This topic explains the application of Rule 14, Head-on Situation. Explains that when two power-driven vessels are meeting on reciprocal or nearly reciprocal courses so as to involve risk of collision each shall alter her course to starboard so that each shall pass on the port side of the other. Explains that when a vessel is in any doubt as to whether such a situation exists she shall assume that it does exist and act accordingly.

This topic explains why the give-way vessel in a crossing situation shall, if the circumstances admit, avoid crossing ahead of the other vessel Explains that when two power-driven vessels are crossing so as to involve risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on her own starboard side shall keep out of the way.

This topic explains how Rule 16 and Rule 8 relate regarding the action by a give-way vessel States that a potential collision situation may be divided into the following four stages: • at long range, before risk of collision exists and both vessels are free to take any action • risk of collision applies, the give-way vessel is required to take action and the other vessel must keep her course and speed • the give-way vessel is not taking appropriate action • collision cannot be avoided by the action of the give-way vessel alone

This topic explains the position of stand-on vessel in cases where a risk of collision exists between more than two vessels. Explains how to decide when to take avoiding action as stand-on vessel. Describes the avoiding action which must be taken by the stand-on vessel.

This topic explains the responsibilities between vessels with reference to Rules 18 and 3. This topic describes a vessel not under command, a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver, a vessel constrained by her draft. Illustrates the hierarchy and responsibilities of the vessels according Rule 18.

This topic explains the application of Rule 19. Compares Rule 6 and Rule 19 regarding the determination of safe speed.

This topic describes the lights carried these vessels and the operation or circumstances signified by them. Describes the shapes carried these vessels and the operation or circumstances signified by them. Identify the lights, shapes carried by any type of vessels and evaluate the vessel’s type of vessels including vessel with special additional station signal lights, shapes and signals.

This topic defines whistle and explain the specifications requirements in Annex III to these Regulations. Describes a short blast, a prolong blast and duration. Describes the sound signals to be used by power driven vessels while underway in sight of one another, when maneuvering.

This topic evaluates the maneuvering and warning signals as used by vessels in or near an area of restricted visibility. Identify the sound signals in restricted visibility. Determines the use of signals to attract attention. Carry out appropriate sound signals in restricted visibility.

This topic describes distress signals. List the distress signals set out in Annex IV of COLREGs 1972. Identify the distress signals set out in Rule 37 & Annex IV.

This topic Discusses the purpose given in the context of compliance. Discusses the required changes to be made in the positions and characteristics of lights and in the performance of sound signaling appliances.
