Abstract

In this paper, based on an article printed on the back of the March 1973 issue of the Pilot Chart of the North Atlantic Ocean, Mr Fricker analyses three collisions that emphasize the necessity for adhering to the concepts of prudence and safety underlying the Rules of the Road; they are no less essential when navigating by radar in reduced visibility. Terms such as ‘right rudder’, readily understood, have not been altered to conform to English Martime parlance.
