USCG Exam PracticeRule 18 — Responsibilities Between Vessels
Under Inland Rule 18, a vessel engaged in fishing when underway shall, so far as possible, keep out of the way of which vessel type?
- A. A power-driven vessel underway
- B. A sailing vessel underway
- ✓ A vessel restricted in her ability to maneuverCorrect
- D. A seaplane on the water
Why C is correct
33 CFR §83.18(c) requires a vessel engaged in fishing when underway to keep out of the way of a vessel not under command and a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver. Power-driven vessels and sailing vessels must keep out of the way of fishing vessels, not the reverse.
