Paragraph 5 Vessel passing within the narrow channels of the dockyard port

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

When two power-driven vessels, proceeding in opposite directions, are about to meet one another in a narrow channel the power-driven vessel navigating against the tidal stream must give priority of passage through the channel to the vessel navigating with the tidal stream.

(2)

For the purposes of this paragraph—

(a)

a vessel is power-driven if it is propelled by machinery; and

(b)

a vessel gives priority to another vessel for the purposes of this rule by reducing its speed and waiting until the oncoming vessel has passed.
