🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 13 – Overtaking Situation in the Navigation Rules • Definition of stand-on vessel vs give-way vessel • Old terminology of burdened and privileged vessels and how it relates to stand-on/give-way

💭 Think About

• In an overtaking situation, which vessel is approaching from a direction more than 22.5° abaft the other vessel’s beam, based on the illustration? • According to Rule 13, which vessel must keep out of the way, and which vessel should maintain course and speed as far as possible? • If you replaced the words “stand-on” and “give-way” with the older terms “privileged” and “burdened,” how would that change the answer choices?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm from Rule 13 which vessel has the duty to keep clear in all overtaking situations, regardless of which side it is overtaking on • Make sure you correctly match give-way vs stand-on to the vessels’ responsibilities (who maneuvers vs who maintains course and speed) • Verify whether the term burdened vessel correctly applies to the same vessel as the modern term give-way vessel before picking between the options
