A) POSSIBLE OPTIONS- Alter ation of course to starboard or reduce

speed under Rule No:19,Restricted Visibility.
B) BEST ACTION: Alteration of course to starboard for target A
under rule no. 19 as cannot alter course to Port for a vessel
forward of beam,if a risk of collision exists.This action is more
effective rather than reducing the speed, because the situation will
clear more fast by this action & also if the speed is reduced, the CPA
with target B will not increase,it will remain almost same.

Alteration of course to

New CPA-1.0
New TCPA-28m,1546 hrs

A) POSSIBLE OPTIONS- Alteration of course to starboard or reduce

speed under Rule No:19,Restricted Visibility.
B) BEST ACTION: Alteration of course to starboard for target A
under rule no. 19 as cannot alter course to Port for a vessel
forward of beam,when a risk of collision exists.No Action required for
Target B,because target B is passing clear astern of own vessel with
a CPA of 1.0 NM(as per Masters Orders) & there is no Risk of
collision with Target B.

EXPLANATION

: As per Rule no 19 :- If risk of collision

exist ; vessel should avoid

a)Alteration of course to port for a vessel forward of the beam,
other than for a vessel being overtaken.
b)An alteration of course towards a vessel abeam or abaft the
beam.

This action is more effective rather than reducing the speed,

because the situation will clear more fast by this action .If we reduce the
speed ,then the speed has to be reduced upto a very large extent, which
may not be so easy practically & also by reducing speed we have to
reduce so much that the target B shall pass atleast with a CPA of 1.0 NM
ahead of us,which will make the situation worse.

ACTION : For Target A

Alteration of port shall be avoided Rule

does not allow Possible reduced Speed but target will cross the bow with
CpA 1 nm. ( Avoided)
Alteration of course to stbd will allow target A to pass PORT of own
vessel. (Best)

For Target B both the action is suitable (risk of collision does not
exist).
Action taken alter to stbd will increase the CPA of Target
B.

FINAL ACTION:

Alter Course To STBD atleast 17 degrees

C) TARGET A: NEW CPA-1.0, NEW TCPA: 28 min,1546 hrs

TARGET B : NEW CPA-1.35 , NEW TCPA: 18 min,1536 hrs
