🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Navigation Rules – Western Rivers special rules (look at the section on vessels crossing a river) • The relative maneuverability and stopping power of towing vessels versus a single power-driven vessel • Which vessel is already committed to the channel and has fewer safe options to alter course or speed

💭 Think About

• When a vessel is crossing the river, how does its movement cut across the path of vessels going upbound (ascending) or downbound (descending) in the channel? • Between a light power-driven vessel and one with a tow, which will usually have more difficulty stopping, turning, or getting out of the way safely? • Does the rule distinguish between ascending vs. descending traffic, or between with tow vs. without tow, or both?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the Western Rivers section which vessel is required to keep out of the way in a crossing-a-river situation • Check whether the rule mentions tows specifically, or whether it applies to all power-driven vessels following the river up or down • Confirm if there is any special priority given to downbound vessels with a following current on Western Rivers
