SUMMARY OF PASS LESSON

Our 2 passes learning session we learned a lot about the COLREG (Convention on the
International Regulations for preventing Collision at sea) Rules 1-19.

 Rule 1 Application
 Rule 2 Responsibility
 Rule 3 General Definition
 Rule 4 Application
 Rule 5 Look up
 Rule 6 Safe Speed
 Rule 7 Risk of Collision
 Rule 8 Actions to avoid Collision
 Rule 9 Narrow Channels
 Rule 10 Traffic Separation Schemes
 Rule 11 Application
 Rule 12 Sailing Vessels
 Rule 13 Overtaking
 Rule 14 Head on Situation
 Rule 15 Crossing Situation
 Rule 16 Action by Give way Vessel
 Rule 17 Action by Stand on Vessel
 Rule 18 Responsibilities Between Vessels
 Rule 19 Conduct of Vessels in Restricted Visibility

In addition, every vessel must move at a safe pace that is adjusted to the current conditions and the
limited vision, according to Rule 19. If a vessel detects another vessel using radar, it should assess the
likelihood of a collision and, if necessary, take evasive action.

There’s more that we tackle the other is all about the difference in time in different country and the
technical Provision about the COLREG that include 41 rules divided into six sections.

Part A - General;
Part B - Steering and Sailing

Part C - Lights and Shapes

Part D - Sound and Light signals

Part E - Exemptions

Part F - Verification of compliance with the provisions of the Convention.

About the time frame every country, A time zone is a location where the same time is observed.
Adjacent time zones are typically, but not necessarily, one hour apart. An offset from Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC) can be used to indicate the time in any of the world's time zones. The majority of
time zones throughout the world accept daylight saving time.

There’s more about the Computation of traveling time through country to other country using vessel
ships in Certain Speed.

The number of knots passed multiplied by the distance between the knots and divided by 30 seconds
told them that 1 knot is equal to 1.852 kilometers per hour or 1 knot is equal to 1 nautical mile per hour.

This is how ‘knots’ originated and became a metric system to measure ships speed.

1 knot = 1.852 km/hr. or 1 nautical mile = 1.852 km
