Give way the proper way
During the evening 4-8 watch, a large, fully loaded container ship
was proceeding westbound through a normally busy traffic separation
scheme (TSS) under the conn of the OOW, with the Master observing. At
the time there was light traffic in the west lane with the nearest vessel
ahead about 2.5 nm and proceeding at a similar speed to ourselves.
There were no small or coastal vessels proceeding between the lane
and the anchorages. Numerous small craft were moving around in the
anchorages, and there was a steady flow of vessels transiting the east
bound lane.
