    This document outlines Rule 8 of the COLREGS regarding actions that vessels must take to avoid collision. The rule states that any actions taken to avoid collision must be made in ample time, with due regard for good seamanship, and be readily apparent. A succession of small maneuvers should be avoided, and altering course alone may be sufficient if done in good time and without risking another close-quarters situation. Action must result in a safe passing distance.
