Q

Towboats regularly navigating the Ohio and Mississippi rivers above Cairo, Illinois, and their tributaries, shall at all times have on board a copy of which publication?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland river towing regulations specific to the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and their tributaries • The purpose and typical content of Sailing Directions, Tide Tables, U.S. Coast Pilot, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Blue Book • Which agency (NOAA vs. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) is responsible for river navigation regulations on the inland waterways

💭 Think About

• Think about which publication would contain mandatory navigation regulations and procedures for towboats on U.S. inland rivers, not ocean or coastal areas • Consider which of the four options is most closely associated with deep‑draft ocean/coastal navigation versus inland river navigation with locks and dams • Ask yourself: Which publication would a towboat captain use to understand lock operations, river rules, and river-specific requirements on the Ohio and Mississippi?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which of the four choices is produced by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for inland rivers • Eliminate any publications that primarily cover oceans, coastal pilots, or tides in coastal waters, rather than inland rivers • Confirm which choice is commonly known by mariners as the "Blue Book" that covers navigation regulations on the inland river system
