The masthead light needs to be visible across 225 degrees and from two miles away. A few countries like the US have special rules for inland navigation within their rivers etc., but they donât usually deviate in a major way from international conventions. For vessels under 50 m in length, a second masthead light is optional.
If something happens, he will be held inescapably and ultimately responsible. How about sidelights that were installed on the radius of the deck of a boat so that the arc of visibility for the lights were at 45-degree angles rather than across the horizon?
As far as MGN 152 - it’s their job to send out memos, its our job to sail ships. The length of your boat: e.g. Phoenix;69815]Then again, if a tanker is drifting with its engine off it can’t just turn.[/QUOTE]. That light is probably your all-round light that you use when you're anchored.
(Show a lit stern light.) If you see red, you're likely the burdened vessel, and if you see green you're likely the privileged vessel, just as if you could be seen in daylight. Then how does being underway making 0.015kts effect the rules for maneuvering itself? Electric drive is an even bigger no brainer…the generators are running anyway regardless. Bottom line? Navigation lights requirements vary depending on the length of the boat. It would be nice it AIS had an “drifting” status. Boat Navigation Lights. Anchored, moored, or drifting vessels or floats (except ski jumps and ski landing floats) Other marked areas It is prohibited to operate a motorboat at any speed when towing a person on water skis or other devices using a tow rope of 20 feet or less as measured from the transom of the boat. The engines should be available at anytime to maneuvering…PERIOD! Situation 4: A vessel is moving up river with 5 knots speed and with 5 knots against current.
I know this has already been figured out…MGN 152 blah… blah… blah…. 3 Whenever a sailing vessel is using its engine, with or without sails, it is a power-driven vessel within the meaning of the COLREGS and must act accordingly and show the appropriate shapes by day and lights by night.
The Marine Safety Act requires that lights must be displayed from sunset to sunrise and in times of restricted visibility during daylight hours. Until then ad lib. Exactly, takes a good few minutes to turn even with the engines lol. And they show themselves as NUC. (Photo: Daniel Rutherford). The answer is "all of the above." x���r��}�b��Tv28�қ�ñ��l�N*%���Er�c��?#��
��9)J���F�����v�6�.[��Ǘ�??�g�^>��=�;[�]�F�}? But what if the stern light is blocked by a man-overboard module (MOM) or Horseshoe/Type IV throwable device, or laundry drying on the rail? Whenever you are operating between sunset and sunrise, or in other times of restricted visibility, such as in fog or rain, you need to display the appropriate navigation lights so that other boats can see you and take the appropriate action to avoid a collision. The trolling motor mounted here almost completely blocks the green sidelight, rendering it useless. to be in accordance with the lights and shapes that the vessel is exhibiting, paradoxically, it is found that the AIS option to be chosen is ‘underway using engine’, ... Firstly, because as it has already been highlighted that the Rules consider a drifting vessel to be an underway vessel. Only the do I start the mains and heave anchor. Most just put up the lights and just sit there when in all reality that they should take the lights down and be prepared to maneuver to avoid collision. <> [QUOTE=Capt.
But in the dark, the only way to see a boat and tell what direction it is moving is by its navigation lights. NUC or not, think that’s the last thing I would want on an LNG ship…. My bosses are happy because I am using the client’s operations manual to justify my actions and I am happy by passive aggressively sticking their procedures in their a**es and it is ALL about me being happy. When you drift you can drift away from traffic. Copyright © 2020 Bright Hub PM.
On the Rules issue… I like the rules because they give us a simple framework to work within and do not cover EVERY situation specifically. I’ve had to drift for days at a time and it’s a pain. In situation 1, the vessel is underway while in situation 2 vessel is making way. That is why there is a specific time frame of apprenticeship before you become a Master and even then you are minimally qualified and experienced for that position. Or a combination bow light that was properly mounted on the bow of a bass boat by the manufacturer, only to have the dealer install a trolling motor bracket that blocked the starboard side of the light?
A good knowledge of Navigational lights is thus essential for a mariner to sail safely through the oceans. These two basic vessel classes have simple rules. The rules definitely need to be reviewed. Daniel K. Rutherford is president of Ocean Marine Specialties, Inc., a marine consulting firm that specializes in marine accident reconstruction and claims investigations. var plc296584 = window.plc296584 || 0; Now make sure that the light is mounted correctly so that it projects the proper arc of visibility.
So must fishing vessels, towing vessels and big ships restricted in their ability to manoeuvre by virtue of their size.
Of course all of this is also true of vessels on DP but not conducting any work at the moment that would qualify them as RIATM. To comment on this article, please contact Seaworthy@BoatUS.com. (a) A vessel not under command shall exhibit: (i) Two all-round red lights in a vertical line where they can best be seen; (ii) Two balls or similar shapes in a vertical line where they can best be seen; and (iii) When making way through the water, in addition to the lights prescribed in this paragraph, sidelights and a sternlight.
