🔍 Key Concepts

• INLAND Rules – Rule 34 (Maneuvering and Warning Signals) • Difference between International and Inland meanings of one short blast in a meeting situation • What a meeting/head‑on situation means for how vessels plan to pass (port-to-port vs starboard-to-starboard)

💭 Think About

• Look closely at the relative motion in the diagram: are the vessels in a crossing, overtaking, or true head‑on/meeting situation? How are they expected to pass? • Under INLAND rules, does one short blast describe a helm movement (turning the wheel) or an intended passing arrangement relative to the other vessel? • If two vessels are meeting nearly head‑on on a river, what sound signal would you use to tell the other vessel on which SIDE you plan to pass?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that the question says INLAND ONLY, not International – the meaning of one short blast is different. • Confirm from Rule 34 that, INLAND, one short blast states your intention of passing relative to the other vessel (which side you will leave them on). • Match the correct choice to a statement that clearly describes the passing side/relative position, not just "altering course" in a generic way.
