BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND What is TRUE when operating in fog and other vessels are detected by radar?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 19 – Conduct of vessels in restricted visibility (Navigation Rules) • Use of radar to assess risk of collision and close-quarters situations • Recommended types of avoiding action when you detect another vessel by radar alone

💭 Think About

• Which option best matches the general duty in fog: to proceed at a safe speed and take early, substantial action to avoid close-quarters situations? • Think about whether radar can always see every target within range, or if there are limitations (sea clutter, blind sectors, small targets). • Recall what Rule 19 says about making course alterations to port for a vessel forward of the beam when you only have radar information.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice reflects early and ample action to avoid close-quarters situations detected by radar. • Check whether any option wrongly assumes radar is infallible and detects all vessels within range. • Check Rule 19 to see what it says about altering course to port for a vessel detected by radar forward of the beam and whether that is recommended or discouraged.
