Question 1 of 27070

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND When two power-driven vessels are crossing, which vessel is the stand-on vessel?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 15 – Crossing Situation from the Navigation Rules • Definition of stand-on vessel vs give-way vessel • Relative position of the other vessel on your starboard or port side

💭 Think About

• Picture yourself on one of the power-driven vessels: where is the other vessel relative to your bow—on your starboard side or your port side? • In a crossing situation, which vessel must keep her course and speed, and which must take early and substantial action to avoid collision? • How do the Navigation Rules treat a vessel that has another vessel on its starboard side in a crossing situation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what Rule 15 – Crossing Situation says about the vessel that has the other on her starboard side. • Confirm which vessel, by definition, is required to keep her course and speed (stand-on) versus alter course and/or speed (give-way). • Make sure you are thinking about a true crossing situation (not overtaking, not head-on) between two power-driven vessels.
