Both Xin Nan Tai and Jakarta breached COLREGS and were causes of the collisions, but Xin Nan Tai bore the greater responsibility for creating the close-quarters situation by failing to take early and substantial action and by inadequate lookout; Jakarta also breached lookout and made improper helm orders but was less blameworthy; liability apportioned 80% to Xin Nan Tai and 20% to Jakarta for the 1st collision and the same apportionment applies to the 2nd collision; TS Singapore is 5% liable for the 2nd collision and not liable for the 1st collision as per settlement.
