As RIX GULF was outbound and passing Greenock a small white-coloured motor cruiser was seen ahead, travelling inbound in the shipping channel. 

    The Clyde Pilot on the RIX ordered a short loud blast on the ship's horn to warn the cruiser to move out of the way.  A second longer blast on RIX's horn had the desired effect and the motor cruiser changed course out of the path of the cargo ship.
