What was the
last M Notice
that
you
read?
Latest ne
of substantial ubject
matterwas MGN369.
Why
do
you
th ink the
MCA
has issued MGN369?
(There
are
quite
a few rules
this MGN covers)
How
do
you
interpret Rule 2?
Wellmy answerwas
akenout
of one of the Lawbooks.
2a The
obligation
on
part
of the owner, master
or
crew
to comply with the
rules
is
imperative.
They
must
carry out
the duties and take the
actions stipulated by the
rules. They also must take the precautions required by the ordinary practice of
seaman. Failure
to
comply
with
the
rules
of the
ordinary
practice
of seaman may
be regarded
as
a fault,
if
it causes
damage, will bring about civil
liability.
2b As
mentioned
above,
makes it
clear that the
rules
are not
merely a
prudential
character and therefore
they must
be
rigorously obeyed.
However
n
case the strict
adherenie to
any rule
of
the
Collision regulations
puts
the ship
in a
potential
collision situation,
this
paragraph
allows
the
Master the
right to depart from this
rule.
Thus
any
rule
can
be
broken
when
prudence
and
good
seamanship
demands.
Departure from
the
rules
is
justified
when 4 conditions are
fulfilled
It is
absolutely
necessary,
it
is
adopted
to
avoid
immediate
danger,
it is exercised
to
the
extent
that
such
danger
requires
&
the course of action
adopted
was
reasonable n the prevailing circumstances.
