INTERNATIONAL ONLY What statement is TRUE when operating in fog and other vessels are detected by radar?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) You should maneuver in accordance with the steering and sailing rules.
This is the correct answer because when operating in fog and detecting other vessels by radar, the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) apply. The COLREGS specify the steering and sailing rules that vessels must follow to avoid collisions, including actions to take when operating in restricted visibility conditions like fog.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the requirements of the COLREGS. Specifically, making a large course change to port, determining contact courses and speeds at fixed intervals, and making a series of small course alterations are not the appropriate actions required by the regulations.
