Every vessel shall use all available means appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions to determine if risk of collision exists.

In determining if risk of collision exists, the following considerations shall be taken into account:
(a)
such risk shall be deemed to exist if the compass bearing of an approaching vessel does not appreciably change;
(b)
such risk may sometimes exist even when an appreciable bearing change is evident, particularly when approaching a very large vessel or a tow or when approaching a vessel at close range; and
(c)
if there is any doubt, such risk shall be deemed to exist.
