BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel should NOT impede the navigation of a power-driven vessel?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) A wing in ground craft when taking off or landing.
According to international and inland navigation rules, a wing in ground craft (a type of vessel that operates close to the surface of the water using the ground effect for lift) should not impede the navigation of a power-driven vessel. This is because power-driven vessels typically have limited maneuverability and require a clear path to navigate safely, whereas a wing in ground craft may be more maneuverable during takeoff and landing operations.
The other options are incorrect because: A) A vessel engaged in fishing is required to avoid impeding the passage of any other vessel navigating within a narrow channel or fairway. C) A sailing vessel is required to keep out of the way of a power-driven vessel. D) A vessel not under command is a vessel that is unable to maneuver as required by the rules and must be avoided by other vessels.
