🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Narrow Channel passing signals for overtaking (one short vs. two short blasts) • Meaning of five short and rapid blasts under the Navigation Rules • Responsibility when the vessel being overtaken indicates doubt or danger

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: What does it mean when the other vessel responds with five short blasts instead of repeating your overtaking signal? • Consider: Is the vessel being overtaken clearly agreeing, or is it signaling that something is wrong or unsafe? • Think about: When there is doubt or danger in an overtaking maneuver, which action best reduces risk immediately?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact meaning of five short and rapid blasts in the Inland Navigation Rules • Check who controls the maneuver in a narrow channel overtaking situation: the vessel overtaking or the vessel being overtaken • Confirm which option most clearly reduces speed and risk until communication or agreement is re‑established
