BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND In a crossing situation, which vessel may sound the danger signal?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — Either vessel
Rule 34(d) does not restrict the danger signal to either the stand-on or give-way vessel. If either vessel in a crossing situation is in doubt that the other is taking sufficient action to avoid collision, that vessel is obligated to sound the five short and rapid blasts immediately.
