BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND A fishing vessel is approaching a vessel not under command. Which statement is TRUE?

Correct Answer: Option B — The fishing vessel must keep clear of the vessel not under command.

Rule 18(a)(i) and (ii) define the hierarchy of vessels. A vessel not under command (NUC) has higher priority than a vessel engaged in fishing. Therefore, the fishing vessel is the give-way vessel and must keep clear of the NUC vessel, which is restricted in its ability to maneuver.
