🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Navigation Rules for the Great Lakes and Western Rivers regarding meeting situations • Which vessel (upbound or downbound with a following current) has special privileges or responsibilities in a narrow channel or river • How passing agreements by whistle/ sound signals are initiated under the Inland Rules

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: On U.S. rivers and the Great Lakes system, does the vessel going with the current or against the current normally initiate the passing arrangement? Why might that be safer? • Consider what your primary duty is in a meeting situation: Is it to propose a safe arrangement, to wait for the other vessel, or to simply get out of the way? Which matches the Inland Rules for these waters? • Think about how sound signals are used: Who should normally signal first in a meeting situation on inland rivers with current?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what the Inland Rules say about downbound vessels with a following current in meeting and passing situations on rivers and the Great Lakes system • Check which vessel is expected to initiate passing signals in these specific waters • Confirm whether the Rules ever require you to back down just because the other vessel is upbound, or if that is only a maneuver you might use if needed for safety
