Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which statement is TRUE concerning fog signals?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Sound signals in restricted visibility (fog signals) under the Navigation Rules, Part D • Special fog signals for vessels aground, towing, and not under command • Additional identity signals (like pilot vessels) versus the basic required fog signals

💭 Think About

• Compare what a vessel not under command and a vessel being towed are each required to sound in fog; are they really identical? • For a vessel aground, think: does it use only bell/gong, or does it also use the whistle in some pattern? • For a pilot vessel, does it sound only its identity signal, or does it also have to comply with the general fog signal rules for a power‑driven vessel underway?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the time interval required between fog signals for sailing vessels (is it exactly one minute, or "not more than two minutes"?). • Check the rule section on vessels aground and see whether a whistle signal is mentioned there in addition to bell/gong signals. • Confirm whether an engaged pilot vessel in fog must still sound the ordinary fog signal for a power‑driven vessel underway, in addition to its identity signal.
