🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 34 – Maneuvering and Warning Signals (International & Inland) • The required sound signal when visibility of oncoming traffic is restricted by a bend or obstruction • Difference between signals used for maneuvering (like altering course) vs. signals used for warning/indicating presence

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which of these signals is associated with a vessel’s normal presence when approaching a bend where another vessel may be hidden? • Which signals in the choices are normally used to indicate a specific maneuver (like altering course or operating astern propulsion)? • Which signal in the Navigation Rules is specifically mentioned for a vessel nearing an obstructed bend in a channel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check Rule 34(e) in the Navigation Rules for the exact signal required when nearing a bend or area of a channel where other vessels may be obscured by an intervening obstruction. • Verify which blast pattern in the options is associated with course alterations to port or starboard and which is associated with astern propulsion—those are NOT for this situation. • Confirm that five or more short blasts is defined as the “danger signal” and determine if this situation is inherently a danger situation or a standard precautionary one.
