Coast-assisted collision

摘要

A general cargo vessel was making way in a busy traffic separation scheme (TSS). A bulk carrier was abaft the vessel's starboard beam at a distance of 1.7 n miles and slowly overtaking. The OOW of the general cargo saw another vessel forward, 20° off his starboard bow at 3.9 n miles and with a CPA of 0.1 n miles. He did not acquire the vessel on the ARPA or use the AIS data to determine the vessel's name or status. However, he assessed that the vessel was crossing their bow from starboard to port so he judged his vessel was the give-way vessel.
