BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND All of the following vessels are "restricted in their ability to maneuver" EXCEPT a vessel __________.
β’ Rule 3(g) β Restricted in her ability to maneuver (RAM) definition in the Navigation Rules β’ How a vessel not under command (NUC) is defined differently from RAM in Rule 3(f) β’ Examples listed in Rule 3(g): dredging, surveying, underwater operations, laying/cable work, mineclearance, launching/recovering aircraft, etc.
β’ Which of these options describes a vessel whose work or nature of operations prevents her from keeping out of the way of other vessels as required? β’ Which option describes a vessel whose condition, rather than her work, prevents her from maneuvering? β’ Look at the exact wording of Rule 3(f) and 3(g): which one is specifically listed as a separate category from Restricted in Ability to Maneuver?
β’ Review the exact definition of "vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver" in Rule 3(g) and note the examples given there. β’ Compare that to the definition of vessel not under command in Rule 3(f) and ask: is NUC included inside RAM or treated as its own category? β’ Check which of the answer choices is explicitly named in the RAM examples in Rule 3(g) and which is not.
