Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Risk of collision exists when an approaching vessel is observed under which situation?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Risk of Collision – Rule 7 (Navigation Rules) • Meaning of constant (steady) bearing vs. changing bearing when another vessel approaches • Relationship between bearing (angle) and range (distance) as two vessels close in

💭 Think About

• If two vessels are on courses that will bring them together, what happens to the bearing of the other vessel as you both move? • In a normal close-quarters encounter where collision risk exists, does the distance between vessels usually increase, decrease, or stay the same? • Which of the answer choices best describes a situation where the other vessel appears to stay in nearly the same direction, but keeps getting closer?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice shows a nearly constant (steady) bearing to the other vessel • Identify which choice shows the range (distance) getting smaller, not larger • Match that combination of steady bearing + closing range to the correct option wording before selecting your answer
