🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 19 – Conduct of vessels in restricted visibility (Navigation Rules) • Difference between “safe speed” in fog and additional action when there is danger of collision • Specific wording in the Rules about speed when a fog signal is heard apparently forward of the beam

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: When you already are at a safe speed, what extra step do the Rules specifically require if you hear a fog signal ahead and there is danger of collision? • Which option best matches the exact language of Rule 19 about how much you should reduce speed? • Is the Rule telling you to completely stop, or to reduce speed to a particular condition related to still keeping control of the vessel’s heading?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up the exact text of Rule 19(e) in the Navigation Rules and match the wording to one of the choices. • Verify whether the Rule says you must stop engines, or instead reduce speed to a certain minimum condition. • Confirm that the chosen option allows you to both maintain steerage and minimize collision risk as described in the Rule.
