When can a navigation rule be over locked?

A navigation rule can be overridden in specific situations where safety is at risk or when it is necessary to avoid an imminent collision. For example, if a vessel needs to take evasive action to prevent a maritime accident, it may temporarily disregard certain rules. Additionally, local regulations or specific circumstances, such as limited visibility or unusual navigational hazards, may justify overriding standard navigation rules. However, any deviation should always prioritize safety and be justified by the circumstances at hand.
