circumstances and conditions to determinate if risk of collision exists. If there is any boubt
such risk shall be deemed to exist.
a) Orice nav trebuie s foloseasc toate mijloacele disponibile corespunztoare
mprejurrilor i condiiilor existente pentru a stabili dac exist un pericol de abordaj. Dac
exist ndoiala n ceea ce privete pericolul de abordaj, trebuie s se considere c acel
pericol exist.

variaz n mod apreciabil, mai ales la apropierea de o nav foarte mare, de un
convoi remorcat sau de o nav care se afl la distan mic.

cea mai eficace pentru a se ajunge ntr-o poziie de foarte mare apropiere, cu condiia ca
aceast manevr s fie fcut cu mult timp nainte, s fie substanial i s nu conduc la o
alt situaie de foarte mare apropiere.

d) Action taken to avoid collision with another vessel shall be such as to result in
passing at a safe distance. The effectiveness of the action shall be carefully checked until
the other vessel is finally past and clear.

6
 d) Manevrele fcute pentru evitarea abordajului cu o alt nav trebuie s fie astfel
nct s permit trecerea la o distan de siguran. Eficacitatea manevrelor trebuie
controlat cu atenie pn cnd cealalt nav a fost complet i definitiv evitat.

safe passage of another vessel shall, when required by the circumstances of the case, take
early action to allow sufficient sea room fot the safe passage of the other vessel.
ii) A vessel required not to impede the passage or safe passage of another vessel
is not relieved of this obligation if approaching the other vessel so as to involve risk
of collision and shall, when taking action, have full regard to the action which may
be required by the Rules of this Part.
iii) A vessel whose passage is not to be impeded remains fully obliged to comply
with the Rules of this Part when the two vessels are approaching one another so as
to involve risk of collision.

b) A vessel shall be deemed to be overtaking when coming up with 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.
b) Va fi considerat nav care ajunge pe o alta din urm acea nav care se apropie
de o alta, venind dintr-o direcie mai mare de 22.5 0 dinapoia traversului celeilalte nave,
adic aceea care se gsete ntr-o astfel de poziie fa de nava ajuns din urm nct
noaptea, ar putea vedea numai lumina din pupa a navei ajunse, fr s vad nici una dintre
luminile din borduri.

c) When a vessel is in doubt as to whether she is overtaking another, she shall

assume this is the case and act accordingly.

the overtaking vessel a crossing vessel within the meaning of these Rules or relieve her of
the duty of keeping clear of the overtaken vessel until she is finally past and clear.
d) Nici o schimbare ulterioar de relevment dintre cele dou nave nu poate face s se
considere nava care ajunge din urm o alt nav, drept nav care taie drumul acesteia din

a) Cnd dou nave cu propulsie mecanic navig pe drumuri direct opuse sau
aproape opuse n aa fel nct exist pericolul de abordaj,fiecare din ele trebuie s abat la
tribord pentru a trece prin babordul celeilalte.

b) Such a situation shall be deemed to exist when a vessel sees the other ahead and
by night she could see the masthead lights of the other in a line or nearly in a line and/or
both sidelights and by day she observes the corresponding aspect of the other vessel.
b) Trebuie s se considere c o astfel de situaie exist atunci cnd nava vede o alt
nav drept n prova ei n aa fel nct, noaptea, va vedea luminile de catarg ale celeilalte
nave pe aceiai vertical i/sau amndou luminile din borduri, iar, ziua, va vedea cealalt
nav sub un unghi corespunztor.

c) When a vessel is in any doubt as to whether such a situation exists she shall
assume that it does exists and act accordingly.

When two power-driven vessels are crossing so as to involve risk of collision, the
vessel which has the other on her own starboard side shall keep out ot the way and shall, if
the circumstances of the case admit, avoid crossing ahead of the other vessel.
Cnd dou nave cu propulsie mecanic au drumuri care se ncrucieaz n aa fel

abat din drumul celeilalte i, dac mprejurrile permit acest lucru, s evite s-I taie drumul
prin prova.

Rule 16

Action by give-way vessel

Manevra navei neprivilegiate

Every vessel which is directed to keep out of the way of anothervessel shall, so far as
possible, take early and substantial action to keep well clear.

posibil, s manevreze din timp, hotrt i n aa fel nct s se ndeprteze la o distan
apreciabil.

Rule 17

Action by stand-on vessel

Manevra navei privilegiate

a) i) Where one of the two vessels is to keep out of the way the other shall keep her

trebuie s-i menin drumul i viteza.
ii)Aceasta din urm nav poate totui s acioneze n scopul evitrii abordajului
numai prin manevra sa, dendat ce i se pare evident c nava care are obligaia de
a se abate din drumul su nu face manevra corespunztoare prevzut de
prezentele reguli.

b) When, from any cause, the vessel required to keep her course and speed finds
herself so close that collision cannot be avoided by the action of the give-way vessel alone,
she shall take such action as will best aid to avoid collision.
b)Cnd, dintr-o cauz oarecare, nava obligat s-i menin direcia i viteza se
gsete att de aproape de cealalt nct abordajul nu poate fi evitat numai prin singura
manevr a navei neprivilegiate, ea va executa manevra cea mai indicat pentru a ajuta la
evitarea abordajului.

c) A power-driven vessel which takes action in a crossing situation in accordance with

sub-paragraph a) ii) of this Rule to avoid collision with another power-driven vessel shall, if

12
the circumstances of the case admit, not alter course to port for a vessel on her own port
side.

nav cu propulsie mecanic al crui drum ncrucieaz drumul su n condiiile prevzute n
alineatul a)ii) din prezenta regul, nu trebuie, dac mprejurrile permit acest lucru, s se
abat la babord dac cealalt nav se afl n babordul su.

d) This rule does not relieve the give-way vessel of her obligation to keep of the way.
d) Prezenta regul nu poate scuti nava neprivilegiat de obligaia de a se abate din
drumul celeilalte nave.
