    Purpose or rule 19 in colregs

    Rule 19 of the COLREGs (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea) is titled "Conduct of
    Vessels in Restricted Visibility". It provides guidance on how vessels should behave when navigating in
    conditions where visibility is limited, such as fog, heavy rain, or night time.

    The purpose of Rule 19 is to ensure safe navigation in these potentially hazardous conditions, where it
    becomes difficult for vessels to see each other and assess risks of collision. It emphasizes the need for
    vessels to take additional precautions to avoid accidents, including:

    1. Reduced speed: Vessels must slow down to a safe speed appropriate for the conditions of restricted
    visibility.

    2. Increased watch: Proper lookout must be maintained by all available means, including using radar,
    sound signals, and visual observations.

    3. Action to avoid collision: If two vessels are approaching in restricted visibility, they are required to
    take action to avoid a collision, often by altering course or speed, in accordance with other COLREGs,
    such as Rule 8 (Action to avoid collision).

    4. Sound signals: In restricted visibility, vessels must sound appropriate fog signals to indicate their
    presence and location.

    Overall, Rule 19 aims to reduce the risk of collision when visibility is impaired, requiring vessels to
    navigate more cautiously, to be aware of the presence of others, and to take the necessary steps to
    prevent accidents.

    10. In a crossing situation as per ColreGs which vessel is the given way vessel.

    In the context of the ColRegs (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea), a vessel is the
    give-way vessel if it is required to take action to avoid a collision. The specific rules for identifying the
    give-way vessel in a crossing situation depend on the relative positions of the vessels involved:

    Rules 15: Crossing Situation

    When two power-driven vessels are crossing, the vessel which has the other on her starboard side is the
    give-way vessel.

    The give-way vessel must take early and substantial action to avoid a collision, typically by altering
    course to starboard (right) to pass behind the other vessel.

    The vessel that has the other on its port side (left) is the stand-on vessel, and it must maintain its course
    and speed.

    Rule 9: Narrow Channels (related to crossing situations)


    In narrow channels, additional rules apply where vessels must follow more specific rules, and the vessel
    that is less maneuverable may be given priority.
