Q

INLAND ONLY Which statement is TRUE of a power-driven vessel proceeding downbound with the current, when meeting an upbound vessel on the Western Rivers?

🔍 Key Concepts

• INLAND Navigation Rules special provisions for the Western Rivers • Meaning of a vessel proceeding downbound with a following current • Which vessel normally initiates whistle signals and has the right to propose the passage

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: On the Western Rivers, does the vessel going with the current or against it have priority when meeting? • Which vessel is expected to start the maneuvering signal (one or two short blasts) to indicate the side of passage? • Do the Rules ever require a specific side of passage in all meeting situations, or is that determined by agreement between the vessels?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the Inland Rules section that deals specifically with Western Rivers meeting situations. • Check which vessel (upbound or downbound) is said to have the right-of-way / be favored and to initiate passing arrangements. • Confirm whether the Rules actually state a fixed requirement to always pass on the port side, or if that depends on what is agreed by whistle signals.
