🔍 Key Concepts

• Sound signals in restricted visibility (fog) under Rule 35 of the Navigation Rules • The difference between anchor signals and underway signals in fog • How vessel length (over/under 100 meters) changes the sound signal required

💭 Think About

• Think about which vessel types use a bell and which also use a gong in fog. What does each instrument normally indicate? • Ask yourself: is this vessel at anchor or underway making way / underway but not making way based on this pattern? • Which choices describe special operations (fishing, trawling, pilotage)** and which describe an ordinary condition that affects many vessels (like length and anchoring)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 35 what sound signal is required for a vessel at anchor over 100 meters in length versus one underway and restricted in ability to maneuver. • Confirm which sound signals are specifically prescribed for fishing vessels, trawlers, and pilot vessels in restricted visibility. • Check carefully whether the rule ties the use of a gong to a particular minimum vessel length or type of operation.
