🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Rule 34 – Maneuvering and Warning Signals (one short blast for an intended passing on a particular side) • Overtaking situation – Rule 13 (which vessel is being overtaken and which is the stand-on vessel) • Duties of the stand-on vessel once a passing agreement is made

💭 Think About

• In the illustration, decide clearly which vessel is overtaking and which vessel is being overtaken. How does that affect who is stand-on and who is give-way? • Under the Inland Rules, after both vessels exchange one-blast signals agreeing to a starboard-side passing, what is the primary responsibility of the vessel being overtaken? • Would changing your speed or course after agreeing to the passing make it easier or harder for the overtaking vessel to complete the maneuver safely?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that vessel B is the overtaking (give-way) vessel and vessel A is the vessel being overtaken (stand-on). • Review what Rule 13 and Rule 17 say the stand-on vessel must do in an overtaking situation once a passing arrangement is agreed. • Before choosing, ask: does this option keep my movement predictable for the overtaking vessel, or introduce new variables (speed or course changes) that could create confusion?
