Question 1 of 27070

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel should not impede the navigation of a power-driven vessel?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 10 – Traffic Separation Schemes and the phrase "shall not impede the safe passage" • The usual pecking order in Rule 18 – Responsibilities Between Vessels • How the status of a power‑driven vessel following a traffic lane changes other vessels’ obligations

💭 Think About

• Think about which of these four is normally required to keep clear of a power‑driven vessel, and which ones normally have priority over a power‑driven vessel. • Ask yourself: In a traffic separation scheme, which type of vessel is specifically told not to impede a power‑driven vessel that is properly using the lane? • Eliminate any vessel type that, under Rule 18, a power‑driven vessel is normally required to keep clear of.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 18 which vessels a power‑driven vessel must keep out of the way of (e.g., vessel not under command, vessel engaged in fishing). • Check Rule 10 for the exact wording about vessels that "shall not impede the safe passage of a power‑driven vessel following a traffic lane." • Confirm which option matches that description and is not one of the vessels that normally has priority over a power‑driven vessel.
