BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which is TRUE of a power-driven stand-on vessel?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 17 – Action by Stand-on Vessel in the Navigation Rules • Difference between stand-on vessel and give-way vessel in crossing and meeting situations • What a stand-on vessel must do first vs what it may do if risk of collision increases

💭 Think About

• In a normal crossing situation, before there is clear risk of collision, what is the primary duty of the stand-on vessel regarding her course and speed? • If the give-way vessel is not taking appropriate action and risk of collision develops, what additional actions is the stand-on vessel then allowed (or required) to take? • Does being the stand-on vessel ever mean you can maneuver any way you wish, or still only within the rules to avoid collision?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what Rule 17 says the stand-on vessel shall do with her course and speed when the other vessel is taking proper action. • Check what Rule 17 allows the stand-on vessel to do when it becomes apparent that the give-way vessel is not taking appropriate action. • Eliminate any option that suggests the stand-on vessel has absolute “right of way” or can ignore her duty to avoid collision.
