Q

INLAND ONLY What whistle signal would a power-driven vessel overtaking another in a narrow channel, and wishing to pass on the other vessel's port side sound?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 34 – Maneuvering and Warning Signals (INLAND), especially subsection on overtaking in narrow channels • Difference between Inland whistle signals and International whistle signals for overtaking • Meaning of one short blast vs two short blasts when a vessel states its intention to pass on a particular side

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Under the INLAND Rules, which signal is used to say, “I intend to overtake you on your PORT side” in a narrow channel? • Think about which signals with prolonged blasts are associated with International overtaking situations, and which are not used under Inland for this purpose. • Recall that in Inland rules, the overtaking vessel tells the side it wants to pass on using only short blasts; which pattern corresponds to the PORT side?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that the question specifies INLAND ONLY and narrow channel (that changes which rule subsection applies). • Eliminate any options that use prolonged blasts if they are not part of the Inland narrow-channel overtaking signals. • Match the correct number of short blasts with the side of the vessel being used for passing: starboard vs port.
