BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which signal shall a vessel towing in fog required to sound?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 35 - Sound signals in restricted visibility • Different sound signals for power-driven vessels underway, towing vessels, and vessels at anchor • Timing of fog signals (every 2 minutes vs 1 minute)

💭 Think About

• First, recall the basic fog signal for a power-driven vessel making way, then think about how a towing vessel’s signal differs from that. • Ask yourself: which choice includes both a prolonged and short blast pattern commonly associated with special conditions (like towing, NUC, constrained, etc.)? • Compare which options match the standard interval for restricted visibility signals under the Rules.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 35 what sound pattern is specified for a power-driven vessel underway but not making way versus one that is making way. • Check exactly what additional blasts (if any) are added for a towing vessel compared with a normal power-driven vessel. • Confirm that the interval for these restricted visibility signals is not less than 2 minutes, and eliminate any answer that doesn’t match that.
