  1. All blames always goes to Master though pilot’s are equally responsible.
    I should not make any comment on this particular incidence without knowing the actual fact.

  2. ferries dont usually take pilots.
    Not very clever to pass at the same time that another ship is turning (to me it seems both ship are underway)

  3. I tried to listen. I will run it through the video again. But I didn’t hear a goddamned horn. The bridge officer on this vessel should have been leaning on that horn until hearing an answer.. There should have been a horn on crossing T aft of a ferryboat in that tight of quarters.
    … Oh sorry, I didn’t realize that you needed a French horn.

  4. Really wired seen this video , i do not know the facts occurred but taking a look on the video seems the master manouvered too much confidentially with another ship on the way .
