The information contained on the Navigation Rules Card is that which is considered critical to safe passage for all vessels. There are 72 rules in all that were developed by the Intergovernmental Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO), which was later renamed to the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The rules of navigation are similar to the rules of the road when driving a car. They are meant to provide consistency so everyone can work to help avoid a collision. There are many nuances to the rules that must be understood before operating a craft. The most important rule is known as “Rule 7,” which addresses what to do when the risk of collision is present. Determining whether a risk of collision exists is key: the prevailing weather and circumstances can be used to determine if a risk is present. If in doubt, it is always suggested that you act as if the risk is present. Knowing these rules is the first step to the safe operation of your vessel. What is the Most Important Navigation Rule? Three rules are considered the most important to help prevent collisions. The first is that at a bare minimum, you should have a proper lookout. The second is that you should always operate your vessel at a safe speed. The third is that you should always give right-of-way when in doubt. It is always suggested that you follow these rules, but if a collision is imminent, it is acceptable to break them if it means avoiding an accident. Safety and protecting human lives should always come first. You should also use a compass to check the bearing of any neighboring vessel. This means checking them frequently because they can change bearings, and you must be continually vigilant. You should also be able to recognize when you are the stand-on or give-way vessel. It is always the duty of the give-way vessel to avoid a collision.
