BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND What is the identity signal which may be sounded by a vessel engaged on pilotage duty in fog?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 35 – Sound signals in restricted visibility (fog signals) • Special identity signals for vessels engaged in pilotage duty • Difference between maneuvering signals (like altering course) and identity signals in fog

💭 Think About

• Is this question asking about a vessel’s course-changing/maneuvering signal, or a special signal to identify the vessel’s type and duty in fog? • Look at Rule 35: which pattern of short blasts is specifically reserved for a pilot vessel on duty in or near an area of restricted visibility? • Compare the number of short blasts used in ordinary maneuvering (like port/starboard/astern) with the special pattern given to pilot vessels.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm in Rule 35 which exact number of short blasts is stated for a vessel engaged on pilotage duty • Make sure you are NOT confusing this with Rule 34 maneuvering and warning signals (1, 2, or 3 blasts for turning/astern) • Verify that this signal is described as an optional identity signal in addition to the normal fog signal for power-driven vessels underway.
