BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which is a key requirement when taking action to avoid collision?

Correct Answer: Option B — make sure the action is taken in enough time

Rule 8(a) mandates that any action taken to avoid collision shall be positive, made in ample time, and with due regard to the observance of good seamanship. Taking action early is critical to ensure the other vessel has sufficient time to perceive the maneuver and react accordingly.
