Rule 8 - Action to avoid collisiona) Any action to avoid collision shall be taken in accordance with the
Rules of this Part and shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, bepositive, made in ample time and with due regard to the observance ofgood seamanship.
b) Any alteration of course and/or speed to avoid collision shall, if the
circumstances of the case admit, be large enough to be readily
apparent to another vessel observing visually or by radar; asuccession of small alterations of course and/or speed should be
avoided.
c) If there is sufficient sea-room, alteration of course alone may be the
most effective action to avoid a close-quarters situation provided that
it is made in good time, is substantial and does not result in anotherclose-quarters situation.
d) Action taken to avoid collision with another vessel shall be such as to
result in passing at a safe distance. The effectiveness of the action
shall be carefully checked until the other vessel is finally past and
clear. 1

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collisione) If necessary to avoid collision or allow more time to assess the
situation, a vessel shall slacken her speed or take all way off bystopping or reversing her means of propulsion.
f) (i) A vessel which, by any of these Rules, is required not to impede
the passage or safe passage of another vessel shall, when required by
the circumstances of the case, take early action to allow sufficient sea-room for the safe passage of the other vessel.
(ii) A vessel required not to impede the passage or safe passage of
another vessel is not relieved of this obligation if approaching theother vessel so as to involve risk of collision and shall, when taking
action, have full regard to the action which may be required by the
Rules of this part.(iii)A vessel the passage of which is not to be impeded remains fully
obliged to comply with the Rules of this part when the two vessels are
approaching one another so as to involve risk of collision.

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collision
When is an action considered positive (Rule 8, (a))
When the action of the give-way vessel does not createany doubt on the stand-on vessel
When the give-way vessel does not create a conflictingsituation with the stand-on vessel
When the give-way vessel communicates her intentionsclearly and appropriately by means of sound signals and/or
VHF

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collisionIn Ample Time
So that the stand-on vessel should have no
doubt as to the intentions of the give-way
vessel
Small vessels like yachts must not wait until the last minute
to manoeuvre in order to admire the passing ship
Larger ships may not think that they always have the right ofway. Deep draught vessels may, however, make an
exception
(Rule 8, (a))

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collision
General considerations
A difference should be made when vessels are in sight ofone another (Part B, Section II and when vessels are in
restricted visibility (Part B, Section III)
The general principle is : one vessel keeps out of the way(the give-way vessel), the other shall keep her course and
speed( the stand-on vessel) (Rule 17, (a))
There are two exceptions : Head-on situations, when in
sight of one another (Rule 14) and vessels in restricted
visibility (Rule 19)

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collision
According to Rule 16, when vessels are in visual sight of oneanother, the vessel which is directed to keep out of the way of
another vessel shall, so far as possible, take early and
substantial action to keep well clear.
In that case:
! The stand-on vessel is required to keep course and speedand,
! The stand-on vessel will not be justified in taking action
herself in accordance with Rule 17 (a) (ii)

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collision
In ample time
Enough time to assess the situation clearly
Enough time for the OOW not to have to make a decision
hastily
Enough time so that the OOW can gather enoughinformation
Enough time, not to create any confusion or hesitation onthe stand-on vessel
(Rule 8, (a))

11/52
Rule 8 - Action to avoid collisionIn ample time (Rule 8, (a))
Young OOW, with little experience, have a tendency to wait
too long before they engage in an avoiding action. Thiscreates uncertainty on the other vessel and often causes
dreadful decisions on both vessels leading to a collision
Never forget that not only a collision should be avoided but
also the risk of collision 11

12/52
The colregs are not applicable at long range, when thedistance between the two ships is so big that the risk of
collision does not yet exist:
Both vessels are then free to take any action
What is long range ?
This is not quantified in the colregs
It varies for each vessel according to her manoeuvringcharacteristics and dimensions

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collisionGood seamanshipSeamanship is the art of operating a ship or boat. It involves a knowledge of
a variety of topics and development of specialized skills including:
!navigation and international maritime law
!weather, meteorology and forecasting;
!watch standing;
!ship-handling and small boat handling;
!operation of deck equipment, anchors and cables; rope work and line
handling;
!communications;
!sailing;
!engines; execution of evolutions such as towing;
!cargo handling equipment, dangerous cargoes and cargo storage;!dealing with emergencies; survival at sea and search and rescue; fire
fighting.
The degree of knowledge needed within these areas is dependent upon the
nature of the work and the type of vessel employed by a mariner
However, the practice of good seamanship should be the goal of all. wilkipedia 13

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collision
Observance of good seamanship
Every action shall be taken with due regard to the observanceof the rules of good seamanship, and that means:
! The action shall be effective
! Made in ample time
! Made clearly and positively so as to be sufficiently apparent to the other
vessel
! Due regard shall be paid at all times to the existing dangers of navigation
! The prescribed signals shall be given on the whistle (see Rule 34)
! The new course shall be followed without yawning until all risk of collision
is over! In special circumstances, every action shall be taken with due regard to
ones own knowledge and experience
Failing to do so will inevitably result in a disaster

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collision
" In order to assess risk of collision clearly,
the following facts about the stand-on
vessel should be known :# Her course
# Her speed
# Her bearing
# Her distance
# Her CPA
# Her TCPA
# Her bow pass
Most of these elements have been largely discussed in the previous
Rules. They show once more that the use of radar is necessary by day
as well as at night (and in restricted visibility). 15

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collision
Alteration of course and/or speed (Rule 8, (b))
To avoid a collision, the following main actions
may be taken :
!An alteration of course
!An alteration of speed
!An alteration of course and speed
Both must be large enough to be readily apparent

Alteration of course and/or speed (Rule 8, (b))
By day, at night and in restricted visibility:
! Indirectly: by means of radar plotting
!Almost instantaneously: with the ARPA
By day and clear visibility:
! By visual bearings
! By the silhouette of the vessel (not with air cushion vessels)
At night and clear visibility:
! By visual bearings
! By the respective positions of the navigation lights

! Made in ample time! Be substantial
In other words:
! In time to be able to properly assess the situation and to
have sufficient time to think
! Large enough to be readily apparent
Usually, alterations of speed are observed less rapidlythan alterations of course

Advantages
Disadvantages
! Unless drastic, not easily apparent from another vessel (especially
on the radar
! They take more time to materialize even when stopping and
applying reverse propulsion
! In the open sea, the engines are not on stand-by19

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collision
Alteration of course and/or speedRule 8, (b))
!if the circumstances of the case admit,!
In some situations, large alterations of course and/or speedcannot be made due to:
! The lack of sea room
! The presence of hazards to the navigation,
! Work being carried out (dredging, working on a navigation mark,!)
! The condition of the vessel (bad stability, small under water
clearance,!
!Bank suction,
! Etc.
Whenever possible, avoid a succession of small alterations
of course and/or speed 20

Alteration of course alone Rule 8, (c))
This is usually the most effective action to avoid aclose-quarters situation, provided:
! There is sufficient sea-room
! It is made in good time,! It is substantial,
! It does not result in another close-quarters situation.

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collisionAlteration of course alone Rule 8, (c))
Small course alterations are not readily apparent
Give-way vessel alteredcourse 10 to Sb
Privileged vesseldid not alter course
Consecutive alterations of 10 or
less may seem visible on your
vessel (the give-way vessel) but not
on the other vessel (the privileged
vessel)They will also create a doubt on the
privileged vessel whether the give-
way vessel is really taking sufficient
avoiding action
The privileged vessel will also
hesitate whether to apply Rule 17 (a)
(ii) or (b)
The give-way vessel shows very little
visual action to create a clearavoiding action 24

7/24/2019 Rule 08 - Action to Avoid Collision
25/52
Rule 8 - Action to avoid collision
Alteration of course alone Rule 8, (c))
Large course alterations (if possible), are the best
avoiding action
Privileged vesseldid not alter course
Give-way vessel alteredcourse 40 to Sb
Course alterations of 20 or more (if
possible) are clearly visible on both
vessels, by day, at night and on theradar
This is a clear situation and the
privileged vessel now clearly sees
that the give-way vessel has takensufficient avoiding action
It will not have to recourse on Rule
17 (a) (ii) or (b)

At night, the give-way vessel should alter course so that on the privileged vessel,first, both sidelights become visible and finally the red sidelight only

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collision
A classic maneuver is where the give-
way vessel alters course to pass
astern of the privileged vessel
Both vessels will come on opposite
bows.
At night a different sidelight should be
visible
Afterwards, the give-way vessel
gradually turns back until the original
course is resumed

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collision
General considerations Rule 8 (b) & (c)
Small alterations of course and/speed are less visible (especially on the radar)and must be avoided
Small alterations of course and/or speed may even increase the risk of collisionand end in a close-quarters situation
A change of course is usually more effective:
!For a vessel sighted ahead or fine on the bow
! For a vessel approaching on Sb at a reasonable distance
! To avoid an overtaking vessel which fails to keep out of the way! Small alterations of course may be confused with the yawning of the vessel
A change of speed is usually more effective:
!
If it is a radical alteration! For a vessel approaching from abeam or near the beam (thus far from the
bow)
A change of course and speed are usually necessary:
! For vessels close to one another
EVERY SITUATION IS DIFFERENT, SO, STRICT RULES CANNOT BE GIVEN

Passing at a safe distanceRule 8 (d)
The term Safe Distance depends on the circumstancesand conditions such as:
!High seas
! Channels
! Traffic density
! Visibility
! Navigational hazards
! Characteristics and maneuverability of own vessel! The avoiding action one is taking
! Etc.

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collision
Passing at a safe distance Rule 8 (d)
In order to pass astern of a vessel, itis not uncommon to alter course on
the stern of the other vessel. The
course is being kept on her stern,
gradually coming back to the
original course
THIS MANEUVER IS EXTREMELY
DANGEROUS BECAUSE:! Vessels will pass too close to each
other
! Vessels will find themselves in a close-
quarters situation

Slackening of speed Rule 8 (e)
According to Rule 6, every vessel is required to proceed at asafe speed at all times
A reduction of speed may also be required:!
To avoid a collision! To allow more time to asses the situation
If necessary, take all way off:! By stopping or
!Reversing the means of propulsion
According to Rule 19 (b) and (e) a vessel in restricted
visibility shall also proceed at a safe speed or take all herway off

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collision
Slackening of speed Rule 8 (e)
To reduce the speed of a vessel:
!Reduce the number of revolutions of propeller!Stop engines
!Reverse the means of propulsion
Usually, engines are less powerful when running asternthan running ahead
With some engines it may be dangerous to apply a crashstop (from full ahead to full astern)
36

7/24/2019 Rule 08 - Action to Avoid Collision
37/52
Rule 8 - Action to avoid collisionSlackening of speed Rule 8 (e)
When a crash stop has to be applied on a vessel proceeding at full
speed, the engines can become immobilized by reversing too rapidly
It is better to reverse the engines to full astern once the vessels speed
has been reduced
The best procedure to reverse engines (and to avoid acute cavitation is):
1)
To stop the engines
2)
After a few minutes to give slow astern
3)
Then give half astern
4)
Finally give full astern
Seek advise with the Chief Engineer and consult the enginesmanual

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collisionSlackening of speed Rule 8 (e)
Too often officers hesitate or take too long to carry out an engine action
On most vessels moving at full speed ahead, a certain time will elapse
before the engines may be reversed. Vessels with variable pitch propellers
are an exception
On a vessel of abt. 50.000 dwt, and a speed of abt. 15 knots:
! When the engines are stopped, she will still cover abt. 26 miles
! When the engines are reversed she will still cover abt. 10 miles
A tanker of abt. 200.000 dwt at 16 knots may need:
! 20 minutes to halve her speed after stopping the engines
! One hour to stop the vessel with engines stopped
!Abt. 25 minutes to stop the vessel with engines full astern 38

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collision
Slackening of speedRule 8 (e)
DO NOT FORGET:
That the frictional resistance of the hull in the water, is directly
proportional to the square of the speed
This means that the last miles will take much longer than the first miles to
bring the vessel to rest
When carrying out a crash stop
! The rudder looses its effect when the engines are stopped
!Your ship will have swung abt. 90
You can also stop your ship with a Rudder Cycling Stop

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collisionDo not impede the passage
Not to impede the passage means that a vessel shall not hamper, hinderor obstruct the passage of another vessel
Some vessels like vessels proceeding in a narrow channel, sailing vessels,
fishing vessels, deep draught vessels, etc. often cannot maneuver at liberty
or take avoiding action and hence, they should not be impeded in theiractivities or in their conditional status
Not to impede may not be confused with keep out of theway because not to impede is required long before a risk of
collision begins to exist
Not to impede can also be described as stay away, and dont bother the
other vessel. In fact, allow her sufficient sea-room

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collision
Do not impede the passage Rule 8 (f) (ii)
The obligation not to impede the passage or safe passage of another
vessel, remains even if a risk of collision already exists
In other words:
If risk of collision has developed between a not to impede vessel andanother vessel, the not to impede vessel will not automatically become a
stand-on vessel and the other vessel a give-way vessel
The not to impede vessel will not be relieved of her obligation to keep out
of the way. Any stand-on action required by any other Rule will be
overridden
The not to impede vessel will not be relieved of her obligation to
also take the necessary action to allow sufficient room for the
passage or safe passage of the other vessel

Rule 8 - Action to avoid collisionDo not impede the passage Rule 8 (f) (iii)
When a not to impede vessel and a not to be impededvessel, have approached one another so as to involve risk of
collision, the not to be impeded vessel must obey the Rules
of Part B of the Steering and Sailing Rules
Both vessels are now expected to take action and to makean alteration
This was already underlined in the last part of Rule 8 (f) (ii)which clearly states that the not to impede vessel (e.g. a
crossing vessel) shall, when taking action have full regard to
the action which may be required by the Rules of this Part
(of the not to be impeded vessel)
