INLAND ONLY Which statement is TRUE of a power-driven vessel proceeding downbound with the current, when meeting an upbound vessel on the Western Rivers?

Correct Answer: Option A — She shall propose the manner of passage.

33 CFR 83.15(b) specifies that on the Western Rivers, a power-driven vessel proceeding downbound with the current has the right of way over an upbound vessel. Consequently, the downbound vessel is responsible for initiating the passing signal and proposing the manner of passage to the upbound vessel.
