USCG Exam Practice · Rule 18 — Responsibilities Between Vessels
A WIG craft is operating on the water surface in inland waters. Under Rule 18, it is treated as which type of vessel?
- AA vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver
- BA vessel not under command
- CA power-driven vessel✓ correct
- DA seaplane
Why C is correct
33 CFR §83.18(f)(ii) states that a WIG craft operating on the water surface shall comply with Rules 4–19 as a power-driven vessel. A WIG craft is separately defined in 33 CFR §83.03(m) and is distinct from a seaplane.
