Are you watching the same video as me?...Marty Mars<br /><br />Are you watching the same video as me? The whaler did all it could to avoid the AG. The AG broker all the collision regulation rules.<br /><br />1) Small boats have to give way to large ships. Quite obvious really as small boats are much more manoeuvrable.<br />2) The AG should not have stopped in the way of another ship if it was taking the right of way. A vessel must maintain its course and speed.<br />3) When it was obvious a collision was going to happen the AG should have taken all possible action to avoid collision. It did not do this.<br /><br />So this looks to me like the AG playing chicken with a big ship and getting caught out of its depth, literally.<br /><br />Of course the AG, under its previous name, has quite a reputation for reckless navigation, leading to loss of life on that occasion.workingmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686354713190138224.post-23141160772992338132010-01-07T13:13:46.552+13:002010-01-07T13:13:46.552+13:00Nice to see reverse gear still works on a 40 knot ...Nice to see reverse gear still works on a 40 knot plus chilly bin post-collision.<br /><br />Also vessels of the size of the Jap ship change heading easily in a seaway, sometimes up to around 30 degrees. So what looks like a starboard turn from head on, is more likely from falling off a wave in the half decent seaway.PM of NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02095175012980278919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686354713190138224.post-61813889271477351322010-01-07T10:03:57.939+13:002010-01-07T10:03:57.939+13:00Well done BB, if only this could be shown on news,...Well done BB, if only this could be shown on news, but none of us are holding our breath.Medusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02004793309874993453noreply@blogger.com
