🔍 Key Concepts

• Risk of collision as described in Rule 7 – Risk of Collision • Meaning of a constant compass bearing to another vessel as distance decreases • Difference between stand-on/give-way status and simple collision risk assessment

💭 Think About

• If another vessel’s bearing stays the same on your compass while the range is decreasing, what does that normally mean about your relative tracks? • Does a vessel being dead in the water (not making way) automatically make her bearing stay constant, or could her bearing still change as you pass? • Is being the stand-on vessel something you decide from the bearing alone, or from the overall crossing/meeting/overtaking situation and relative headings?

✅ Before You Answer

• Re‑read Rule 7 – Risk of Collision and look for language about constant bearing, decreasing range • Ask yourself whether any of the options confuse right-of-way (stand-on) with simple collision risk indication • Consider whether a vessel’s engine status or motion through the water is directly observable just from a steady compass bearing.
