BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Two power-driven vessels are crossing as shown in illustration D042RR below. Vessel "A" sounds one short blast on the whistle. Vessel "B" is which of the following in this scenario?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) stand-on vessel.
In this scenario, Vessel "A" is the give-way vessel, as it has sounded one short blast on the whistle, indicating it intends to alter course to the right. Vessel "B" is the stand-on vessel, which means it must maintain its course and speed, allowing Vessel "A" to pass safely.
The other options are incorrect because: A) Vessel "B" is not the give-way vessel, as it has the right-of-way; B) Vessel "B" is not the overtaking vessel, as it is crossing Vessel "A" at an angle; and D) Vessel "B" is not the burdened vessel, as it has the right-of-way in this crossing situation.
