This study describes a result of a survey about understanding marine traffic laws and actions that are taken by small craft navigators. The survey asked small craft navigators what they take into consideration while steering, as well as what they feel about maritime traffic laws. Three points were investigated. The results of the survey showed that small craft navigators don't completely understand marine traffic laws. Therefore there is a possibility that they navigate with a misunderstanding of marine traffic laws. When small craft navigators make avoidance maneuvers among ships, they avoid them at a distance that is shorter than the distance required by ship. It was supposed that how small craft navigators avoid ships at a shorter distance was what made ship navigators uneasy. Furthermore, the survey showed that small craft navigators tend to hesitate when making avoidance maneuvers. Consequently, in order to solve this problem, this study suggests a "special rule" that demonstrates marine traffic laws more simply and easier than existing traffic rules. This "special rule" expects small crafts to take the lead in ship-avoidance maneuvers. In addition, 80% of the surveyed small craft navigators were in agreement with the idea of implementing a "special rule."
