Is the starboard ship a direct or en route ship?

In shipping, a direct ship refers to a ship that runs on a fixed route, while a yield ship refers to a ship that needs to give way to other ships.

As a direct ship, the starboard ship should follow the prescribed route and do not avoid other ships. During the voyage, the starboard ship shall abide by the maritime traffic rules, keep normal running, and shall not change course or stop the ship at will. The starboard ship also needs to keep a safe distance from other ships to ensure that there is enough time to avoid in an emergency.

The starboard ship also needs to pay attention to the surrounding environment, including other ships, weather and current. If dangerous factors are found, measures should be taken in time to avoid or slow down. It is also important for starboard ships to keep in communication with other ships, so that they can send out distress signals in time and get help.

Precautions for navigation:

1. Know the weather and sea state: Before departure, pay close attention to the weather forecast and sea state report, know the current sea state and predict the future changes. If the wind and waves are too strong or the weather is bad, you should consider postponing or canceling the navigation plan.

2. Inspection of ships and equipment: Before leaving the port, conduct a comprehensive inspection of ships and equipment to ensure that they are in good working condition. This includes engines, propellers, rudders, anchors, navigation equipment, life-saving equipment, etc.

3. Dress appropriately: Wear appropriate clothes and shoes on the boat. You should wear comfortable non-slip shoes to avoid slipping or falling on the boat. At the same time, wear clothes suitable for the weather, such as sun protection clothes and windbreakers.

4. Pay attention to safe operation: during sailing, observe the safety operation rules to ensure the safety of the personnel on board. This includes the correct use of equipment on board, observing navigation rules and maintaining order on board.

5. Keep in touch: During the voyage, keep in touch with the shore in order to get the latest weather and sea state information in time. At the same time, keep in touch with other ships to avoid collisions or other accidents.

6. Know the destination: Before sailing, know the geographical, hydrological and meteorological conditions of the destination, so as to make a sailing plan and deal with possible emergencies.
