Course Description
This course focuses on the ambiguous areas of the Rules; the gaps and the overlaps. These are the areas where misunderstanding, confusion, and collisions may occur. This course will focus on the best courses of action in these uncertain areas, not only from a legal point of view but, more importantly, from the aspect of safety. You will learn to recognize these obscure situations and take early action before they become a problem. Our focus will always be: what is the safest decision to make in this situation?
The course is set up as four simulated scenarios drawn from real-world experiences and case law. Attendees will con the vessel in the Full Mission Tug simulator and following each scenario there will be a debriefing and discussion session. While the legal implications of various courses of action will be presented, please note that is not an admiralty law class.
