Engines stand-by
In restricted visibility, a powerdriven vessel is required to have
her engines ready for immediate
manuvre
This applies even in the open
ocean
For many vessels, the stand-by
position corresponds to full
manoeuvring speed and involves
some reduction of speed

Rule 5: Look-out
In order to keep a good look-out in restricted visibility it is
necessary:
to have a man posted on look-out duty by day as well as
at night
to keep a continuous radar watch by a competent person

Rule 19 (d)
Important remark
Rule 19 is composed of two important parts
1. Because sound signals are normally heard up to 2 miles for large
vessels and only 0,5 miles for very small vessels (see Annex III,
Technical details of sound signal appliances), when hearing a fog signal:
the vessel will be maximum 2 miles away and if forward of the beam,
she will most probably be in a close-quarters situation and if risk of
collision exists, Rule 19 (e) will apply.
The vessel will, of course, also be seen on the radar
2. On the other hand, if a vessel is not heard and only detected on the
radar she will most probably be further than 2 miles and not be in a close
quarters situation or represent a risk of collision (yet). Rule 19(d) applies.
Experience has shown that masters or OOW are often reluctant to give
sound signals when they should do so
31
Rule 19 (d)
Close-quarters situation
The distance of a close quarters situation is difficult to measure in miles.
It depends upon a number of factors:
- Size and manoeuvring characteristics of the vessels
- The speed of the vessels
- The traffic density
- Experience and judgement of the Master and/of the OOW
- Etc.

Rule 19 (d)
Avoiding actions
A substantial alteration of course and/or speed in
ample time
Avoid altering course to port, so far as possible, for a
vessel forward of the beam (except for a vessel being
overtaken)
Altering course towards a vessel abeam or abaft the
beam, so far as possible
Keep in mind the dual action situation with an
alteration of course to starboard for both vessels

Rule 19 (e)
Never wait too long to take avoiding action. Do not wait until
the other ship is so close that you can hear her fog signal
Always keep in mind that some ships may not give the
prescribed fog signals, especially when they only rely on
their radar
