Rule 13 - Overtaking
Overtaking another vessel
General considerations
The main responsibility in an overtaking situation lays by the
overtaking vessel
The overtaking vessel normally proceeds at a higher speed
and,
The speed of approach is rather limited
The overtaking vessel can easily keep out of the way by a helm
action or by an engine action
In a narrow channel or fairway, both vessels should agree on
the best overtaking manoeuvre
In an overtaking manoeuvre always beware for interaction
between both vessels
In a narrow channel or near a shallow, banc suction should also
be considered

Rule 13 - Overtaking
When is a vessel overtaking
(Rule 13 (b))
22
The red vessel sees the sternlight of the green vessel
and no sidelight. She is in the overtaking sector of the
green vessel and must take avoiding action. She can
pass behind the green vessel or ahead of her at a great
distance (This last avoiding action is not recommended).
Rule 13 - Overtaking
In doubt whether or not overtaking
Vessel 2 is definitely
overtaking vessel A. Vessel
3 and 4 are definitely
crossing vessels
Vessels 1 and 3 find
themselves on the border of
seeing or NOT seeing
vessel As sternlight.
Therefore, several doubtful
situations can occur

2 miles
5 miles
In B1 the distance between the two vessels is 5 miles. Although B1 is in the overtaking
sector of A1, the distance is too big and there is no risk of collision.
In B3, the distance is only 2 miles and B3 is now considered to be a crossing vessel.
There is now risk of collision and according to Rule 15, B3 is the stand-on vessel and
A3 the give-way vessel. A3 must take adequate action.

Rule 13 - Overtaking

Rule 13 (d)
WRONG
Vessel B1 is in the overtaking sector of vessel A1 and about 1 mile from vessel A.
In position 2, vessels are still about 1 mile apart. If vessel B decides to turn to port
on a crossing course, she shall still be assumed to be overtaking although she has
left the overtaking sector. She shall therefore take appropriate action to keep clear
of vessel A

Rule 13 - Overtaking
Finally past and clear
Rule 13 (d)
The distance at which the Rules apply depends mainly on the speed of
approach and on the sizes of the vessels.
For two slow vessels, on similar courses and little difference of speed, it may
be less than a mile

Finally past and clear
Rule 13 (d)
In narrow channels and fairways, very often there is a pilot on board who
is completely familiarized with the overtaking procedures
See Rule 9 (e) (i) and (ii) and Rule 34 (c) (i), (c) (ii) and 34 (d)

Interaction can especially occur when vessels overtake each other at close
distance or when a vessel is too close of a bank or shallow. It varies with
the size and speed of the vessel and with the depth of water.
For more details, see Rule 6, slides 32 and further.
Rule 13 - Overtaking
Action by overtaking vessel - Signals
Overtaking signals must only be
given in a narrow channel or
fairway, when the overtaken
vessel has to take action to
permit safe passing (see Rule 9
(e) (i) and (ii).
The overtaking signals are given
in Rule 34 (c) (i) and (ii) and Rule
34 (d).
