jokan (04/12/2012) [-] Tanker is a less maneuverable ship, it's the other one's fault for not avoiding it, and causing environmental damage all over the place! Also i would like to thank google for teaching me to spell environmental

lordofthesea (04/12/2012) [-] actually, both ships are required to hail each other, and generally agree to divert to stardboard to avoid imminent collision. I have not yet taken Rules of the Road or collision avoidance, but if I recall from what I have learned, if both vessels are making way under normal power, there is no differentiation for maneuverability.

pandak (04/12/2012) [-] That is wrong since the smaller was coming from the right the big ship either has to reduce the speed or manouver around the other one. Plus both Ships have a signal that lets the other ship know they are crossing paths. This means the big ship knew about the other ship long before he could see him!

lordofthesea (04/12/2012) [-] Yeah they have a signal. it's called a RADIO.
and they should both have MULTIPLE radars, tied into an Electronic Chart Display Informational System (ECDIS) that shows you charts, depth soundings, the ships around you, and much more.
Plus standard visibility in fair weather is 10-12 Nautical Miles.
Most ships of this size and maneuverability sail at 12-18 knots, which are nautical miles per hour... If there was an adequate watchstander on board, they had AT LEAST a half hour to make an emergency deviation to port or starboard... and the radar equipment and Electrical nav training to plot out an imminent collision.
