Question 379Rules of the Road90% to pass
INLAND ONLY Which statement is TRUE concerning the fog signal of a canal boat 25 meters in length, anchored in a "special anchorage area" approved by the Secretary?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) The vessel is not required to sound a fog signal.
The reasoning is that under the Inland Navigation Rules, vessels 20 meters (approximately 65 feet) or less in length, when at anchor in a "special anchorage area" approved by the Secretary, are not required to sound a fog signal. Since the canal boat in the question is 25 meters (approximately 82 feet) in length, and it is anchored in a "special anchorage area," it is not obligated to sound a fog signal.
The other options are incorrect because they describe fog signal requirements that apply to larger vessels or different situations, not to a 25-meter canal boat anchored in a designated special anchorage area.
