BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND When in sight of another vessel and there is sufficient sea room, any action taken to avoid collision must __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 8 – Action to Avoid Collision in the Navigation Rules • Meaning of close-quarters situation and why it is dangerous • Requirements for collision-avoidance maneuvers when vessels are in sight of one another

💭 Think About

• Think about what the Rules say is the main objective of any avoiding action when there is plenty of room to maneuver. What are we trying to definitely prevent? • Consider whether the Rules require a speed change every time, or just say it may be used as part of avoiding action. • Ask yourself if sound signals are always required whenever you change course or speed to avoid collision, or only in certain circumstances.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 8 whether it uses words like "shall" or "should" about avoiding another close-quarters situation. • Check if the Rule says that a speed change is always required, or if course alone can sometimes be enough. • Check whether sound signals are a requirement for every collision-avoidance maneuver, or only under specific conditions such as in narrow channels or restricted visibility.
