Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which is TRUE if your vessel is the stand-on vessel in a crossing situation?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 17 – Action by Stand-on Vessel (International & Inland Navigation Rules) • Difference between duties of the stand-on vessel and the give-way vessel in a crossing situation • When, if ever, the stand-on vessel is allowed or required to maneuver

💭 Think About

• First decide: in a normal crossing situation, which vessel has the primary duty to maneuver – stand-on or give-way? • Ask yourself: what does Rule 17 say the stand-on vessel shall do, and what may it do only when a risk of collision clearly exists? • Look at each choice and eliminate any option that either ignores the give-way vessel’s duty or lets the stand-on vessel act too freely too soon.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 17 that the stand-on vessel has a clear, default obligation about course and speed. • Check carefully whether Rule 17 allows the stand-on vessel to maneuver at any time, or only when the give-way vessel is not taking appropriate action. • Make sure the statement you pick matches both International and Inland wording for the stand-on vessel in a crossing situation.
