Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND When does the rule regarding look-outs apply?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 5 – Look-out of the Navigation Rules • The idea of a proper look-out by sight and hearing at all times • Whether the rule is limited to special conditions (like fog, night, traffic) or applies more broadly

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Does Rule 5 say look-outs are only required in certain conditions, or does it use wording like "at all times"? • Think about whether a vessel can safely operate without a look-out in clear weather during the day—does the rule allow that? • Consider if the answer is listing specific cases, or if the rule is meant to cover every situation whenever a vessel is underway.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check the exact wording of Rule 5 – Look-out in the Navigation Rules (look for "Every vessel shall at all times...") • Verify whether the rule mentions restricted visibility, traffic density, or time of day as limits—or as examples only, or not at all • Confirm if the rule’s requirement changes depending on conditions, or if the conditions just change how you keep the look-out, not whether you must keep one
