🔍 Key Concepts

• Definition of vessel engaged in fishing in the Navigation Rules (COLREGS) Rule 3 • Difference between fishing as a vessel status and simply catching fish for sport or recreation • What makes fishing gear restrict a vessel’s maneuverability compared to normal operation

💭 Think About

• Look up the formal definition of a vessel "engaged in fishing" and focus on exactly what the rule says must be true about the gear being used • Ask yourself: does the definition mention any specific type of net or a minimum distance the gear must extend from the vessel? • Consider whether a vessel can ever be "engaged in fishing" while not making way through the water, and whether being underway is part of the definition

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact wording of Rule 3(d) – vessel engaged in fishing • Check whether the rule lists any specific gear types or distances (such as seines or 50 meters) as requirements • Confirm whether "engaged in fishing" is about the vessel’s reduced ability to maneuver due to gear, rather than just the activity of catching fish
