Abstract

Pike has pointed out the increasing risk of collision resulting from the expansion of the fast commercial vessel fleet and has made some proposals for alleviating the problems. This paper points out some difficulties with Pike's proposals and suggests, instead, a simpler modification of the philosophical basis of the colregs which would equally alleviate the greater risks of collision introduced by higher speed craft.
