INLAND ONLY Which statement is TRUE concerning the fog signal of a barge 35 meters in length, anchored in a "special anchorage area" approved by the Secretary?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — The vessel is not required to sound a fog signal.
Under Inland Navigation Rules Annex V and applicable Coast Guard regulations, vessels under 20 meters or specific barges anchored within an approved special anchorage area are exempt from sounding fog signals, as traffic density and speed limits mitigate collision risks.
