🔍 Key Concepts

• Identify the lights: three all-round lights in the vertical line red–white–red indicate a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver (RAM) under Rule 27(b). • Review Rule 9 – Narrow Channels, especially which specific vessel types are told "shall not impede" others in the channel. • Recall which vessel shows the day shape ball–diamond–ball, and which vessel shows two balls as a day shape.

💭 Think About

• Based on the lights shown, what type of vessel is this, and what limitation does it have on altering course or speed? • In a narrow channel, which vessel categories are explicitly required by Rule 9 to not impede other traffic—does that list include RAM vessels? • Does any vessel type that shows these lights automatically become the stand-on vessel in every situation, or is stand-on/give-way decided by the particular encounter (crossing, head-on, overtaking)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be certain you can match red–white–red with the correct vessel type and its day shapes before choosing between options B and D. • Check Rule 9 to see exactly which vessels "shall not impede the passage" of others—compare that wording carefully to choice A. • Remember the general rule for anchoring in narrow channels (Rule 9(g)) when evaluating choice C.
