BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND What must be TRUE in order for a stand-on vessel to take action to avoid collision by her maneuver alone?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above.
For a stand-on vessel to take action to avoid collision by her maneuver alone, the following must be true under both the International and Inland Navigation Rules:
1) She must determine that the give-way vessel is not taking appropriate action to avoid collision.
2) She must be in sight of the give-way vessel.
3) There must be a risk of collision.
All three of these conditions must be met in order for the stand-on vessel to legally take action to avoid the collision by her own maneuver. If any one of these conditions is not met, the stand-on vessel must maintain her course and speed per the Collision Regulations.
