Question 1 of 27070

Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Risk of collision may exist __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 7 – Risk of Collision (how the rule is worded, especially parts (a) and (d)) • Meaning of “bearing does not appreciably change” vs. “bearing changes but range is very close” • What it means when you see both sidelights of a vessel ahead at night (relative aspect)

💭 Think About

• Look at each choice and ask: Is this situation mentioned or implied in Rule 7 as one where risk of collision should be assumed? • Are any of these options actually quoted or very closely paraphrased from the rule itself? Which ones? • Ask yourself whether these situations can all be true at the same time, or whether one of them contradicts the others.

✅ Before You Answer

• Re-read Rule 7(d)(i) about what happens when the compass bearing does not appreciably change. • Re-read Rule 7(d)(ii) about risk of collision even when bearing changes, especially at close range or with large vessels/tows. • Think about what seeing both sidelights of a vessel tells you about your relative course: are you generally headed toward, away, or across that vessel?
