IRPCS: PART B – Section III

Conduct of Vessels in Restricted Visibility

Rule 19

This section contains specific instructions for what to do in restricted visibility.

The last section of Part B, Section III, only contains one rule–nineteen. This refers to what vessels should do in or near areas of restricted visibility. Whilst the rules don’t give any vessel the right of way, this rule removes even the concept that a vessel has stand-on status in a given situation.
