Thank you so much for your post ‘z-drive’ ( I know there is a ‘Thank’ tool but i can’t seem to see it! - if you know the answer to that too that would be great! ).
I have had a quick look at the Tanker Tromedy and already noted some very interesting points… I found this particularly interesting:
‘‘In 1986 the USA passed the Bridge to Bridge Act which requires all sizable vessels in US Effective Economic Zone which extends up to 200 miles from the American coast to have common VHF equipment, maintain radio watch on a common frequency, have a rudimentary English capability, and to communicate in any situation where a collision is possible and agree on a coordinated maneuver. There have been no tanker Rules screw-up collisions in American waters since then.’’
I will definitely be taking a closer look at this book!
Thank you again
