BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which is TRUE if your vessel is the stand-on vessel in a crossing situation?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — you must keep your course and speed
Rule 17(a)(i) mandates that where one of two vessels is to keep out of the way, the other shall keep her course and speed. As the stand-on vessel in a crossing situation, you are legally obligated to maintain your current course and speed to facilitate the give-way vessel's maneuver.
