某日深夜，一艘5000标准箱的集装箱船从新加坡驶往中国上海，船舶被设定为自动驾驶，朝着既定东北方向航行。船舶航速20节。午夜时分，船长写完夜航命令后回房间睡觉。在夜航命令中他强调：船舶需要明早某个时间到达引航员登轮点，准时到达很重要。该位置位于中国东部海岸外围，是有名的渔船密集海域，但这一情况并没有在开航要点中讨论，也没有在夜航命令中提及。

Case study : Collision with fishing vessel
Late one evening a 5,000 teu box ship was on a passage from Singapore to Shanghai, China using autopilot-controlled headings to follow a planned NE track. The vessel’s speed was 20kts. At midnight, the master finished writing his night orders and went to bed in his cabin. In the orders he emphasized the importance of reaching the pilot boarding ground at a fixed time next morning. The areas off the eastern coast of China are well known for the congestion of fishing boats, although this was not discussed in the pre-departure brief nor mentioned in the night orders.
