Continuing our discussion of SOUND SIGNALS today we look at be vessels at ANCHOR. Vessels under 100 meters must at intervals of not more than 1 minute rapidly ring a BELL for about 5 seconds. Vessels 100 meters or more … Continue reading →
Time to get back to our studying! Today we are continuing to study the different scenarios with SOUND signals in RESTRICTED visibility. If you are a pushing vessel and the vessel being pushed are composite whole, you are considered a … Continue reading →

Today we look at SOUND SIGNALS in an area with RESTRICTED VISIBILITY. If the vessel is POWER DRIVEN then it must sound a signal of intervals of not more than 2 minutes a strong PROLONGED blast. If the power driven … Continue reading →
Today we discuss what happens when a vessel desires to OVERTAKE another vessel in a narrow CHANNEL or FAIRWAY and are in sight of each other. 2 PROLONGED blasts followed by 1 SHORT blast means that my vessel is going … Continue reading →
Today we begin a series on SOUND and LIGHT SIGNALS. First we look at some definitions: WHISTLE refers any sound signaling item capable of producing the required BLASTS. SHORT TERM BLAST = 1 second duration. PROLONGED BLAST= 4-6 seconds duration. … Continue reading →
