BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND A power-driven vessel has on her port side a sailing vessel which is on a collision course. Which action is the power-driven vessel required to take?

Correct Answer: Option B — keep clear, passing at a safe distance

Rule 18(a)(ii) establishes that a power-driven vessel underway shall keep out of the way of a sailing vessel. As the give-way vessel, you must take early and substantial action to keep well clear, ensuring you do not impede the sailing vessel's ability to navigate safely.
