ROR Rule 6(A) SAFE-SPEED

CHECK YOUR SPEED
Rule 6 requires you to make your own judgement on the appropriate speed for your vessel, taking into account the stuation you are in and the situation you are moving towards.
Excessive speed contributes to many collisions.
Rule 5 an look-out and Ruie 6 are closely linked. If you do not obey Rule 5, then you
cannot obey Fule 6.
Generally a safe speed is a reduced speed, because:
#in most cases, if either ship reduces speed, their closest point of approach (CPA} will increase. the risk of Collison will then reduce.
#it gives you more time to think and to act. Time to think and to act is all important-too much speed and too little time can fatally impair your risk
assessment processes.
#it allows you to stop more effectively
#if a collision does occur, the resulting damage will be a lot less.

SUMMARY
Always travel at a safe speed.
