Question 380Rules of the Road90% to pass
INLAND ONLY Which statement is TRUE concerning the fog signal of a barge 35 meters in length, anchored in a "special anchorage area" approved by the Secretary?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) The vessel is not required to sound a fog signal.
According to the Inland Navigation Rules, a barge that is 35 meters or less in length, anchored in a "special anchorage area" approved by the Secretary, is not required to sound a fog signal. The Inland Navigation Rules only require fog signals for vessels 20 meters or more in length. Since the barge in this question is only 35 meters long, it is not subject to the fog signal requirement.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they describe fog signal requirements that do not apply to a barge of this size anchored in a special anchorage area.
