🔍 Key Concepts

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: On Western Rivers, which vessel (upbound or downbound with a following current) is given special status in a meeting situation? • Is that special status tied to being power-driven, having a tow, or does it apply more broadly? • Who is expected to sound the initial whistle signal to propose how the vessels will pass?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check whether the rule talks about a vessel being downbound with a following current as the key condition, not just "power-driven" or "towing". • Verify which vessel is supposed to propose the manner of passage by whistle on Western Rivers. • Confirm whether the term used in the rule is "right-of-way" of the downbound vessel, and whether any extra conditions (like type of vessel or having a tow) are mentioned.
