INTERNATIONAL ONLY Which vessel is to keep out of the way of the others?

Correct Answer: Option B — A vessel engaged in trawling

COLREG Rule 18(a) dictates that a power-driven vessel underway must keep out of the way of a vessel engaged in fishing. Trawling is a form of fishing; therefore, the trawler has the right of way over the power-driven vessel, which must take action to avoid it.
