BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which is TRUE for a vessel using a traffic separation scheme?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) avoid anchoring in areas near the termination of the scheme.
The reasoning behind this is that traffic separation schemes are designed to organize maritime traffic and reduce the risk of collisions. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), vessels using a traffic separation scheme should avoid anchoring in the separation zone or near the termination of the scheme, as this could disrupt the flow of traffic and increase the risk of accidents. Options A, B, and C are either too specific or incorrect, as they do not accurately reflect the COLREGS requirements for vessels navigating within a traffic separation scheme.
