Definition
This rule applies to vessels not in sight of one another when navigating in or near an area of restricted visibility. There is no stand-on vessel. A vessel detecting another by radar alone must determine whether a close-quarters situation is developing and take avoiding action in ample time, avoiding an alteration to port for a vessel forward of the beam other than one being overtaken, and avoiding an alteration toward a vessel abeam or abaft the beam.
