🔍 Key Concepts

• Sound signals in restricted visibility (fog) for vessels at anchor and aground – Navigation Rules, Rule 35 • Difference between a vessel at anchor and a vessel aground in the sound signal rules • How the bell signal changes when a vessel at anchor is also aground or over 100 meters in length

💭 Think About

• First, recall the basic bell signal that any vessel at anchor must sound in fog. What is that pattern by itself? • Now think: what extra bell or gong elements are added for a vessel over 100 meters at anchor, and what different pattern is used to show that the vessel is aground? • Look at the pattern in the question: three strokes, rapid ringing, three strokes. Which specific status (anchor vs aground, length, or special condition) does that pattern identify in Rule 35?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 35 – Sound Signals in Restricted Visibility the exact wording for vessels at anchor and vessels aground • Check carefully which condition adds three distinct strokes before and after the rapid ringing of the bell • Confirm whether the rule uses this pattern for all vessels at anchor, only vessels over 100 meters, or vessels aground
