🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 34(c) – International sound signals in narrow channels for overtaking • Difference between International and Inland maneuvering/overtaking signals • How sound signals change when intending to pass on the port side versus the starboard side of another vessel

💭 Think About

• First, recall which rule covers overtaking signals specifically in narrow channels under the International Rules, and how many prolonged blasts those signals begin with. • Ask yourself: for International narrow-channel overtaking, do you start with prolonged blasts, short blasts, or a mix, and how does the pattern change when you want to pass on the other vessel’s port side? • Compare each choice to the standard International narrow-channel overtaking patterns: which option matches the pattern for ‘I intend to overtake you on your port side’?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that the correct signal for this situation begins with the correct number of prolonged blasts under International Rule 34(c). • Eliminate any options that are used for ordinary maneuvering in open water (port/starboard turns) rather than narrow-channel overtaking. • Double-check that the pattern you choose is the one that indicates overtaking on the other vessel’s port side, not starboard side.
