🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 35 – Sound signals in restricted visibility (vessels underway vs. at anchor) • Special additional sound signals allowed for vessels at anchor when they think there is a risk of collision • The order and length of whistle blasts: short vs. prolonged and their sequence

💭 Think About

• First, recall what a vessel at anchor must normally sound in fog. Then think about what extra signal (if any) is permitted when another vessel is getting dangerously close. • Look carefully at the sequence of the blasts in each option: which pattern is specifically mentioned in the Rules as an optional warning from a vessel at anchor? • Ask yourself: Which of these patterns is described in Rule 35 as an additional signal a vessel at anchor may use to indicate its presence when collision danger seems to exist?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 35 what sound a vessel at anchor is required to make in fog as its normal fog signal. • Check whether Rule 35 allows any optional whistle signal in addition to the anchor signal, and if so, note the exact order of short and prolonged blasts. • Make sure the option you choose matches exactly the text of the Rule (same number of blasts, same order, same type: short vs. prolonged).
