BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel is "underway" according to the Rules?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — A vessel engaged in towing, not making way
Rule 3(i) defines "underway" as any vessel that is not at anchor, made fast to the shore, or aground. A vessel engaged in towing that is stopped and not making way through the water still meets this definition and is legally underway.
