BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND While underway in fog, you hear the fog signal of another vessel ahead. If a risk of collision exists, which action is required by the Rules?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) slow to bare steerageway and navigate with caution.
According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), when a risk of collision exists in restricted visibility, the vessel must take action to avoid a collision. Slowing to bare steerageway and navigating with caution allows the vessel to maintain control and be prepared to take further action if necessary. The other options, such as sounding signals or stopping the engines, are not the required actions in this situation.
