Traffic separation schemes (TSS)

Поиск

A very important rule that covers areas of the oceans that have been internationally agreed to have a TSS covering them. A TSS is, essentially, a “road map” marked on a navigators chart, which shows roads (or lanes), the lane a ship must take when going in a given direction and how she must behave within the TSS. The TSS coverage areas are usually areas of high traffic density; hence this attempt to “regulate” the traffic. Ships are not bound to use the TSS all the time, but whenever they do or are in the vicinity of a TSS, they must follow Rule 10.

When navigating in a traffic separation lane follow its direction and, if practicable, keep clear from the separation zone or line.

Normally join or leave at entrances, but when doing it from the sides the “attack angle” should be as close to the lane as possible.

If crossing a traffic lane is unavoidable, the crossing shall be done at an angle as close as possible to 90 degrees to the lane, presenting a full profile to ships within the lane. The aim should be to cross as quickly as possible.

Vessels with a length over 20 metres are recommended to use available traffic lanes instead of inshore traffic zones, but vessels under 20 metres of length and sailing vessels may in all circumstances use the inshore traffic zones.

Entering the separation zone is only allowed when crossing, joining or leaving the lane, in case of emergency or when fishing inside the zone is intended.

Navigating at the ends of the separation should be performed with caution.

Anchoring in a traffic separation scheme or near its termination should be avoided.

Vessels that are not using the scheme shall avoid it by as wide a margin as practicable.

Vessels engaged in fishing shall not impede other traffic.

Vessels with a length of less than 20 metres and sailing vessels shall not impede other traffic.

Vessels that are engaged in maintenance or in underwater work, with restricted manoeuvrability may carry out the operation at their own will.

III. Read and translate the following text:

The learning objectives of this lesson are:

· The “rule of the road” when two vessels are passing each other.

· The responsibility between these vessels.

· The conduct of vessels in restricted visibility (Note that night is not considered bad or restricted visibility for the Colregs).

Overtaking

If a vessel is approaching another vessel from behind, within the theoretical sector of the forward vessel’s stern light, it is considered as an overtaking vessel, and it must give way in all circumstances until the other vessel is finally passed and clear. It can overtake on either side.

The overtaking zone:

Leave to port:

Leave to starboard:

Sound and light signals are prudent to indicate to the vessel which side the intention is to overtake on. The vessel being overtaken will signal agreement with specified sound/ light signals, foghorn and/ or light.

Head-on situation

In case of a head-on situation between two power-driven vessels, both shall alter course to starboard (right) and pass on the port (left) side of the other. A head-on situation exists by night if both red and green sidelights are visible. And if there is doubt about the situation, it shall be assumed that it is a head-on.

Port to Port (preferred)

 

Leave to Starboard (if in agreement)

Crossing situation

In case of a crossing situation between two power-driven vessels, the one that has the other on its starboard side shall give way and avoid crossing ahead of her.

The “stand-on” vessel must maintain its course and speed.

The “give-way” vessel can alter speed or alter course, or indeed, a combination of the above.

If both vessels are head on (on reciprocal courses) each will alter course to starboard and keep out of the way of the other.

Action by “give-way” vessel

When a vessel has the obligation to give way, it shall do it in good time and as distinctly as possible.

Action by “stand-on” vessel

The vessel with right of way – or stand-on vessel – shall maintain its course and speed.

However, when it is clear that the “give-way” vessel is either not taking any actions or not doing enough for preventing a collision, then the “stand-on” vessel must act.

In such a situation, the “stand-on” vessel shall not alter its course to port.
