Question 502Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND What equipment for fog signals is required for a vessel 13 meters in length?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Whistle only.
According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) and the Inland Navigation Rules, a vessel 13 meters (approximately 42.6 feet) in length is required to have a whistle as the only mandatory fog signal equipment. Vessels of this size are not required to have a bell or gong for fog signals.
The other options are incorrect because they either include additional equipment (bell or gong) that is not mandated for a 13-meter vessel, or they omit the whistle, which is the sole fog signal requirement for a vessel of this size.
