🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 15 – Crossing Situations (INLAND): Which vessel is to keep out of the way when two power-driven vessels are crossing? • Rule 17 – Stand‑on Vessel: What is the basic duty of the stand‑on vessel once the give‑way vessel takes proper action? • INLAND Rule 34 – Maneuvering and Warning Signals: What does one short blast mean INLAND, and how should the other vessel respond when in agreement?

💭 Think About

• From the diagram, decide which vessel has the other on her starboard side. That vessel is the give‑way vessel under Rule 15. Which one is that? • Once you know who is stand‑on, ask: if the give‑way vessel sounds one short blast INLAND, what is she saying about her intended maneuver? • If the stand‑on vessel agrees with that intention, what is her proper signal and what should she do with her course and speed under Rule 17?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be certain you know that INLAND one short blast = I intend to leave you on my port side (altering course to starboard), not just a generic turn signal. • Confirm which vessel is stand‑on and which is give‑way in this crossing within 1/2 mile – this determines who maintains course and speed. • Check whether the correct response INLAND, when you agree with another vessel’s maneuvering signal, is to repeat the same signal or to sound the danger signal.
