Snatching Defeat From The Jaws of Victory
Collision during routine crossing situation. Own vessel was the give-way vessel and made a number of small alterations of course to open up CPA from 0.1 but too small to be appreciated by stand-on vessel. Eventually own vessel made a substantial alteration to starboard just as stand-on vessel made similar alteration to port. No injuries, no pollution but 300 tonnes of steel required renewal.
