🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of three all-round lights in a vertical line red–white–red under the Navigation Rules (vessel status) • Hierarchy of responsibilities in Rule 18 – Responsibilities between vessels (NUC, RAM, CBD, fishing, sailing, power-driven) • What a vessel "engaged in fishing" must do when encountering a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver

💭 Think About

• First, identify what type of vessel shows three all-round lights red–white–red at night. Is it fishing, not under command, restricted in ability to maneuver, or something else? • Once you know that vessel’s status, place both vessels in the Rule 18 hierarchy: where does a fishing vessel rank compared with that type of vessel? • From that hierarchy, decide which vessel is stand-on and which is give-way in a normal situation without any special circumstances.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the lights section (Annex I / Part C of the Navigation Rules) what red–white–red vertically means, exactly. • Check in Rule 18 – Responsibilities between vessels how a vessel engaged in fishing must behave when meeting a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver. • Confirm that "special circumstances" under Rule 2 – Responsibility are not used just because a vessel has a certain light configuration; they require unusual conditions or dangers.
