BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND In reduced visibility, you hear two prolonged blasts of a whistle. This signal is sounded by which vessel?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 35 – Sound Signals in Restricted Visibility (Navigation Rules) • Difference between a vessel making way and a vessel underway but not making way • Meaning of a prolonged blast versus short blasts in fog signals

💭 Think About

• First, recall which type of vessel uses ONLY prolonged blasts in restricted visibility, and how the number of prolonged blasts changes with its movement status. • Think about whether the signal in the question is used by vessels at anchor or only by vessels that are underway. • For each answer choice, ask: Is this vessel underway? Is it making way through the water? Or is it at anchor? Then match that status to the correct Rule 35 signal.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 35 which vessel gives two prolonged blasts every 2 minutes. • Check carefully whether vessels at anchor use prolonged blasts alone, or a different combination of bell/gong/whistle signals. • Confirm the exact signal for a power-driven vessel underway and making way versus underway but not making way and compare it to the question.
