BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND By definition...

🔍 Key Concepts

• Review the formal COLREGS/Navigation Rules definitions of vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver, vessel engaged in fishing, vessel towing, and sailing vessel • Pay attention to the exact phrase "unable to keep out of the way of another vessel" in the definitions section (Rule 3) • Remember that some vessels may have limited maneuverability, but only one category is defined specifically in terms of their ability to maneuver as required by the Rules

💭 Think About

• Which of these vessel types is defined mainly by the nature of the work it is doing that restricts its movements, rather than just its means of propulsion? • Look in Rule 3: which definition explicitly mentions that the vessel cannot maneuver as required by the Rules because of the nature of her work? • Ask yourself: is a sailing vessel or a towing vessel always unable to keep out of the way, or only sometimes limited? Which one has a definition that directly matches the wording of the question?
