Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND What equipment for fog signals is required for a vessel 15 meters in length?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 33 — Equipment for sound signals (International, and Inland at 33 CFR 83.33) • Length thresholds: under 12 meters, 12 meters up to 20 meters, 20 meters up to 100 meters, and 100 meters or more • Which device each threshold adds: whistle, then bell, then gong

💭 Think About

• A 15-meter vessel is at or above which of those thresholds, and below which? • At what length does Rule 33 first require a bell in addition to a whistle? • At what length does a gong become required?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check the exact length Rule 33 attaches to the bell — it is not the same length that attaches to the whistle. • Do not confuse equipment required by Rule 33 with the signals sounded under Rule 35; a vessel under 20 meters is also relieved of the anchor bell signal. • Confirm International and Inland now state the same thresholds.
