---------ABOUT THE VIDEO---------
This video was originally uploaded to our other channel, Casual Navigation, back in 2018.
An "in depth" look at Rule 14 of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, the COLREGS. The COLREGS are the rules of the road that vessels must obey at sea to avoid collisions.
Rule 14 details head on situations. In this video I go into detail about each part of the rule and give a few examples of how to apply the rule at sea.
---------RULE 14---------
Rule 14: Head-on situation
(a) 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.
(b) Such a situation shall be deemed to exist when a vessel sees the other ahead or nearly ahead and by night she would see the mast head lights of the other in a line or nearly in a line and or both sidelights and by day she observes the corresponding aspect of the other vessel.
(c) When a vessel is in any doubt as to whether such a situation exists she shall assume that it does exist and act accordingly.

thank you for easier study. I think it´s very useful for anybody.
amazing channel. I paid for a course in Denmark but this is much better and free !!!!
Little confusion with the lights at night, shouldn’t it be turning to starboard?
no. if it would be turning to starboard, you would see the red light from the port side and eventually no green light from the starboard side.
@@fifa97etc so what you mean is "yes you are correct" 🤣
They were refering to how to identify if it is head on or not.... 😉 Also confused at first...
I just picked up on the same thing. Your correct the animation would’ve made better sense of the rule if it’d shown the turn the other way with a port light visible.
Keep uploading sir it helps me alot for my schooling 👍
Good Luck With It Mate!
Well Next Year Is My Turn To Jump In Into Maritime Schooler

I have a small confusion with the example u gave with the lights.. it should move to starboard side and the port light will be visible shouldn't it??
Yes you are correct i was thinking the same
Alteration to starboard we'll get to see the port(red) light.
thanks !
You have such a great video, but then your example of an aspect change at night has a vessel turning to port. Why didn't you have it comply with the rule you are speaking about? This will confuse any neophyte.
awesomee
Red to red
I'm referring to the nav lights
Hey I don't know if you keep these updated but the light example in the end doesn't seem right. You might wanna put a disclaimer about that one.
Is there any specification on term "nearly pesiprocal"?Could we determine this in degrees? For instance if two vessels with opposite direction of 12degrees will be engaged in a head-on situation or crossing?
should have done the example with the red light so people will not be confuse with the alteration to be done
Yo why my son turning to port when meeting Head-on during the night? Buggin tf out
How much degree does nearly aligned means?
around 10 degrees could be, is about your interpretation and how you are looking the lights at night or how the mast looks at day anyway you can apply part C and do the alteration in an ample time
First comment
CBD head on with RAM.
You are CBD. Action ?
In rule 18 d, Any vessel other than a vessel not under command or a vessel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, avoid impeding the safe passage of a vessel constrained by her draught, exhibiting the signals in Rule 28.
in this case cbd is stand on vessel
