Question 100Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND A power-driven vessel underway shall keep out of the way of which vessels?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above.
According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) and the Inland Navigation Rules, a power-driven vessel underway must keep out of the way of vessels that are:
1) Restricted in their ability to maneuver
2) Engaged in fishing
3) Not under command
This is because these types of vessels have reduced maneuverability or are unable to readily change course, and thus have the right-of-way over a power-driven vessel underway. Keeping clear of these vessels helps prevent collisions and ensures the safe navigation of all vessels.
