🔍 Key Concepts

• Look up the definition of breadth in the Navigation Rules, Rule 3 – Definitions • Notice which arrows span the greatest width of the vessel as seen in the cross‑section • Think about whether breadth is measured at the waterline only or as the vessel’s maximum width anywhere on the hull

💭 Think About

• Which labeled distance (A, B, C, or D) actually covers the maximum horizontal distance from one side of the vessel to the other? • Does the Rules’ definition of breadth care about whether the ship is at the load waterline, light waterline, or any particular draft, or only about the overall widest point? • In the illustration, which dimension includes the outermost points that would determine sidelights/visibility sectors, and which dimensions are clearly partial or inside the hull?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact wording of “breadth” in Rule 3 of the Navigation Rules (COLREGS/Inland) • Check which arrow corresponds to the full outside‑to‑outside width of the vessel’s hull or structure, not just the deck or an internal portion • Confirm that the distance you select is a horizontal measurement of maximum width, not a vertical or draft‑dependent measurement
