vessel forward of the beam, except for a vessel you are overtaking.

Avoid altering towards ( I g(dxii)) - lf a target presents a collision or close quarters risk abeam or abaft the beam you must act but avoid altering towards it.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN you cannot alter towards ANY vessel that may be abeam or abaft the beam. Rule lg(dxiD only applies if there is a collision or close quarters risk.

Use your engines - Again always remember that you should have the option of using your

engines as well as your helm.

Proceed at a safe speed - have your engines available for immediate manoeuvring.

lf you don't have radar, for whatever reason, )rou must proceed with extreme caution. Listen for sound signals and respond accordingly.

The COLREGS

are not just advice
