What is NOT a basic shiphandling rule for navigating in ice concentrations on the Great Lakes?

Correct Answer: Option B — Transit ice along pressure ridges when possible.

Pressure ridges represent the thickest, most consolidated ice formations, often extending deep below the surface. Navigating through or along these ridges significantly increases the risk of hull damage and entrapment. Standard ice navigation procedures dictate avoiding these areas to maintain vessel integrity and prevent becoming beset in the ice.
