INTERNATIONAL ONLY In a narrow channel, an overtaking vessel which intends to pass on the other vessel's port side would sound which signal?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 34 – Maneuvering and Warning Signals (International Rules) • Special narrow channel overtaking signals (different from ordinary meeting/crossing signals) • Difference between normal one‑ or two‑short‑blast signals and signals that begin with prolonged blasts

💭 Think About

• Identify which signals are used specifically for overtaking in a narrow channel, not just any passing situation • Think about why prolonged blasts are added in this case – what extra information do they give compared to simple one‑ or two‑short blasts? • Recall which pattern (how many prolonged, how many short) indicates you want to pass on the port side of the vessel being overtaken

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the signal you pick starts the same way as the standard narrow‑channel overtaking signals in the International Rules • Confirm that the option you’re considering clearly distinguishes port‑side overtaking from starboard‑side overtaking • Verify that the answer you choose is used only in narrow channels for overtaking, not the general crossing/meeting maneuvering signals used in open water
