Deck General (Supplementary) USCG Question #1047 (Set 18)

INTERNATIONAL ONLY Two power-driven vessels are meeting. A two blast whistle signal by either vessel means __________.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — "I am altering course to port"

International Regulations differ fundamentally from Inland Rules; under COLREG Rule 34(a), a two-blast signal strictly means 'I am altering course to port' rather than requesting a starboard-to-starboard passing agreement.
