What is the verbiage of the shall, may, shall, -shall use all means available o determine if risk of collision
rule? exists, shall if the circumstances of the case admit, be large
enough to be readily apparent to another vessel observing
visually or by radar; a succession of small alterations of course
and/or speed should be avoided.
- alteration of course alone may be the most effective action to
avoid a close-quarters situation provided that it is made in good
time, is substantial and does not result in another close
quarters situation.
- Action taken to avoid collision with another vessel SHALL be
such as to result in passing at a safe distance. The
effectiveness of the action shall be carefully checked until the
other vessel is finally past and clear. (e) If necessary to avoid
collision or allow more time to assess the situation, a vessel
SHALL slacken her speed or take all way off by stopping or
reversing her means of propulsion.
