🚢 **Rule 13 – Overtaking**

Safe passing starts with good judgment.

Under Rule 13, any vessel that is overtaking another vessel must keep well clear of the vessel being overtaken. It does not matter what type of vessel you are — if you are coming from behind and overtaking, the responsibility is yours to avoid danger.

✅ Assess early
✅ Plan your pass
✅ Keep a safe distance
✅ Do not cut in too close
✅ Clear astern before resuming course

Good seamanship is not an option — it is your responsibility.

**Be alert. Be disciplined. Be professional.** ⚓

⚓ Difference Between Watertight & Weathertight Doors ⚓
🔹 Watertight Door • Designed to withstand water pressure from both sides
• Usually installed below the waterline
• Prevents flooding between compartments
• Built to resist high water pressure
• Tested using water pressure inside a tank
🔹 Weathertight Door • Designed to resist water from outside only
• Usually installed above the waterline
• Protects against rain, sea spray, and rough weather
• Prevents water ingress from weather conditions
• Tested using high-pressure hose testing
✅ In Simple Words: Watertight doors stop flooding inside the ship, while weathertight doors protect against seawater and harsh weather from outside. 🚢🌊
