BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND In restricted visibility, a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver, at anchor, would sound which fog signal?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 35 – Sound Signals in Restricted Visibility and how it applies to vessels at anchor • The special status and sound signals for a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver (RAM) • Differences between sound signals for underway, not making way, and at anchor

💭 Think About

• First, decide which rule covers sound signals in fog and then narrow it down to the part that deals with vessels at anchor. • Ask yourself: when a vessel is both RAM and at anchor, does she use the same signal as a normal anchored vessel, or a different pattern that shows her special condition? • Compare the timing and pattern of the options: which signals are used for underway power-driven vessels, which for towing, and which for anchored vessels?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 35 which specific signal is prescribed for vessels at anchor in restricted visibility (note the bell requirement and timing). • Confirm which option, if any, matches the standard anchor signal (pay attention to bell vs. whistle and seconds vs. minutes). • Make sure you are not confusing the maneuvering/fog signals for vessels underway (using prolonged and short blasts) with the signal required for a vessel that is not underway but at anchor.
