Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND What is a vessel "restricted in her ability to maneuver"?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 3 – General Definitions in the Navigation Rules • The specific definition of a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver • How this is different from vessel not under command and constrained by her draft

💭 Think About

• Look at which answer choice matches the formal definition found in Rule 3, rather than just a common-sense idea of limited maneuverability. • Ask yourself: which option describes a vessel whose work or nature of her operation is making it hard to maneuver, not just environmental conditions? • Compare how the Rules separately define constrained by her draft, not under command, and restricted in ability to maneuver—are they interchangeable or distinct categories?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 3 that restricted in her ability to maneuver is a defined term with specific wording. • Check whether constrained by her draft and not under command are listed as separate definitions from restricted in her ability to maneuver. • Confirm which option best fits the idea that the vessel’s own operations (like servicing aids to navigation, dredging, etc.) prevent her from keeping out of the way of other vessels.
