INLAND ONLY You are on a power-driven vessel proceeding down a channel, with the current, on a river on the Great Lakes System. If you meet another power-driven vessel who is upbound, what is your responsibility?

Correct Answer: Option A — Proposing a safe way to pass

33 CFR 83.14(a) (Rule 14) mandates that on the Great Lakes and Western Rivers, the downbound vessel with the current has the right-of-way. This vessel must initiate the passing signal and propose the manner of passage, as she is better positioned to maneuver effectively in the current.
