RULES WHEN ENCOUNTERING
VESSELS
There  are three  main situations  which  you
may  encounter   with  other  vessels   which
could lead to a  collision unless the Steering
Rules are followed:
avoid  an   accident.  You  should   keep  the
other  vessel  on  your port   (left) side.  This
rule  doesnt apply  if  both  of you  will  clear
one  another  if  you   continue  on  your  set
course and speed.
Meeting
(you  are   approaching  another   vessel
head-on)
Crossing
(you are  traveling across the  other ves-

Overtaking
(you  are  passing  or  being  passed  by
another vessel)
Crossing
When two power driven vessels are crossing

way;  you  are  the  Give-Way  vessel.  If  the
other  vessel   is  on   your  port   (left)  side,
remember that  you should  maintain course
and  direction,   provided   the  other   vessel
gives you the right-of-way as it should.

the center.  You should give  the right-of-way
to any vessels shown in white  area (you are
the  Give-Way  vessel).  Any  vessels  in  the
shaded area must yield  to you (they are the
Give-Way vessels). Both  you and the meet-
ing vessel  must alter  course  to avoid  each
other.
Meeting
If  you  are  meeting  another  power   vessel
head on,  and  are close  enough to  run the
risk of collision, neither of  you has the right-
