INTERNATIONAL ONLY Which vessel is NOT...

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 3(g) – vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver (International & Inland) • The specific list of operations that qualify a vessel as restricted in her ability to maneuver • Difference between restricted in ability to maneuver and constrained by her draft (Rule 3(h), International only)

💭 Think About

• Look up Rule 3(g) and list every type of operation that is explicitly mentioned. Which of the answer choices are on that list? • Compare the definition of restricted in her ability to maneuver with the separate definition of constrained by her draft. Are they the same status under the Rules? • Ask yourself: which choice describes a vessel in a special COLREGS category that is defined in a different paragraph, not under Rule 3(g)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check the exact wording of Rule 3(g) and match it, word‑for‑word, to the scenarios in choices B, C, and D. • Verify that constrained by her draft has its own separate definition in Rule 3 and is not listed under vessels restricted in their ability to maneuver. • Confirm which answer choice describes a vessel that has a distinct status under the Rules, rather than being part of the enumerated list in Rule 3(g).
