BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which statement is TRUE in an overtaking situation?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 13 – Overtaking in the Navigation Rules • Definition of "overtaking" – relative bearing from dead ahead through the beam • Difference between duties of the overtaking vessel and the vessel being overtaken

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: From what relative direction must a vessel approach another for it to be legally considered overtaking under Rule 13? • Consider which vessel has the responsibility to keep out of the way in an overtaking situation – is it the overtaken vessel or the overtaking vessel? • Think about what happens if the bearing between the vessels later changes after the situation is already established as overtaking – does the give-way/stand-on status change?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check the exact wording of Rule 13(a)-(d) in the Navigation Rules • Verify the definition of an overtaking vessel: what is the required relative bearing sector (in degrees) from the stern? • Confirm which vessel must keep out of the way and whether a later change of bearing can turn an overtaking situation into a crossing situation

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which statement is TRUE in an overtaking situation?

It is the duty of the vessel being overtaken to get out of the way.

An overtaking situation exists when one vessel is approaching another vessel from anywhere abaft the beam.

Any later change of bearing between the two vessels shall not make the overtaking vessel a crossing vessel.

All of the above
