In other words, if there is zero visibility and the vessel does not have the instruments to proceed safely, the speed of the water craft should be reduced and course corrections made, until adequate vision is restored for safe operation of the vessel.
Autonomous
robotic vessels
may have the advantage here, where they would typically have superior
instruments and access to geodata,
AIS
and other information that older ships with human operators may not be
equipped with.
Rule 1 states that the rules apply to all vessels
on the high seas and connected waters.
Rule 7
risk assumptions shall not be made on scanty (radar) information.
