🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 13 – Overtaking in the Navigation Rules (applies BOTH International & Inland) • Definition of overtaking vessel versus overtaken vessel • Meaning of stand-on vessel and give-way vessel in any encounter

💭 Think About

• Look at the relative motion in the diagram: which vessel is coming up from behind, and which one is being approached? • In an overtaking situation under Rule 13, which vessel must keep clear and maneuver, and which one should maintain course and speed? • Ask yourself: in this picture, is vessel "A" catching up to vessel "B," or is "B" catching up to "A"?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that this is truly an overtaking situation (approaching from more than 22.5 degrees abaft the beam). • Identify which vessel must keep out of the way under Rule 13. • Match that vessel’s responsibility to the correct term in the choices: stand-on, give-way, or overtaken.
