Small contact = unpredictable.
Big contact = Better siam.
Somemore most big contacts actually go faster than the small
contacts. They average 10-25knots. At that speed, nothing stops
them.
On coming out of Tuas the other day, a long prolonged ship-horn
blast forced us to atcually REVERSE as this 300m long
container vessel barreled towards us at 15-20knots.
Me never knew what almost hit us bcos I was on the other side of
the ship. Seeing the never-ending ship appear to my side almost
gave me a heart-attack. It passed our bow with only 0.2 miles to
spare. Heng the officer decided to reverse. If we try to chiong
like Courageous that time is bao si one.
