USCG Exam PracticeRule 18 — Responsibilities Between Vessels
Inland Rule 18 applies only under which navigational condition?
- A. Vessels operating in restricted visibility
- ✓ Vessels in sight of one anotherCorrect
- C. Vessels within a traffic separation scheme
- D. Vessels operating at night only
Why B is correct
33 CFR §83.11 states that Rules 11 through 18 apply to vessels in sight of one another. Rule 18 (§83.18) falls within that group and therefore applies only when vessels can be observed visually from one another, as defined in §83.03(k).
