Question 411Rules of the Road90% to pass
INTERNATIONAL ONLY You are on a power-driven vessel "I" as shown in illustration D036RR below. Vessel "II" is a vessel engaged in fishing within 1/2 a mile of your vessel. Which action should you take?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Change course or speed to avoid vessel "II".
The International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) require a power-driven vessel to take early and substantial action to avoid collision with a vessel engaged in fishing within 1/2 a mile, as described in the scenario. The power-driven vessel "I" must maneuver to keep well clear of the fishing vessel "II" and avoid a collision, rather than relying on the fishing vessel to take action. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not involve the necessary maneuvering to avoid the collision risk.
