ROR Rule 15 by Capt Anil Bhatia 

Outstanding explanation Capt....i must say,nobody on youtube had explained in such a way as you did.....and one more thing capt....you always said Thank you in almost every of your videos when it is about to finish....but as a matter of fact,it should be us who are suppose to Thank you for your efforts in uploading such quality videos....So,Thank you Capt.bhatia...And would love to see more from you in future.🙏🏻

Excellent lecturer, covering multiple scenarios for ease of understanding

thanks.from pakistan

Excellent lectures.. I am preparing for my second mates and this is helping me a lot. I was always weak in ROR but these videos are clearing my doubts. Your communication is clear and the diagrams/situations you explain on board helps to understand the rule better. I wish you were there to teach us during our pre sea. Anyways, keep up the good work sir !

The best thing about learning from your videos is that I can shut it off whenever I feel and watch it whenever I want as per my convenience . I have always felt lazy and boring to attend lectures after lunch break. I see your lectures after midnight and I'm able to concentrate on it more. Thanks for your precious lectures sir !

dear respected sir, no doubt your explanation is very good but in this crossing situation if you are altering course at range of 8 NM. but as per rule 22 - visibility of mast head lights are 6 miles, whereas side lights are 3 miles. so, how can i see the side lights which have intensity of just 3 miles at 8 NM? I hope u would reply, or any pro lad in colregs gives me satisfactory answer..

Excellent sir... Very clear now... With all situations.

Sir if circumstances of the case does not permit me to alter course towards star board site can't I alter course to Port side 90 degree to the relative approach of the targets as it is the fastest way of getting away from the situations sir above action are still within the rule 15 or it will come under the heading rule 2 departure from the rules

Very excellent explanation

Sir , the second case you explained where the target is 2 points abaft the beam and we a/c to port . Sir here instead of doing a parallel course for a long distance why can't we a/c to port take a full round and pass astern of the target vessel.

I have a doubt .what to do if vessel coming from 22.5 deg abaft of the beam

Instead of class recordings, try to make videos which are scripted by you. extremely helpful . i am glad I found this channel .Thanking you Rai.

Sir , at 12.32 min if there is any obstruction or danger to port what action should be takem by A?

Big thanks to you sir, really very helpful for us ....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Sir in the 2nd situation where the vessel is coming from 20 degrees abaft the beam can we alter to stbd and head to the stern of the vessel provided the distance between that vessel and my vessel is more than the turning circle of my vessel?

Cpa means what sir

Excellent lecture sir Easily understanding

I am pdv... and see RAM vessel on 40 degree port... I can Alter to port ? And starboard? Please help sir

Hello sir. First of all, i have seen all your videos related to ROR on your channel and would like to thank you a lot for sharing your knowledge and wisdom through these videos and for such a fine explanation. Helping me a lot to prepare for my 2nd mate competency orals. I have 2 questions: 1. NUC or RAM vessel crossing from port to stbd. Who would be the give way vessel in this case? Because rule 15 applies only to 'power driven' vessels. If the answer is own vessel owing to rule 18, would altering to port and passing astern of these vessels be acceptable? as 17c also applies only when the another vessel is power driven. 2. In RV, you explained if own vessel hears apparently abaft the stbd beam the fog signal of another pd vessel, to increase the frequency of our sound signal. What if the intensity of target vessel is still increasing despite this? What can own vessel do manoeuvring wise? These questions were asked in orals recently and was not sure about the answers. Would appreciate your reply.

Perfect analysing!!! Captain I have two questions. First, in special circumstances only we alter course to port and one of there is when we have a tug ahead in our starboard side. But if this tug was in the port side we must alter heading to starboard? Also when we change course is mandatory to announce via sound signals to be more clear?

Sir, what should be the best action in example 2 of this explanation, where you talked about alteration to PORT?

Excellent sir...I'm from srilanka

Excellent explanation sir

Hello sir, Vsl sees both sidelights and masthead lights of target vessel one point on the stbd bow at 3 miles. Own vessel spd 15 kts, target vessel speed 18 kts. As i see it, this means that the vessel is heading for own vessel and there will be appreciable bearing change and hence subsequently no ROC. But, the CPA will be low and there can be a close quarters situation. Action by own vessel? should she alter wide to stbd so that target vessel sees her port light after action compared to her stbd light before or should she keep her course and speed and not take any action at all since there is no ROC?

god day sir. i have one questions. sir, case like that: i am drive power vessel , at the night time , surrounded fishing vessels and its appears vishing vessel wich comes forward/ ports side and exist crossing situation. in this case what will be my action?
