Question 415Rules of the Road90% to pass
INTERNATIONAL ONLY Which vessel is to keep out of the way of the others?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) A vessel engaged in trawling.
According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), Rule 18, a vessel engaged in trawling, which is fishing with nets or other fishing apparatus that restricts maneuverability, must keep out of the way of other vessels. This is because a trawling vessel has limited ability to maneuver and avoid a collision.
The other options are incorrect because: A) a vessel engaged in underwater operations is not specifically required to keep out of the way, C) a vessel constrained by her draft has the right-of-way, and D) a vessel not under command is also required to keep out of the way of other vessels.
