Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND The rules require which factor to be taken into account when determining safe speed?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 6 – Safe Speed in the Navigation Rules • Specific factors listed for all vessels vs. additional factors for vessels with operational radar • The difference between what is explicitly required by the rule and what is just good seamanship

💭 Think About

• Look up the exact wording of Rule 6 and list the factors that must be considered for safe speed. Which of the answer choices appears word‑for‑word or very close to that list? • Ask yourself: does Rule 6 ever talk about the crew’s experience or the vessel’s construction, or does it focus on external conditions and detection of other traffic? • For vessels using radar, what does Rule 6 say you must consider about the information radar gives you?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option matches the phrase about vessels detected by radar in Rule 6(b) – not just “using radar,” but what about those contacts must be considered. • Confirm whether crew experience is mentioned anywhere in Rule 6; don’t assume it just because it sounds reasonable. • Check if vessel construction appears in the Rule 6 list, or if the rule instead talks about maneuverability (stopping distance and turning ability) without naming how the ship is built.
