Question 919 Rules of the Road
90% to passBOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel would sound a fog signal consisting of the ringing of a bell for 5 seconds?
A
A vessel engaged in fishing, at anchor
B
A sailing vessel becalmed
C
A vessel restricted in its ability to maneuver, at anchor
D
A sailing vessel, at anchor
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) A sailing vessel, at anchor. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), a sailing vessel at anchor is required to sound a fog signal consisting of the ringing of a bell for 5 seconds. This is specified in Rule 35(c) of the COLREGS. The other options are incorrect because: A) A vessel engaged in fishing, at anchor is not required to sound a bell fog signal; B) A sailing vessel becalmed does not fall under the "at anchor" requirement; and C) A vessel restricted in its ability to maneuver, at anchor would sound a different fog signal, not the ringing of a bell.
