🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 14 – Head-on Situation: When two power-driven vessels are meeting on reciprocal or nearly reciprocal courses. • How a tug with a barge alongside is treated under the Rules (still a power-driven vessel, but with towing considerations). • The usual side on which power-driven vessels should pass in a head-on meeting situation under the Rules.

💭 Think About

• Based on the illustration, are the two vessels on reciprocal or nearly reciprocal courses, and does this create a head-on situation under Rule 14? • In a standard head-on situation between two power-driven vessels, what is each vessel expected to do with her heading to avoid collision? • How would your choice affect the side (port or starboard) on which the vessels ultimately pass each other?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm whether this is a head-on encounter (both vessels seeing each other ahead or nearly ahead). • Decide which side (port or starboard) is the proper side to pass on in a head-on situation between two power-driven vessels. • Check that your chosen maneuver is early and substantial and does not create a risk of close-quarters with your own barge alongside.
