When two power - driven vessels are crossing so as to involve risk of collision , the vessel which has the other on her own starboard side shall keep out of the way and shall , if circumstances of the case admit , avoid crossing ahead of the other vessel 当两艘机动船交叉相遇有构成碰撞危险时,有他船在本船右舷的船舶应给他船让路,如当时环境许可,还应避免横越他船的前方。
The first chapter , to clarify the conception of the " crossing situation " , focuses on expounding the definition and the classification of the " crossing situation " , including the definition of the " power - driven vessel " , " course crossing " , and " so as to involve risk of collision " , the classification of the pattern for the crossing situation as well , meanwhile , the thesis puts forward the general division for the " crossing situation " : such as small angle " crossing situation " , abeam " crossing situation " , and large angle " crossing situation " 第一篇主要论述“交叉相遇局面”的定义和分类,包括对“机动船” 、 “航向交叉” 、 “致有构成碰撞危险”这三者的定义和交叉相遇局面的分类,使“交叉相遇局面”在概念上有一个清晰的定义,同时明确地给出了交叉相遇局面三种交叉态势的一般划分:小角度交叉、正横交叉、大角度交叉。
