Increase speed to pass ahead of it. Slow down or stop to give way to the fishing vessel. Pass the fishing vessel close to his aft. Hope that the fishing vessel gives way.

14/20

As both vessels were equipped with Radar what range should the rings be set to?

As both vessels were close to land the range of the rings should have been set to maximum distance. As both vessels are within 10 miles of each and within 10 miles of the coast the rings should be set where the outer ring should include all targets and hazards, say 12 miles. The Minimum range offered by the Radar system. The range rings should be not visible.

15/20

A cargo ship is up ahead and you plan to over take, there is no risk of collision but who is the give way vessel at this stage?

The other vessel is the give way vessel because he is going slower. The other vessel is the give way vessel because he is in the way. We are the give way vessel until we are beyond abaft the beam of the other vessel. Both vessels should give way.

16/20

What is the VRM function on the Radar and what help could it have provided to either vessel prior to the collision?

It is the Velocity Round Mileage and would only help with day time situations. The Variable Range Marker would show a distance and bearing to another target. The VRM is for weather forecasting. It is Vector for Rounding-up Meters.

17/20

Could proper use of the Radar by either vessel helped to avoid the collision and if so which Rules should have been implemented?
