What determines a vessel overtaking

1. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Rules of Part B, Sections I and II, any vessel overtaking any other shall keep out of the way of the vessel being overtaken.
2. A vessel shall be deemed to be overtaking when coming up with another vessel from a direction more than 22.5° abaft her beam, that is, in such a position with reference to the vessel she is overtaking, that at night she would be able to see only the sternlight of that vessel but neither of her sidelights.
3. When a vessel is in any doubt as to whether she is overtaking another, she shall assume that this is the case and act accordingly.
4. Any subsequent alteration of the bearing between the two vessels shall not make the overtaking vessel a crossing vessel within the meaning of these Rules or relieve her of the duty of keeping clear of the overtaken vessel until she is finally past and clear.

What is rule 19 define/elaborate

Conduct of Vessels in Restricted Visibility

1. This Rule applies to vessels not in sight of one another when navigating in or near an area of restricted visibility.
2. Every vessel shall proceed at a safe speed adapted to the prevailing circumstances and conditions of restricted visibility. A power-driven vessel shall have her engines ready for immediate maneuver.
3. Every vessel shall have due regard to the prevailing circumstances and conditions of restricted visibility when complying with the Rules of Section I of this part.
4. A vessel which detects by radar alone the presence of another vessel shall determine if a close-quarters situation is developing and/or risk of collision exists.

If so, she shall take avoiding action in ample time, provided that when such action consists of an alteration of course, so far as possible the following shall be avoided:

(i) an alteration of course to port for a vessel forward of the beam, other than for a vessel being overtaken;

(ii) an alteration of course towards a vessel abeam or abaft the beam.

(e) Except where it has been determined that a risk of collision does not exist, every vessel which hears apparently forward of her beam the fog signal of another vessel, or which cannot avoid a close-quarters situation with another vessel forward of her beam, shall reduce her speed to the minimum at which she can be kept on course. She shall if necessary take all her way off and in any event navigate with extreme caution until danger of collision is over.

Visibility of lights In vessels of 12 meters or more in length but less than 50 meters in length:

• a masthead light, 5 miles; except that where the length of the vessel is less than 20 meters, 3 miles;
• a sidelight, 2 miles;
• a sternlight, 2 miles;
• a towing light, 2 miles;
• a white, red, green or yellow all-round light, 2 miles.

Sar policy

100

What is msap verbatim

The Maritime SAR Assistance Policy (MSAP) is the result of an effort enacted by Congress in 1982, It directed the Commandant to review Coast Guard policies and procedures for towing and salvage of disabled vessels in order to further minimize the possibility of Coast Guard competition or interference with commercial enterprise" The raview was directed because of congressional concern that Coast Guard resources were being used unnecessarily to provide non emergency assistance to disabled vessels that could be adequately performed by the private sector.

What is the statutory authority for the us coast guard verbatim

The statutory authority for the U.S. Coast Guard to conduct SAR missions is contained in Title 14, Sections 102, 521, and 707 of the U.S. Code. Tha code states that the Coast Guard shall develop. establish, maintain and operate SAP facilities;(102) and may render aid to distressed individuals and protect and save property on and under the high seas and waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.(521)

It also states that the Coast Guard may use its resources to assist other Federal and State entities. (701)

When no commercial salvage facilitles are on scene, Coast Guard units should only engage in salvage other than towing when insited salvage operations lee, ungrounding. pumping, damage control measures, etc.) con prevent a worsening situation or complete loss of the vessel.

Any salvage operations shall be performed at the discretion of the unit CO/OIC.

Who may relieve the coxswain

The only persons who may relieve the coxswain of the responsibilities are the coxswains commanding officer (OIC), executive officer (XPO), or a senior officer at the scene of a distress, emergency or other abnormal situation under article 5-1-4.

Coxswain responsibility verbatim and where to find it

United States Coast Guard Regulations 1992, COMDTINST M5000 3CHAPTER 5-1-8

The coxswain shall be rasponsible, in order of precedence, for the safety and conduct of passengers and crew; the safe operation and navigation of the boat assigned, and the completion of the sortie or mission(s) assigned or undertaken pursuant to Coast Guard policy and regulations. A coxswain underway shall at all times respond, within the limits of capabilities and legal authority to observed hazards to life or property, and violations of law or regulations.

400

When can coxswain leave the boat

While completing a mission is secondary to ensuring the safety of the crew, passengers, and the boat, the coxswain may leave the boat if;

1) in the coxswain's judgment, and after careful consideration of the remaining crewmembers' experience, the operational benefits clearly outweigh the risk of leaving the boat without a qualified coxswain, and (2) when time permits, every effort is made by the coxswain to receive the concurrence of their operational commander.

500

Explain warranted risk 

WARRANTED RISK

Warranted Risk is the deviation from normal operations or policies when gains of a mission outweigh the risk of safety to complete a mission.

Damage to or sacrifice of the boat is acceptable risk in the defense of the United States, its citizens, and/or installations.

• The probability of saving human life warrants a maximum effort. When no suitable alternative exists and the mission has a reasonable chance of success, the risk of damage to or abuse of the boat is acceptable, even though such damage or abuse may render the boat unrecoverable.

• The possibility of saving human life or the probability of preventing or relieving intense pain or suffering warrants the risk of damage to or abuse of the boat if recovering the boat can reasonably be expected.
• The probability of saving property of the United States or its citizens warrants the risk of damage to the boat if the value of the property to be saved is unquestionably greater than the cost of boat damage and the boat is fully expected to be recoverable.
• The possibility of recovering evidence and interdicting or apprehending alleged violators of Federal law does not warrant probable damage to or abuse of the boat, unless in defense of self or others
