BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND A 200-meter vessel is aground in restricted visibility. Which signal is optional?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 35 – Sound signals in restricted visibility • Special signals for vessels at anchor or aground • Differences between required and optional sound signals

💭 Think About

• First, recall which sound signals are specifically required for a vessel aground over 100 meters in length in restricted visibility. • Think about which instruments (bell, gong, whistle) are mentioned as mandatory and for what purpose (e.g., forepart, after part, at intervals). • Ask yourself: is there any additional signal that the Rules allow the vessel to make but do not strictly require?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify exactly what Rule 35 says about a vessel aground and which signals it shall make. • Check the length requirement (over 100 m) for using a gong in addition to a bell. • Identify any language like "may" (optional) vs "shall" (mandatory) associated with any of the listed signals.
