Every vessel must maintain a proper look-out at all times using sight, hearing, and all available means appropriate to the prevailing conditions. This fundamental COLREG rule helps mariners identify potential dangers early, assess the risk of collision, and take timely action to ensure safe navigation.
Maintain a continuous visual watch
Listen for whistles, fog signals, and VHF traffic
Use radar, AIS, ARPA, and ECDIS effectively
Always consider weather, visibility, and traffic conditions
A vigilant look-out is the first line of defense against collisions and one of the most important responsibilities on board.
