Question 164Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel is NOT to impede the passage of a vessel which can only navigate safely within a narrow channel?
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, any vessel less than 20 meters in length, a vessel engaged in fishing, and any sailing vessel must not impede the passage of a vessel that can only navigate safely within a narrow channel. These vessels are required to keep out of the way of the vessel constrained by its ability to maneuver within the narrow channel. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the rules that apply in both international and inland waters.
