Deck General (Supplementary) USCG Question #627 (Set 12)

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Your power-driven vessel is stopped and making no way, but is not in any way disabled. Another vessel is approaching you on your starboard beam. Which statement is TRUE?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Your vessel is the give-way vessel in a crossing situation.

A vessel stopped and making no way but fully operational does not exhibit NUC or RAM lights and remains governed by standard steering and sailing rules, acting as the give-way vessel when another crosses from its starboard beam.
