Both Xin Nan Tai and Jakarta breached COLREGS and contributed to the 1st collision, but Xin Nan Tai was principally at fault for creating a close-quarters situation by failing to give way, failing proper lookout and making an inadequate late 10° alteration; Jakarta breached duties by inadequate lookout, excessive speed and improper port alterations but those faults were less causatively potent. Apportionment for both collisions is 80% Xin Nan Tai : 20% Jakarta; for the 2nd collision the parties agreed Singapore 5% and Xin Nan Tai and Jakarta 95% between them in the same 80:20 ratio.
