EAIs Starboard to Starboard allowed?
While COLREGs prioritize 'port to port' passing in a head-on situation for its clarity and consistency, it's important to note that it doesn't outright prohibit 'starboard to starboard' passing. Under certain circumstances, 'starboard to starboard' passing might seem preferable for safety purposes. However, this practice deviates from the standard 'port to port' approach recommended by COLREGs due to its potential for confusion and increased likelihood of misinterpretation or error. Especially in high-traffic areas, adhering to uniform navigation procedures is crucial for accident prevention.
