Question 88Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND There are vessels which, to the extent necessary to carry out their work, do not have to comply with the rules regarding traffic separation schemes. Which is one of these vessels?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) servicing a submarine cable.
Vessels engaged in servicing a submarine cable are exempt from having to comply with the rules regarding traffic separation schemes, to the extent necessary to carry out their work. This is because servicing submarine cables is considered an essential activity that may require the vessel to deviate from the normal traffic pattern. The other options are incorrect because fishing vessels, vessels engaged in pilotage duty, and vessels towing another are all still required to follow the traffic separation scheme rules, unless they are granted a specific exemption.
