🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 9 – Narrow Channels in the Navigation Rules • Priority and obligations of a vessel engaged in fishing in a narrow channel • Meaning of “shall not impede the passage of a vessel which can safely navigate only within a narrow channel or fairway”

💭 Think About

• In a narrow channel, which vessel has the special duty not to impede another vessel that can safely navigate only within the channel? • Does a vessel have to sound danger signals or display Restricted in Ability to Maneuver (RAM) shapes automatically in this situation, or only under specific conditions? • How does the status of being engaged in fishing affect obligations when meeting another vessel that is constrained to the channel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up the exact wording of Rule 9 (Narrow Channels) regarding vessels engaged in fishing and vessels that can only safely navigate within the channel. • Confirm what conditions are required before a vessel may display RAM signals and whether simple use of a narrow channel meets that definition. • Verify whether the Rules ever require both vessels to move to the same side of the channel in a head‑on or meeting situation, or whether this is handled differently.
