A vessel shall
be deemed to be overtaking when coming up with a
another vessel from a direction more than 22.5 degrees
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. |
|
|
By day, the
vessel should be seeing corresponding aspect. |
|
|
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. |
|
|
Any subsequent
alteration of the bearing between the two vessels shall
not make the overtaking vessel a crossing vessel. |
