BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which statement about the Navigation Rules is TRUE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above are correct.
1. The Navigation Rules, which apply to both international and inland waterways, require vessels to comply with Traffic Separation Scheme regulations (option A).
2. The Rules permit a stand-on vessel to take action prior to being in extremis, meaning that the vessel can take evasive action before the situation becomes critical (option B).
3. The Rules use the term "safe speed," which requires vessels to navigate at a speed that allows them to take proper and effective action to avoid a collision and be stopped within a distance appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions (option C).
4. Therefore, all three statements about the Navigation Rules are true.
