USCG Exam Practice · Rule 18 — Responsibilities Between Vessels

Under the Inland Navigation Rules, which term describes a vessel that, from the nature of her work, is restricted in her ability to maneuver and therefore unable to keep out of the way of another vessel?

  1. AVessel not under command
  2. BVessel engaged in fishing
  3. CVessel restricted in her ability to maneuver✓ correct
  4. DVessel constrained by her draft

Why C is correct

33 CFR §83.03(g) defines a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver as one which, from the nature of her work, is restricted in her ability to maneuver as required by the Rules. A vessel not under command (§83.03(f)) is unable to maneuver due to some exceptional circumstance, not the nature of her work. Vessel constrained by draft is not a defined category under the Inland Rules.
