Which type of ice is a hazard to navigation?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — Growlers
Growlers are small pieces of ice, generally less than three meters across and extending less than one meter above the water, weighing under 100 tonnes. Their low profile makes them nearly invisible on radar and visually, presenting a severe structural hazard to navigating vessels.
