BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Vessel "A" and vessel "B" (which is pushing ahead) are meeting head-on as shown in illustration D008RR below. How must the vessels pass?

Correct Answer: Option B — Both vessels should alter course to starboard and pass port to port.

Rule 14 requires that when two power-driven vessels meet head-on, each shall alter her course to starboard so that each shall pass on the port side of the other. This applies regardless of the vessel's configuration, as both are power-driven vessels meeting on reciprocal or nearly reciprocal courses.
