Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND When two power-driven vessels are crossing, the vessel which has the other to starboard must keep out of the way if __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 15 – Crossing Situation (Navigation Rules: power-driven vessels crossing) • Meaning of risk of collision under the Rules (see Rule 7) • Which vessel becomes the give-way vessel in a crossing situation

💭 Think About

• In a crossing situation, which side must you see the other vessel on for you to become the give-way vessel? Port or starboard? • Under the Rules, what specific condition must exist before any obligation to maneuver actually applies? Think about when the Rules say you must act. • Do factors like distance, speed, or sound signals by themselves create a legal duty to keep out of the way, or is there a more basic trigger in the Rules?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check what Rule 15 – Crossing Situations actually says about which vessel shall keep out of the way and under what condition. • Verify in Rule 7 – Risk of Collision how you decide whether a risk of collision exists (bearing, distance, and time). • Make sure the choice you pick matches the exact trigger condition the Rules use, not extra details like speed, whistles, or arbitrary distances.
