🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Navigation Rules – Sound Signals near locks and dams • Special sound signal patterns used to request lockage versus communicate maneuvering intentions • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers / 33 CFR requirements for towboats approaching locks

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which of these signals is associated with a vessel requesting a double lockage rather than just normal meeting/overtaking maneuvers? • Think about the typical pattern: when you see one long blast combined with short blasts, what does that usually indicate in maneuvering rules—and is this question about maneuvering or about lockage requests? • Consider how mariners and lock operators avoid confusion: would they use a signal that is easily confused with standard crossing or overtaking signals, or a distinct pattern reserved for lock operations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 33 CFR or lock regulations which specific sound signal pattern is defined for a double lockage request. • Make sure you distinguish between signals used for overtaking / meeting (Navigation Rules) and those used for locks and dams (CFR/Corps bulletins). • Check that the signal pattern (order and number of long vs. short blasts) is unique enough that it won’t be confused with common passing signals.
