BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND While underway and making way your vessel enters fog. Which fog signal should you sound every two minutes?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 35 – Sound Signals in Restricted Visibility of the Navigation Rules • Difference between a vessel making way and a vessel stopped in the water • Standard fog signals for power-driven vessels versus other vessel types (e.g., not under command, restricted in ability to maneuver)

💭 Think About

• First, decide what type of vessel the question is talking about and whether it is moving through the water or stopped. How does that affect the signal? • Look up Rule 35 and compare the required signals for (1) a power-driven vessel making way, and (2) a power-driven vessel underway but not making way. Which description matches this question? • Consider which options contain only prolonged blasts versus combinations with short blasts. What do prolonged vs. short blasts generally indicate in restricted visibility?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify under Rule 35 what sound is required for a power-driven vessel making way in fog, and how often it must be sounded. • Make sure the signal you choose does not correspond to a special condition (such as vessel at anchor, aground, or restricted in ability to maneuver) that is not mentioned in the question. • Check that the required interval in the rule (in minutes) matches the interval stated in the question (every two minutes).
