𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐒 𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄 𝟐𝟕 – 𝐕𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐀𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐞𝐮𝐯𝐫𝐞 COLREGS Rule 27 covers vessels not under command (NUC) and vessels restricted in their ability to manoeuvre (RAM). A vessel NUC displays two all-round red lights vertically and, when making way through the water, sidelights and a sternlight. A RAM vessel displays three all-round lights vertically: red, white, red, and when making way, also displays masthead light(s), sidelights, and a sternlight. Knowing these lights is essential for identifying a vessel’s condition and understanding that it may have limited ability to manoeuvre. Remember: NUC = Red over Red, RAM = Red–White–Red. Always maintain a proper lookout and take appropriate action in accordance with the COLREGS. #Marinoph #fyp #viral #seaman #lifeatsea
