Question 153Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel shall NOT impede the passage of a vessel which can safely navigate only within a narrow channel or fairway?
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 vessel fishing, a vessel sailing, and a vessel less than 20 meters in length are all required to not impede the passage of a vessel that can safely navigate only within a narrow channel or fairway. This is because vessels that can only safely navigate within a narrow channel or fairway have the right-of-way and must be allowed to proceed without obstruction.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the rules regarding vessels in narrow channels or fairways.
