INLAND ONLY A power-driven vessel operating in a narrow channel with a following current on the Great Lakes or Western Rivers is meeting an upbound vessel. Which statement is TRUE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above.
In a narrow channel with a following current on the Great Lakes or Western Rivers, the downbound (power-driven) vessel has the responsibility to propose the manner and place of passage (A), initiate the required maneuvering signals (B), and has the right of way (C) over the upbound vessel, per the Inland Navigation Rules. The downbound vessel's ability to maintain control is more challenging in these conditions, so they are required to take the lead in coordinating the safe passing of the two vessels.
