Q

INTERNATIONAL ONLY Which vessel is to keep out of the way of the others?

🔍 Key Concepts

• International Rules – Rule 3 and Rule 18 (Responsibility Between Vessels) • The special status and responsibilities of vessels not under command, restricted in their ability to maneuver, and constrained by draft • Where trawling fits in the pecking order compared to other special-status vessels

💭 Think About

• First, list which of these vessels are considered restricted in their ability to maneuver and which have an even higher priority than that under the International Rules. • Ask yourself: in Rule 18, which categories must other power-driven vessels keep clear of, and which category is actually required to keep clear of others? • Compare the relative status of a vessel constrained by her draft with a vessel not under command and a vessel engaged in underwater operations; who is the most limited, and who is less limited?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check the exact order of precedence in International Rule 18 (Responsibilities between vessels). • Confirm which of the listed vessels are defined as "vessel not under command", "vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver", and "vessel engaged in fishing" under Rule 3. • Verify which one of the answer choices is expected to keep out of the way of all the others according to that precedence.
