🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Rules – Narrow Channels (Rule 9), especially the paragraph about the downbound vessel with a following current on the Great Lakes and Western Rivers • The ideas of proposing the manner of passage and initiating maneuvering signals when vessels are meeting head‑on in a narrow channel • Which vessel is effectively the stand-on vessel in a strong current: the one going with the current (downbound) or against it (upbound)?

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In a narrow channel with current, which vessel has less control over its speed and stopping distance, and how do the rules compensate for that? • When the rules talk about the downbound vessel on the Great Lakes and Western Rivers, do they only mention signals, only passage, or do they give that vessel a preferred status in more than one way? • Look closely at Rule 9 (Inland). Does it say the downbound vessel "shall" take one, two, or all of the actions listed in the answer choices?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Inland Rule 9 the exact wording about the downbound vessel with a following current in a narrow channel on the Great Lakes/Western Rivers. • Check whether the rule uses mandatory language like "shall propose**" or "shall initiate signals" for the downbound vessel. • Confirm whether that same paragraph effectively gives the downbound vessel the right of way / stand-on status over the upbound vessel.
