🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR Part 26 – Vessel Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone (Applicability section) • Difference between length (feet/meters) and gross tonnage (GT) in the rule • Meaning of "while navigating" versus being anchored or moored

💭 Think About

• Look at which choices describe a vessel that is actually navigating, not anchored or tied up • Check whether the rule applies based on length of the towing vessel rather than gross tons alone • Think about whether a towboat that is pushing ahead is considered a towing vessel under this Act

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 33 CFR 26.03 (Applicability) what minimum length of a towing vessel is covered • Confirm whether the Act applies only when the vessel is navigating, not when anchored or moored • Check if gross tonnage alone (GT) is enough, or if the vessel must also meet a length and service (towing/passenger) requirement
