Study Notes

Sound Signaling Devices

  • Vessels under 12 meters - Whistle, bell
  • Vessels 12 meters or more - Whistle, bell, and a "shape suitable for day signaling" (often a flag)

Whistle Signals

  • One short blast - "I am altering my course to starboard"
  • Two short blasts - "I am altering my course to port"
  • Three short blasts - "My engines are going astern"

Rule 32 Terms

  • "Sound signals" - Any audible signal used to communicate between ships, including whistles, bells, gongs, and fog horns.
  • "Short blast" - A signal of approximately one second duration.
  • "Prolonged blast" - A signal of approximately four to six seconds duration.

Sound Signal Equipment

  • Whistle - Used to communicate between vessels and in restricted visibility conditions
  • Bell - Used in restricted visibility conditions
  • "Shape suitable for day signaling" - A flag or other device used for communication during the day

Vessels and Sound Signal Equipment

  • Vessels under 12 meters - Must have a whistle and a bell
  • Vessels 12 meters or more - Must have a whistle, a bell, and a shape suitable for day signaling

Sound Signal Explanations

  • Short blasts - Used to indicate a change in course
  • Prolonged blasts - Used for various purposes, such as warning of danger or indicating a vessel's location

Situations and Sound Signals

  • Making way - Two short blasts
  • Not under command - Three short blasts
  • Underway and engaged in fishing - Five short blasts
  • Vessel constrained by her draught - One prolonged blast followed by two short blasts

Restricted Visibility Situations and Sound Signals

  • vessel proceeding at low speed - "slow .. " followed by a prolonged blast
  • vessel stopped and making way - "stopped .. " followed by prolonged blast
  • vessel making way and unable to observe direction - "not observing .. " followed by prolonged blast
  • vessel not under command - "not under command .. " followed by prolonged blast
  • vessel constrained by her draught - "constrained by her draught .. " followed by prolonged blast
  • vessel aground - "aground .. " followed by prolonged blast

Vessel Length and Sound Signal Intervals

  • Vessels under 12 meters - One short blast for each second
  • Vessels 12 meters or more - Two short blasts for each second

Vessel Sound Signal Obligations

  • Vessels making way - Must sound their whistles
  • Vessels not under command - Must sound their whistles
  • Vessels constrained by their draught - Must sound their whistles

Sound Signal Vessels

  • Vessels under 12 meters - Use a whistle and bell
  • Vessels 12 meters or more - Use a whistle, bell, and shape suitable for day signaling

Situations and Sound Signal Requirements

  • Vessels approaching each other head-on - Both vessels should sound short blasts to signal their intent to pass port-to-port
  • Vessels overtaking another vessel - The overtaking vessel should sound short blasts to indicate their intent to pass
  • Vessels changing course - Should sound short blasts to indicate their intended new course

Vessel Sound Signal Exemptions

  • Vessels at anchor - Not required to sound whistles unless there's a danger of collision
  • Vessels fishing - May use "fishing gear in use" signals instead of general whistle signals

Vessel Type and Sound Signal in Restricted Visibility

  • Vessels underway - "slow" or "stopped" followed by a prolonged blast
  • Vessels not under command - "not under command" followed by prolonged blast
  • Vessels constrained by draught - "constrained by her draught" followed by prolonged blast
  • Vessels aground - "aground" followed by prolonged blast
