Question 1 of 27070

INLAND ONLY You are crossing the course of another vessel which is to your starboard. You have reached an agreement by radiotelephone to pass astern of the other vessel. You MUST __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• INLAND Navigation Rules – Rule 34 (Manoeuvring and Warning Signals) • Difference between whistle signals and radiotelephone agreements under the Inland Rules • Responsibility of the give-way vessel in a crossing situation (Rule 15) when an alternate passing arrangement is made

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In Inland waters, when you make a passing agreement by VHF radio, are you REQUIRED to back it up with whistle signals, or can the radio agreement replace them? • Consider whether the rules ever require you to change course to starboard when you have already agreed to pass astern, or if that would conflict with the agreement. • Think about which vessel you are in this scenario (stand-on or give-way), and what your primary obligation is once a safe passing arrangement is agreed upon.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what Rule 34 (Inland) says about how radiotelephone agreements relate to sound signals. • Check whether the Inland Rules state that certain whistle signals are mandatory after a radio agreement, or if they say whistle signals are not required in that case. • Confirm if there is any rule that forces you to make a specific course alteration (like to starboard) after agreeing to pass astern, or if the key requirement is simply to follow the agreed safe passing arrangement.
