🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 15 – Crossing Situation for two power-driven vessels • Effect (or non‑effect) of ‘pushing ahead’ on a vessel’s status under the Rules • Whether wind direction matters for power‑driven vessels (vs. sailing vessels)

💭 Think About

• First decide: are both vessels considered power‑driven under the Rules, even though one is pushing a barge ahead? How does that affect which Rule applies? • Next, imagine being on vessel A: on which side do you see vessel B’s masthead/side lights at night? Then recall which vessel must keep out of the way in that configuration. • Ask yourself if there is any special Rule that says a pushing vessel becomes automatically stand‑on, or if the normal crossing rule still applies.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify under Rule 3 – Definitions that a tug pushing ahead with a barge is still a power‑driven vessel for steering-and-sailing rules. • Check Rule 15 – Crossing Situations: which vessel is the give‑way vessel when two power‑driven vessels are crossing and risk of collision exists? Focus on which side the other vessel is on. • Confirm that wind direction is only relevant to sailing vessels under Rule 12, not to power‑driven vessels, so decide if the wind arrow in the diagram should affect your choice.
