Purpose of COLREGs:
• The International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at
Sea (COLREGs) are rules to promote safe navigation and
prevent collisions between vessels at sea. They establish
guidelines on how vessels should interact and communicate,
particularly in situations where there is a risk of collision.
2. Vessels Covered by COLREGs:
• COLREGs apply to all vessels on the high seas and in all
navigable waters connected to the high seas. This includes
power-driven vessels, sailing vessels, vessels engaged in
fishing, and vessels under tow.
3. Significance of Rule 5 (Look-out):
• Rule 5 requires that every vessel maintain a proper look-out
by sight and hearing, as well as by all available means, such
as radar, to assess the risk of collision and avoid accidents.
4. Action for Power-driven Vessels Meeting Head-On:
• When two power-driven vessels are meeting head-on, each
should alter its course to starboard (right) so that they pass
port-to-port (left side to left side).
5. Action for a Power-driven Vessel Overtaking Another:
• A power-driven vessel overtaking another must keep out of
the way of the vessel being overtaken, regardless of the
direction it is coming from.
6. Lights Required for a Power-driven Vessel Underway at Night:
• A power-driven vessel underway at night must display a
green light on the starboard (right) side, a red light on the
port (left) side, and a white masthead light (or two if the
vessel is longer than 50 meters) along with a stern light.
7. Rule 12 (Sailing Vessels):
• Rule 12 covers the conduct of sailing vessels in relation to
each other. When two sailing vessels are approaching each
other with a risk of collision, certain rules determine which
vessel should give way, typically based on the wind direction.
8. Sound Signal in Restricted Visibility:
• In restricted visibility, a power-driven vessel making way
(underway and moving) should sound one prolonged blast at
intervals of not more than two minutes.
9. Purpose of Rule 19 (Conduct of Vessels in Restricted
Visibility):
• Rule 19 outlines the conduct of vessels navigating in or near
restricted visibility, ensuring that vessels take precautions,
reduce speed, and avoid close-quarter situations with other
vessels detected by radar or sound.
10. Give-way Vessel in a Crossing Situation:
• In a crossing situation, the vessel that has the other vessel
on its starboard (right) side is the give-way vessel. It must
take early and substantial action to avoid crossing ahead of
the stand-on vessel.
