Question 90Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND The Rules state that certain factors are to be taken into account when determining safe speed. Which factors are included?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) state of wind, sea, and current, and the proximity of navigational hazards.
The International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) and the Inland Navigation Rules both state that the factors to be taken into account when determining a safe speed include the state of wind, sea, and current, as well as the proximity of navigational hazards. These environmental conditions can significantly impact a vessel's handling and the time required to take necessary action to avoid a collision or grounding.
The other options are incorrect because temperature (A) and maximum attainable speed of the vessel (D) are not included in the list of factors to be considered when determining a safe speed under the navigation rules. Option B, aids to navigation, is a relevant consideration, but it is not one of the specific factors listed in the regulations.
