Question 1 of 2066636eeb28f7522a1c51bccb

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Two vessels are meeting in a narrow channel as shown in illustration D037RR below. Vessel "A" is a sailing vessel. Vessel "B" is a power-driven vessel which can safely navigate only within the channel. Vessel "B" sounds the danger signal. Vessel "A" shall take what action?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 9 – Narrow Channels: what does it say about vessels that can safely navigate only within a channel versus sailing vessels? • Vessels that shall not impede: which types of vessels have a duty not to impede a vessel constrained to the channel? • Danger signal (Rule 34): what does it mean when a vessel sounds at least five short and rapid blasts?

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: in a narrow channel, does the usual “power gives way to sail” priority still apply when one vessel can only safely navigate inside the channel? • Look at each answer choice and match it to the specific rule it comes from: which one is explicitly stated in Rule 9, which is a meeting/overtaking signal, and which reflects the normal stand‑on vessel duty? • If a vessel constrained to the channel has sounded the danger signal, should the sailing vessel insist on ‘right of way’ or adjust behavior to avoid hampering the other vessel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 9(b) what is required of sailing vessels and vessels under 20 meters in narrow channels. • Confirm what sound signal “one prolonged followed by two short blasts” actually indicates under Rule 34 – is it used in a head‑on meeting situation? • Check which option uses the exact wording from the narrow channel rule about vessels that must not impede another vessel’s passage.
