BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND A vessel approaching your vessel from 235° relative is in what type of situation?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — Overtaking
Rule 13 defines an overtaking situation as a vessel approaching from a direction more than 22.5 degrees abaft the beam. A relative bearing of 235 degrees is 55 degrees abaft the port beam, placing the approaching vessel clearly in the overtaking sector, regardless of the rules of the road.
