🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 18 – Responsibilities between vessels (power-driven vs. vessels with special status) • The priority order of vessels: not under command, restricted in ability to maneuver, constrained by draft, fishing, sailing, then power-driven • Meaning of each term: not under command, restricted in ability to maneuver, engaged in fishing

💭 Think About

• Think about where a normal power-driven vessel fits in the pecking order compared to vessels that have limited ability to keep out of the way. • Ask yourself which of the listed vessels has less freedom to maneuver than an ordinary power-driven vessel. • Consider whether Rule 18 talks about just one special type of vessel, or a group of them that a power-driven vessel must usually avoid.

✅ Before You Answer

• Review the exact wording of Rule 18 – Responsibilities between vessels in the Navigation Rules. • Verify the definitions in Rule 3 for: vessel not under command, vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver, and vessel engaged in fishing. • Confirm which of these are specifically listed as vessels that an ordinary power-driven vessel underway must keep clear of.
