BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND While underway you sight a vessel displaying the shapes shown in illustration D006RR below. What action should you take?

Correct Answer: Option A — stay clear, the other vessel cannot get out of the way

The shapes indicate a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver (RAM) under Rule 27. Rule 18(a)(ii) mandates that a power-driven vessel underway shall keep out of the way of a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver, as she cannot easily deviate from her current course.
