USCG Exam Practice · Rule 18 — Responsibilities Between Vessels

Under Inland Rule 18, a vessel engaged in fishing when underway is required to keep out of the way of which vessel types?

  1. AA vessel not under command and a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver✓ correct
  2. BA vessel not under command, a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver, and a sailing vessel
  3. CA power-driven vessel and a sailing vessel
  4. DA vessel not under command only

Why A is correct

33 CFR §83.18(c) states that a vessel engaged in fishing when underway shall, so far as possible, keep out of the way of a vessel not under command and a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver. A sailing vessel is not listed as a vessel that a fishing vessel must avoid under Rule 18(c).
