11.11 Target intercept
The [Intercept] feature can be used to help rendezvous with friends or for
Pilot boats and the Coastguard to intercept vessels that are to be boarded.
To use the [Intercept] feature, select and hold the target icon until
the menu is displayed, then select [Intercept]. The Chart app will
automatically plot a direct course to a point where your vessel and
the target will cross (intercept).
An interception mark is placed at a predicted point where both your
vessel and the target will cross.
Important:
When performing an individual interception, you are placing your
vessel on a collision course with the target vessel. It WILL be
necessary to change to a parallel course to prevent a collision.
Pre-requisites:
• It is vital to have a good understanding of the International Regulations
for Preventing Collisions at Sea (IRPCS / COLREGS), to ensure all actions
taken are in accordance with the IRPCS. For more information on IRPCS /
COLREGS, refer to:
IRPCS
• You must be familiar with the AIS feature.
• You must have a thorough understanding of the Target interception feature
and its implications before attempting to use it in a real life scenario.
