USCG Exam Practice · Rule 3 — General Definitions

Under the Inland Navigation Rules, two vessels are deemed to be 'in sight of one another' only when which condition is met?

  1. AEach vessel has the other on radar and is tracking her movement
  2. BOne vessel can be observed visually from the other✓ correct
  3. CBoth vessels are within VHF radio communication range
  4. DEach vessel can detect the other by any available means including radar

Why B is correct

33 CFR §83.03(k) states that vessels shall be deemed to be in sight of one another only when one can be observed visually from the other. Radar contact alone does not constitute being 'in sight.'
