INLAND ONLY Which statement is TRUE of a power-driven vessel proceeding downbound with the current, when meeting an upbound vessel on the Western Rivers?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) She shall propose the manner of passage.
According to the Navigation Rules for the Western Rivers, a power-driven vessel proceeding downbound with the current has the right-of-way over an upbound vessel. As the privileged vessel, the downbound vessel is required to propose the manner of passage to the upbound vessel. This ensures the safe and orderly flow of traffic on the waterway.
The other options are incorrect because B) the downbound vessel does not have to avoid impeding the upbound vessel, and C) the downbound vessel is not required to pass on the port side, as the Navigation Rules allow for passing on either side by mutual agreement.
