Overtaking video

The UK P&I Club has launched its fourth video in a series of free reflective learning training videos entitled “Collision When Overtaking”. This video shows a scenario where a small tanker is being overtaken by a Capesize bulk carrier when approaching a traffic separation scheme. With neither vessel taking appropriate avoiding action in accordance with the collision regulations, a situation developed whereby the bulk carrier eventually collided with the tanker’s port side, resulting in serious structural damage and flooding. The video goes on to analyse why the collision occurred and what could have been done to prevent it happening.
