🔍 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.

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Vessel "A" is underway and pushing ahead when vessel "B" is sighted off the starboard bow as shown in illustration D005RR below. Which statement is TRUE?

Vessel "A" is the stand-on vessel because it is pushing ahead.

Vessel "A" is the stand-on vessel because it is to the port side of vessel "B".

Vessel "B" is the stand-on vessel because it is to starboard of vessel "A".
