🔍 Key Concepts

• Review Inland Rule 9 (Narrow Channels), especially the special provisions for the Great Lakes and Western Rivers. • Think about what it means for a vessel to be downbound with a following current versus upbound against the current. • Consider which vessel is expected to propose the manner of passage and sound the maneuvering signals in this specific situation.

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In a narrow channel with current, why might one direction of traffic be given special privileges or responsibilities? • Which vessel, the one moving with the current or against it, is in the better position to control speed and maneuverability, and how does that affect who must "permit safe passage"? • In the Inland Rules on the Great Lakes, which vessel is specifically mentioned as starting the whistle signals for meeting and passing situations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Inland Rule 9 who has the right-of-way in a narrow channel on the Great Lakes when there is a following current. • Confirm which vessel (upbound or downbound) is directed to initiate maneuvering signals in these waters. • Check which vessel is required to take action to allow the other vessel a safe passage once the roles (downbound vs. upbound) are understood.
