🔍 Key Concepts

• International Rule 34 - Maneuvering and Warning Signals • Difference between one short blast and two short blasts for power-driven vessels in sight of one another • Meaning of signals in terms of course alteration (port vs. starboard) and/or intention relative to the other vessel (port side vs. starboard side)

💭 Think About

• In INTERNATIONAL waters, do short blast whistle signals indicate what you are doing (course change) or how you intend to pass the other vessel? • Think about the standard meanings: what does ONE short blast mean, and how does TWO short blasts logically differ from that? • Are these signals describing rudder movement, direction of turn (port/starboard), or which side you will leave the other vessel on?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm in International Rule 34(a) how many short blasts correspond to an alteration of course to port vs. starboard • Verify whether, in the INTERNATIONAL rules, sound signals are about intended passing arrangement or own ship’s maneuver • Make sure you are not mixing the meanings from the Inland Rules with the International Rules; they are different for maneuvering signals
