Abstract

The September 2002 issue of The Journal included a paper that implied that the US practice of negotiating collision avoidance manoeuvres by VHF had effectively been endorsed by the IMO. That view is challenged, by reference to the relevant provisions in the US legislation, the COLREGS and chapter IV of the SOLAS Convention. This paper also concludes that AIS will be a useful tool to provide additional information, but should not alter the way in which the COLREGS are to be applied.
