Extract

Collisions at sea continue to be in the news, many of them, as usual, inexplicable, navigationally as well as radar-wise (a curious phrase in this context). Little is said about radar in the Press because, no doubt, being complicated and technical to the layman, it is not newsworthy like oil pollution or wreck marking. Were the philosophy of its use more generally understood, the equipment might be better matched to the potential value of radar as an aid to collision avoidance.
