INLAND ONLY Which statement is TRUE concerning narrow channels?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Navigation Rules – Narrow Channels (Rule 9) • Special meeting/passing signals and responsibilities on inland waters with current • Which side of a narrow channel vessels are required to keep to (compare inland vs international expectations)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In U.S. inland rivers with a strong current, which vessel (upbound or downbound) normally has the responsibility to propose the manner and place of passage? • Think about narrow channels: Are vessels told to keep to the starboard or the port side of the channel under Inland Rules? • Compare each option to what Rule 9 actually says—does it support all three statements, or only some of them?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Inland Rule 9 – Narrow Channels whether there is a specific requirement about downbound vessels with a following current • Check whether the rule says anything about which vessel initiates sound signals when meeting in a narrow channel with current • Confirm the rule’s wording about which side of the channel a vessel must keep to—port side or starboard side?
