Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which statement is TRUE concerning the danger signal?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Navigation Rule 34 (Manoeuvring and Warning Signals) • Meaning of the danger signal versus a distress signal • Who may sound the danger signal in a meeting, crossing, or overtaking situation

💭 Think About

• Look at the exact definition of the danger signal in Rule 34 — how many blasts, and how are they described? • Ask yourself: is the danger signal restricted to one vessel’s role (stand-on or give-way), or can either vessel use it? • Consider whether a distress signal like a flare or SOS can legally substitute for the danger signal in a close-quarters situation.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the number and character of blasts specified for the danger signal in Rule 34(d). • Confirm whether any vessel that is in doubt about the other’s intentions may sound this signal. • Make sure you do not confuse danger signals (manoeuvring/warning) with distress signals (vessel in grave and imminent danger).
