BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND When underway in a channel, which action should you take, if it is safe and practicable?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Narrow Channels Rule (Rule 9) of the Navigation Rules • The usual side of the channel vessels use when proceeding in the general direction of traffic • Difference between where you position your vessel vs. sound/whistle signal requirements

💭 Think About

• Think about what the Narrow Channels Rule tells you about which side of the channel to navigate on when it is safe and practicable. • Ask yourself: In real life, where do most power-driven vessels normally keep when they are going along a defined channel, similar to how cars use a road? • Which choice describes a general navigation practice in a channel, rather than a communication or meeting/overtaking procedure?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option directly reflects the wording and intent of Rule 9 (Narrow Channels). • Check that the option you choose is about where to place your vessel in the channel, not about sound signals or relative position to another vessel. • Eliminate any option that describes a practice that only applies in special situations (like meeting or exchanging signals), instead of a continuous practice while proceeding in a channel.
