The requirements of this section shall apply to any kind of vision.
A ship must at all times watch and listen as well as by making use of all available means adapted to the prevailing circumstances and conditions, keep a good look so that the conditions and the danger of collision is complete can be assessed.
1 A ship must maintain a safe passage at all times so that it can take appropriate and effective measures to avoid collision and may be stopped within a range of conditions adapted to the prevailing conditions and conditions.
The following factors shall be taken into account in the determination of safe navigation:
a. by all ships:
1 °. vision;
2 °. traffic densities including concentrations of vessels;
3 °. the manoeuvrability of the ship, in particular as regards the distance from which the ship is able to be stopped and its manoeuvrability in relation to the conditions prevailing;
4 °. at night, the presence of background light, such as of headlamps or the radiating of own lamps;
5 °. the state of wind, sea, current and the proximity of hazards to navigation;
6 °. the depth of depth in relation to available water depth;
b. In addition, by ships equipped with a well-operated radar installation:

3 Power-operated ships shall reduce and, if necessary, stop their navigation in good time if they do not present any immediate danger to them whenever they are in close proximity to ships for which the stroke or suction may present a hazard; and who are the Article 31, third paragraph , prescribed lamps or day-marks.
4
a. Where the flow of ships is in a water-flow approach at opposite rates in the case of a length, bend or landing, or where the passage is so close that it is at the same time that it is possible to compromise at the same time, it must be possible to Keep the ship on power until the passage of the power of the fern or bend or the landing position has been passed from the landing position.
b. When in a sailing water on stationary water ships approach each other with opposite rates at a bend whose transit is so closely that it can at the same time be in danger of collision, the ship that is the big turn on its The starboard side has pursued its path and has to wait for the other side until the turn is free.
c. When in a sailing water on quiet water ships approach each other with opposite rates in a length of which the transit is so close that it can simultaneously be a danger to collision, the ship must not be a barrier to it The starboard side has got his way up, and the other one has to wait until the length of the scislet is free.
5 Mechano-operated ships which ensure the propulsion of an assembly shall be suitable for that purpose and shall have sufficient capacity to ensure the proper controllability and manoeuvrability of the whole.
6 It is forbidden to allow a ship to drive transverse strooms. This prohibition shall not apply to short-distance movements.
7 It is prohibited to release any gear from the ground within the distance of 200 metres above 200 metres below the place where a cable or pipe is situated.
1 A ship shall use all available means, appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions, to determine if danger of collision exists. In case of doubt, such danger shall be deemed to exist.
2 Where a properly functioning marine equipment and radar equipment are fitted to a ship, such use shall be made in such a way as to obtain early warning of the risk of collision.
3 No inferences shall be made on the basis of summary data, especially non-summary data obtained by radar.
1 All measures to avoid collision shall, if circumstances permit, be effective and clear and be taken well in good time, taking into account the use of good seamanship.
2 If it is necessary to avoid collision or to have more time to assess the situation, a ship shall speed up or reduce the speed by discontinuation or discontinuation.
3 The measures taken to avoid collision with another vessel shall be such as to lead to the passing of a safe distance. The effectiveness of the measures should be carefully monitored until the other ship is completely overrun and is well-free.
1 A ship which is in a fairway and follows its direction must keep the edge of the fairway on its steering, as close as safe and practicable.
2 With the exception of a ship with a length of less than 12 metres, each ship must carry upstream of the Old Head of Walsoorden, which is outside the fairway sailing and its direction, to keep the pilot shore as close as safe and practicable. a.
3 A ship with a length of less than 12 metres, upstream of the Old Head of Walsoorden or in the Sardinian and the Oosthole between the parallel of the light "NoorderHead" and the parallel of the light "Liar", must be located where this is safe and have been removed from the main vessel.
4 Subject to the requirements of Article 18 for non-manoeuvrable ships, sea-going vessels, limited manoeuvrable vessels and small vessels:
a. may not cross the course of a ship which crosses the line of a ship which is in that vessel and its direction does not cross the line of direction if that ship would be obliged to change course or speed in order to Prevent the collision. In the case of a collision hazard, the ship crossing the vessel fully or partially shall deviate from the ship;
(b) may not cross the line of a ship entering that vessel and its direction in the direction of a ship which wishes to enter the course of a vessel in that it would be obliged to change course or speed to prevent collision. In the event of a collision hazard, the first ship, where the vessel enters the vessel, shall depart for a vessel following the vessel;
c. may not cross the heading line of a ship operating outside that vessel and the direction of a ship which wishes to leave the direction of departure if it would be obliged to change course or speed in order to prevent collision. In the event of a collision hazard, the first ship, where it leaves the vessel, must depart for the purpose of the ship outside the navigable vessel.
5 Ships must, if not designated for them by the Rijksharbour master Westerschelde, choose them outside the fairway. If they can only sail in the fairway they must choose anchorage as close to the side as possible so that the passage is not obstructed.
6 Vessels may not hold, anchor or fasten up, anchor or fasten in such a way as to hinder other ships, without the permission of the Rijkshavenmaster Westerschelde before or near to port mouths, turns and lighting lines.
7 Unless with the permission of the Rijkshavenmeester Westerschelde, it is prohibited to load, unload or to bunt a non-mechanised ship. Rules may be subject to such authorisation.
8 It is prohibited to perform repair, cleaning, discharge, disinfection, disinfection, or other work on or on ships, where such hazards, damage or nuisance to navigation may result from, unless such work is carried out with Permission of the Rijkshavenmeester Westerschelde. Rules may be subject to such authorisation.
9 The first paragraph shall not apply to rescue vessels operating in the Sardinian port and the Oostgat by the Rijkshavenmeester Westerschelde.
1 A ship which is moving before power and which wishes to rotate must make it known in time to the ships in close proximity by giving one or two short, followed by one or two short, if twisting or over the steering board or The port of port shall be repeated if necessary. In that case, each ship in the vicinity of the ship shall be kept under way, and any other vessel in the vicinity of the ship, before power, shall stop at least until the rotating vessel does not constitute a nuisance to the passage of the ship.
2 A ship which wishes to run over quiet water shall make it known in time to the ships in close proximity by giving one or two short, followed by one or two short, if twisting or on board or port respectively. This signal must be repeated as necessary. In the vicinity of ships, where necessary, space must be created.
3 A vessel must not take up head only if it does not interfere with other ships. In addition, in the event of the departure of an anchor or multiple place, it must also express its intention of heading forward to the ships in close proximity by giving one or two short one, if the head is before the end of the day. The signal shall be repeated if necessary.
4 It shall be prohibited to rotate or head a vessel before a port of a port when other ships running or leaving port mouths.
The rules in this section shall apply to ships that are in sight of each other.
When two sailing ships approach each other, such that there is a risk of collision, the following rules apply:
a. If one of the sailboats in the fairway holds the starboard side or keeps it outside the navigable flight board, the other sailship shall be outsourced.
b. If neither sailing vessel holds the starboard side of the vessel or is outside the power line, if not on the starboard side of the vessel:
1 °. in the case of both sailing ships lying across different bow, the sailing ship which is on starboard bow shall depart for the sailing ship which is over the port of port;
2 °. in the case of both sailing vessels on the same bow, the sailing ship must depart from the side of the ship before the sailing ship is situated on the ship;
3 °. in the case of a sailing ship which is on starboard bow, sees on its side a sailing ship and cannot determine with certainty whether that sailing ship is on starboard-or on the port of port, it must deviate from that ship;
4 °. in this Article, 'quarters' means the other side than the one on which the mainsail is carried or, in the case of a square, the other side than the one on which the largest long-sailing sail is maintained.
1 Independent of what is prescribed in Chapter 2 , Divisions 1 and 2 , as well as in Article 42 , every ship that runs off another ship, must deviate from the ship that is being caught.
2 A ship is thought to run when it approaches another ship from a direction of more than 22,5 ° more backward than transverse, this means in such position with respect to the ship that it is caught at night only the hekhand which could see but none of the two side-lights. No subsequent change of the poll between the two ships shall be capable of making the ascending vessel in a course of course within the meaning of this Regulation or of being able to exempt it from the ship contracted until it is complete. pass hazards and be good free.
3 When a ship is in doubt as to whether it is running another ship, it must consider itself as an ascending ship and expand it.
4 A power-operated ship which runs off another ship shall pass by the port side of that ship. If the operation can be carried out only if the ship contracted is taking steps to ensure safe passing, the vessel wishing to run on the ship shall make its intention known in good time by giving its intention of giving two long-drafated applications, two short. If the contracted ship can give it space on its port side then it must deport to starboard and give one short punch.
5 Where the circumstances so require, by way of derogation from what is prescribed in paragraph 4, the ascending ship shall pass on to the starboard side of the open-hand side. If the operation can be carried out only if the ship contracted is taking steps to ensure safe passing, the vessel wishing to run on the ship shall make its intention known in good time by giving its intention of giving two long-drafated applications, one short. Can the contracted ship give space to its starboard side then it must deport to port and give two short bursts.
6 The contracted vessel must give at least five short bursts if it cannot cooperate until it is contracted or if, in its opinion, it is impossible to reach it.
7 A sailing ship must reach an overwind of another ship and indicate its intention, depending on the circumstances, by the sound signal specified in the fourth or fifth member.
8 The ship contracted is required to facilitate the rise of the ship by reducing the speed of time and sufficient speed and giving the ascending ship as much space as possible.
9 This Article shall not apply to a ship which is situated inside the vessel outside the navigable vessel and vice versa.
10 Ships must not remain at an equal height unless this can be done without nuisance or hazard to shipping.
1 When two power-operated ships converse at opposite or almost opposite rates to each other in such a way as to bring this danger to collision, both shall depart to the starboard so that they pass each other away from port.
2 Such a situation is deemed to exist when a ship sees another such right, or almost straight forward, that, at night, its main lamps could be seen in a single line or substantially in one line and/or both side-lights. Where a ship is in doubt or is in a situation of such a kind, it must assume that this is the case and act accordingly.
Where the rates of two ships ' propelled by power are intersected in such a way as to endanger the collision, except where: Article 9 (4) Otherwise, the ship which has the other side of the starboard side of the ship and, where the circumstances permit, avoid running before the other.
Any ship that is required to deviate from another ship must, as far as possible, take sufficient measures in time to remain well-free.
1 If one of the two ships is obliged to deviate, the other must retain its course in so far as it has not been determined by this Regulation.
2 However, the ship which must retain its course may take steps to avoid collision by itself making it clear that the ship which is obliged to deviate does not take the appropriate measures to prevent it from taking action. prescribed by this Regulation.
3 If, as a result of any cause, the ship which is bound to stand a course of action is so close to the other that it cannot be avoided by an act of the ship which has to deviate from its own, it must take the measures which the best possible contribution to the prevention of collision.
4 This requirement does not exempt the ship which is obliged to deviate from that obligation.
Except where Article 13 Otherwise required:
a. Must deviate from a power-operated ship that is ferrous for:
-an unmanoeuvrable vessel;

ed.
1 °. must provide an upper sea vessel that is a varende for an unmanoeuvrable vessel;
2 °. must be an overhead sea vessel which is in a position to be hindered in its course by a limited manoeuvring which is in operation and at anchor in the vessel, its intention to pass the latter pass by a sound signal. of three short bursts followed by one long one. In such a case, the limited manoeuvrable vessel shall return to the edge of the vessel as soon as possible;
3 °. may not, as far as possible, cross or cross, leave or not enter the vessel in whole or in part, only after it has been made clear that this can be carried out without danger and without any other vessels. be obliged to change course or speed;
e.
1 °. must depart from a limited manoeuvrable ship sailing in the case of an unmanoeuvrable ship and for an overhead seagoing vessel;
2 °. may not, where possible, cross or cross, leave or not enter the vessel in whole or in part, only after it has been made clear that this can be done without danger and without any other ships would be obliged to change course or speed;
f. should allow a carrier boat and an air-cushion vessel to other ships to have the space required to follow their course and to manoeuvre;
g. A small vessel that is a feral shall deviate from vessels other than small vessels.
1 In case of limited visibility, a ship uses radar. If a ship is not able to sail under radar, the nearest suitable location shall be closed at limited point of view.
2 Any ship must maintain a safe passage to the prevailing conditions and the conditions of limited visibility. A power-operated ship shall have its machinery ready to manoeuvre immediately.
3 A ship which only has radar to detect the presence of another vessel must determine whether a situation develops in such a way that there is such a danger of collision in the same way. If this is the case, it is necessary to avoid taking measures to prevent them from doing so.
4 Except where it has been established that there is no risk of collision, any ship which considers to be more specific than the mistrec of another ship or that a vessel approaching close to a close shall not be able to avoid it, shall be able to reduce to the minimum where it can be held on course. If necessary, the vessel must be removed entirely from the ship and, in any case, be manoeuvring with extreme caution until the danger of collision has been averted.
1 Seagoing vessels must observe the light and day marks prescribed by the provisions in force for the prevention of collisions at sea and in the manner prescribed by those provisions, to the extent not to be determined by this Regulation that seagoing vessels shall be subject to the provisions of this Regulation.
2 The requirements of this Chapter shall be complied with under all weather conditions.
3
