🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 17 – Action by Stand-on Vessel in the Navigation Rules • Difference between what the stand-on vessel must do versus what it may do • Meaning of "apparent that the give-way vessel is not taking appropriate action" compared to "collision is imminent"

💭 Think About

• Look at the exact sequence in Rule 17: when is the stand-on vessel required to maintain course and speed, and at what later point is it permitted to maneuver? • Ask yourself: Do the Rules allow the stand-on vessel to act before a collision becomes imminent, or only when danger is extreme? • Which choice best matches the wording that the stand-on vessel may take action when it becomes clear the give-way vessel is failing in its responsibilities?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 17 that the stand-on vessel initially shall keep her course and speed. • Look for the point where the word changes from shall to may for the stand-on vessel’s actions. • Confirm which option matches the Rule’s condition: "when it becomes apparent that the vessel required to keep out of the way is not taking appropriate action" rather than waiting until collision is imminent.
