Q

INLAND ONLY Vessels engaged in fishing may show the additional signals as described in Rule 26 when they are in which of the following situations?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 26 – Fishing Vessels (INLAND) and what “additional signals” refers to • Definition of a vessel engaged in fishing and what types of fishing are specifically excluded (e.g., trolling) • When extra/optional signals are allowed based on the situation, not just the location (TSS, narrow channel, etc.)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Under Rule 26, in what circumstance do fishing vessels need extra ways to identify each other beyond the normal fishing lights and shapes? • Which of these answer choices describes a type of fishing that is NOT considered a “vessel engaged in fishing” under the Rules? • Do the Rules tie these additional signals to a special area (like traffic separation schemes or narrow channels), or to how the fishing vessels are operating relative to each other?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the definition of “vessel engaged in fishing” in Rule 3 and note the example that does NOT qualify. • Check Rule 26 (INLAND) to see when “additional signals” are mentioned and what specific situation they are intended for. • Confirm whether the Rules ever say that these additional signals are limited to traffic separation zones or narrow channels.
