Question 1 of 27070

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND When is "risk of collision" considered to exist?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 7 – Risk of Collision in the Navigation Rules • What a constant bearing and changing range indicate • The meaning of “if there is any doubt” in the Rules

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself which choice matches the exact wording and intent of Rule 7 about when you must act as if risk of collision exists. • Consider whether risk of collision is limited to a very specific visual condition, or if the Rules require you to assume risk under broader circumstances. • Think about whether the number of vessels or a “special circumstance” is what actually defines risk of collision, or if those are separate concepts.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option reflects the Rule’s emphasis on prudence and doubt about risk of collision. • Check whether the Rules treat steady bearing as the only sign of collision risk, or just one important indicator. • Confirm that “special circumstances” are discussed under a different Rule than “risk of collision.”
