Question 262Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND You are the stand-on vessel in a crossing situation. How long may you hold your course and speed?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) until action by the give-way vessel alone will not prevent collision.
According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) and the Inland Navigation Rules, the stand-on vessel, which is you in this case, must maintain its course and speed until the action by the give-way vessel alone will not prevent a collision. This is because the give-way vessel is required to take early and substantial action to avoid the collision, and the stand-on vessel should not take any action that might confuse the situation. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the COLREGS and Inland Navigation Rules regarding the responsibilities of the stand-on vessel in a crossing situation.
