Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND When two vessels are in immediate danger of collision, the stand-on vessel must take which action?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 17 – Action by Stand-on Vessel (International & Inland) • Difference between normal stand‑on duties and what happens in immediate danger of collision • The shared responsibility of both vessels to avoid collision

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Does the stand‑on vessel’s duty change once a collision becomes immediately likely, or does it keep doing the same thing? • Which choice reflects the idea that, at the last moment, safety is more important than strictly following right‑of‑way rules? • Which options are clearly unrealistic or not related to the collision‑avoidance rules themselves?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what Rule 17 says the stand‑on vessel shall do when it becomes apparent that the give‑way vessel is not taking appropriate action. • Check which option shows cooperative collision avoidance rather than rigidly insisting on rights or taking extreme actions like abandonment. • Eliminate any answer that ignores the rule that both vessels must act to avoid collision when danger is immediate.
