OPERATION

Navigational Rules

Rule 2

Rule 2 is “The General Prudential Rule” of the

International Rule. This rule states that all operators have

the responsibility of taking action to avoid a collision.

All vessels involved in a potential collision become

give-way vessels.

Encountering Vessels

There are three main situations in which you may

encounter other vessels:

S Overtaking (passing)

S Meeting (approaching another vessel head-on)

S Crossing (traveling across another vessel’s path)

Meeting Vessels

When meeting another power vessel head-on and a

collision appears likely, neither vessel has the

right-of-way. Both vessels are obligated to alter course

to avoid an accident. Keep the other vessel to your port

(left) side and take evasive action to the starboard

(right) side (1). This rule does not apply if you’ll be

clear of the other vessel by maintaining your course

and speed (2).
