USCG Exam PracticeRule 10 — Traffic Separation Schemes
Rule 10 of the Inland Navigation Rules explicitly states that it does not relieve any vessel of her obligation under which other body of rules?
- A. The vessel traffic service regulations only
- ✓ Any other Rule in subchapter ECorrect
- C. The special rules issued by the Secretary of the Navy
- D. The traffic separation scheme establishment rules only
Why B is correct
33 CFR §83.10(a) states that Rule 10 applies to traffic separation schemes and does not relieve any vessel of her obligation under any other Rule in subchapter E. This is a critical point: compliance with Rule 10 does not substitute for compliance with the steering and sailing rules or any other applicable rule.
