🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 14 – Head-on Situation of the Navigation Rules (COLREGS) • Difference between required sound signals and required maneuvering actions • Standard convention for avoiding collision between power-driven vessels on reciprocal or nearly reciprocal courses

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In a clear head-on situation between two power-driven vessels, what is the standard, default maneuver each vessel is expected to make? • Consider which options describe an action that both vessels can safely and predictably take at the same time to pass each other port‑to‑port. • Think about when five short blasts are required – is it a normal collision-avoidance maneuver, or a signal of doubt about another vessel’s intentions or actions?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check Rule 14 to see what it specifically requires each vessel to do in a head-on situation. • Verify whether the Rules ever require both vessels to stop engines in a standard meeting situation, or if that is more of an emergency/last-resort action. • Confirm that the correct choice reflects a clear, positive, and standardized maneuver that can be anticipated by the other vessel.
