🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 35 – Sound signals in restricted visibility for power-driven vessels and vessels being towed • Special requirements for vessels being towed versus the towing vessel in fog • Whether unmanned barges in tow are required to sound their own fog signals

💭 Think About

• Think about who is actually responsible for making fog signals in a towing operation: is it the tug, the tow, or both? • Ask yourself: does the rule change when there is more than one vessel in the tow, or when the tow is manned vs. unmanned? • Consider what the rule says about an optional signal a vessel being towed may make, and whether it becomes mandatory for each barge in a multiple tow.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm in Rule 35 what sound signal is specified for a vessel being towed in restricted visibility • Check whether the rule says the towed vessel shall make that signal or may make that signal • Verify if there is any separate requirement that applies to the last vessel in a string of towed barges.
