🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 35 – Sound Signals in Restricted Visibility of the Navigation Rules • Difference between a power-driven vessel underway and a vessel engaged in towing • How fog signals change when a vessel is towing versus being towed

💭 Think About

• First, recall the basic fog signal for any power-driven vessel making way, then think about how that signal is modified when the vessel is engaged in towing. • Ask yourself: does towing make the situation more dangerous or complex, and if so, how is that reflected in the number and pattern of blasts? • Compare the options to the standard patterns you’ve memorized for: (1) power-driven underway, (2) towing, and (3) vessels not under command or restricted in ability to maneuver.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 35 which specific pattern is assigned to a vessel engaged in towing, underway, making way. • Check that the signal you choose is distinct from the signal of an ordinary power-driven vessel underway in fog. • Make sure you are not accidentally picking the signal used for a vessel being towed or for a vessel at anchor.
