2 If a ship is in doubt, or a situation as referred to in the first paragraph A and B It must be assumed that this is the case and act accordingly.
1 In this chapter, a small ship shall include a drag or a coupled assembly, consisting only of small vessels.
2 When a sailing rule of this chapter does not apply between a small ship and another ship the small ship is obliged to leave this other ship the space it needs to follow its course and to maneuver; it may not be Do not require this to be reused to him.
1 Vessels may only disregard each other at exchange rates or overrun each other if the sailing water provides sufficient space for simultaneous passage, local conditions and movements of other ships in the course of the ships. taken.
2 In the case of an assembly, the signs may be: Article 6.05 , shown only by the ship, on board of which the skipper of the assembly is located.
3 When Approaching at reverse or by passing, the ship whose heading does not preclude any risk of collision shall neither change its course nor its speed in such a way as to lead to a danger of collision.
4 If a ship is required to deviate from another ship, the latter ship must hold its course and speed. If, by whatever reason, the ship which is obliged to hold its course and speed is so close to the ship which has to depart, that collision course cannot be avoided by an act of that ship alone, it must be take measures that can best contribute to preventing collision.
1 If the rates of two vessels cross each other, so that there is a risk of collision, the ship which has the other side of the flight has to depart from the ship and, if the circumstances permit, avoid passing before the other. This provision shall not apply between a small ship and another vessel.

-a light blue sign, visible from the front and the back, and
-a white clear of shining flicker, until the passing has taken place.
The sailing vessel shall not be able to display these signs after the passing has taken place, unless it is also indicated at the following in sight to indicate that it is leaving the road before the starboard operation.
4 As soon as it is to be feared that the intention of the sailing vessel is not understood by the ship sailing, the ship must be given the following:
-one short punch, if the port of pass is to be made on the port;
-two short bursts, if the steering board must be passed by the starboard.

a. Two long bursts followed by two short bursts, so that he wishes to pass away from the open side of the open;
b. Two long bumps followed by one short punch, so he wants to pass off the starboard of the open.

-one short punch, so he excels at the starboard;
-Two short bursts, so he disels to port.
6 If the passing cannot be passed on to the side desired by the rebutted side, but on the other side, the op-ed shall be given:
a. One short punch, so passing by its frying side, is possible;
b. Two short bursts, so passing by his steering-side edge is possible.
The uprunner who still wants to pass under these circumstances must give:
-two short bursts, in the case of A ;
-one short punch, in the case of B .
The op-ed shall then leave sufficient space on the side at which the passing must be carried out, if necessary, to be moved to the other side.

A pre-flow vessel which is forced to operate in order to enter a port or a side water shall give priority to a ship sailing against power which also wants to enter this port or this parallel waterway.
2 If, by one of the manoeuvres referred to in the first paragraph, another vessel may or may be required to change course or speed, the ship shall announce its manoeuvre in advance by giving:

Obstacles may be:
Hazards or sunken ships, objects to be watered, place of work in or near the sewerage, etc.
Outside the sailing water
Notes:
1. The lights may occur in place of the daytime marks.

2.1 . Lateral Marking
2.2 . Marking on (or near) the obstacle
or, with an obligation to avoid disturbing water movement:
This marking is not intended to be used primarily for navigation purposes, but indicates a specific area or object, which is generally defined in nautical or other publications intended for this purpose.
For example, this reinforcement is applied to mark prohibited areas, dredging, landfill and anchorage areas, for the demarcating of special areas such as fast motor boats, water skiers, sailboards, competitions, etc.
Note
The special reinforcement must be kept on the same side by means of continuous shipping, i.e. ships which do not have a designated area as intended as the 'ordinary' concrete.
The entrances to ports, tributes, covers, etc. may be marked as follows (seen in the end):
If fitted with lamps
If not fitted with lamps
Location of the fairway
