Study Notes
Vessels Restricted in Ability to Maneuver
- A vessel transferring provisions while underway restricts its navigational ability to change course.
- A vessel in a towing operation that restricts the navigational ability of the mark vessel and her tow to change their course.
- A vessel whose anchor is fouled.
- A vessel engaged in dredging.
- A vessel engaged in launching or recovering a mine-clearing aircraft.
Vessels Not Under Command
- A vessel transferring provisions while underway.
- A vessel in a towing operation that restricts the navigational ability of the mark vessel and her tow to change their course.
- A vessel whose anchor is fouled.
- A vessel engaged in dredging.
- A vessel engaged in launching or recovering a mine-clearing aircraft.
Vessel Constrained by Draft
- A power-driven vessel severely restricted in its ability to deviate from its course due to its draft in relation to the available navigable water.
COLREGS Lights
- Authorized light used to assist in the identification of submarines operating on the surface is an intermittent flashing blue light.
Good Seamanship
- Practicing good seamanship involves using radar and fog signals, and proceeding at a speed that allows for taking advantage of a favorable current in a fog.
COLREGS Overtaking
- When a power-driven vessel is overtaking another vessel, it should sound one short blast and alter course to starboard.
COLREGS Sailing Vessels
- A sailing vessel becalmed or with restricted maneuverability is not "not under command".
- A vessel engaged in underwater operations or a difficult towing operation is considered "not under command".
Inshore Traffic Zones
- Inshore traffic zones shall not be used by vessels that cannot safely use the lane within the zone.
Anchoring in a Narrow Channel
- Anchoring is not permitted in a narrow channel.
COLREGS Fog Signals
- A vessel hearing a fog signal forward of the beam should take action to prevent a collision.
COLREGS Collision
- After a collision, the master should not always attempt to make a substantial course alteration.
COLREGS Traffic Separation Schemes
- A vessel engaged in fishing should not impede the passage of a vessel following a traffic lane.
- A vessel of less than 20 meters in length or a sailing vessel should not impede the safe passage of a vessel following a traffic lane.
COLREGS Whistle Signals
- The Government of any State can make provision for special rules allowing the use of additional whistle signals between vessels.
COLREGS Lights and Signals
- The sidelights of a power-driven vessel should be placed at a height above the hull of not less than 1.5 meters or not greater than 4.5 meters.
- Additional signals for fishing vessels should be visible all around the horizon at a distance of at least 1.0 nm.
- If two masthead lights are carried for a power-driven vessel, the after one should be vertically higher than the forward one by at least 0.5 meters.
