You are navigating in restricted visibility, on your Radar you plotted your target to be 3points to starboard, what will be your action to avoid close quarter situation

• You may maintain course and speed provided that CPA is large enough, but in case you need to alter course proceed 10degrees to port.

• You may maintain course and speed provided that CPA is large enough, but in case you need to alter course proceed 20degrees to port.

• When you are approaching her from her astern and at night you can see her sternlights and sidelights.

• When you dont see yet both her stern lights and sidelights

What is the proper way to join Traffic Lane (TSS)?

• normally you need to join at the termination of lane, but when joining shall do at small angle to general direction of traffic flow

• make a bold 90degree alterations

• a vessel shall not use a traffic separation and must keep cleat all the time.
