INTERNATIONAL ONLY Which signal may be sounded ONLY by vessels in restricted visibility?
β’ Rule 35 β Sound signals in restricted visibility (International Rules) β’ Difference between maneuvering/warning signals and restricted visibility signals β’ Which signals are used only when you cannot see other vessels (fog, heavy rain, etc.)
β’ First, sort each option into either: maneuvering/whistle warning signal or restricted-visibility fog signal under Rule 35. β’ Ask yourself: which of these signals is associated with a specific type of vessel making way or underway but not making way in fog? β’ Consider whether any of these signals are normally used in clear weather to communicate intentions or doubt about another vesselβs actions.
β’ Verify in Rule 35 which patterns are assigned to power-driven vessels, anchored vessels, or towing vessels in fog. β’ Check Rule 34 (maneuvering and warning signals) to see which of these options are used for altering course, operating astern propulsion, or doubt signals in clear visibility. β’ Make sure the signal you choose is not used anywhere else in the Rules except in restricted visibility.
