![]() A vessel engaged in dredging, surveying or underwater operations.a vessel engaged in laying, servicing or picking up a navigational mark, submarine cable or pipeline.The term “ vessels restricted in their ability to manoeuvre” shall include but not limited to:. The following are the vessels as declared under these Rules to be ‘vessels restricted in their ability to manoeuvre’, however this list is not absolute and final, this is a general guidance for such vessel, any vessel other than those in the list may also be ‘vessels restricted in their ability to manoeuvre’. Meaning: This includes a ship which is doing some special work by which she can move only in one direction – say ahead, but cannot alter her course to take evasive action neither can she slow down or speed up to avoid a collision then in that case the vessel would be restricted in her ability to manoeuvre. The term “v essel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre” means a vessel which from the nature of her work is restricted in her ability to manoeuvre as required by these Rules and is, therefore, unable to keep out of the way of another vessel. Like ME breakdown and she cannot anchor, steering failure, launching a rescue boat or a lifeboat. Meaning: Here a vessel not under command means any vessel, which because of some reason cannot keep out of the way of other vessels. The term “ vessel not under command” means a vessel which through some exceptional circumstances is unable to manoeuvre as required by these Rules and is, therefore, unable to keep out of the way of another vessel. Meaning: Obvious meaning, an aircraft which in an emergency is landing (ditching) in the water would not be termed as a seaplane, only those planes which by their construction and purpose can safely land, take off and manoeuvre to a pier or jetty are called seaplanes.į. The word “ seaplane” includes any aircraft designed to manoeuvre on the water. The equipment as specified under the Rules is nets, lines (long line tuna fishing), trawls or other equipment, which are similar.Į. If the fishing vessel is not fishing or is using equipment, which does not restrict their taking evasive, action for safety then they are not termed as fishing vessels. Meaning: Fishing vessels means vessels actually fishing and which due to their equipment in the water are unable to move away and keep clear of other vessels. The term “vessel engaged in fishing” means any vessel fishing with nets, lines, trawls or other fishing apparatus which restrict manoeuvrability, but does not include a vessel fishing with trolling lines or other fishing apparatus which do not restrict manoeuvrability. So as long as this main engine on sailing vessels is not used they are termed as sailing vessels, the moment their main engine is started they are termed as power driven vessels, even if they hoist sails.ĭ. Meaning: Sailing vessels of today rely on some form of machinery propulsion, that is when the wind is calm and the sailing vessel is not moving the sailing vessels (some of them) have provision for use of their main engine and propeller. The term “ sailing vessel” means any vessel under sail provides that propelling machinery if fitted, is not being used. Meaning: Power here means power obtained from machinery, such as diesel engines, from the smallest to the largest, sailing vessels are not included as long as they are purely under sail, vessels under oars are also not included.Ĭ. The term “ power-driven vessel” means any vessel propelled by machinery. All barges are also included since no propulsion system has been mentioned in this part of the Rule.ī. A seaplane when on the water displaces water so as long as it is on the surface of the water it is considered as a vessel. Also included are crafts, which do not displace water – such as hovercraft. Meaning: All types of craft that float on water and are used as a means of transportation. The world “ vessel” includes every description of watercraft including non-displacement craft, WIG craft and seaplanes used or capable of being used as a means of transportation on water. ANNEX III – Technical Details of Sound Signal Appliancesįor the purpose of these Rules except where the context otherwise requires:Ī.ANNEX II – Additional Signals for Fishing Vessels Fishing in Close Proximity.Annex 1 – Positioning and technical details of lights and shapes.Part F – Verification of compliance with the provisions of the Convention.Rule 35 – Sound signals in restricted visibility.Rule 34 – Manoeuvring and warning signals.Rule 30 – Anchored vessels and vessels aground.Rule 28 – Vessels constrained by their draught.Rule 25 – Sailing vessels underway and vessels under oars.Rule 23 – Power-driven vessels underway.Rule 19 – Conduct of vessels in restricted visibility.Rule 18 – Responsibilities between vessels.
