    You intend to overtake a vessel in a narrow channel. As you approach the other vessel's stern ___________.

    • You will gain speed

    • Both vessels will gain speed

    • The vessel will drift together

    • The vessels will drift apart

    Correct Answer
    A. The vessel will drift together
    Explanation
    As you approach the other vessel's stern, the vessels will drift together. This is because when you are overtaking a vessel in a narrow channel, the water displacement caused by both vessels moving in the same direction creates a suction effect between them. This suction effect causes the vessels to be drawn closer together, resulting in them drifting together.

    Whenever a course alternation is made to avoid collision, it should be:

    • Any of the choices is correct

    • A large change

    • Supplemental by speed change

    • A succession of small changes

    Correct Answer
    A. A large change
    Explanation
    When making a course alteration to avoid collision, it is important to make a large change in the course. This is because a small change may not be sufficient to avoid the collision, especially if the other vessel is also making a course alteration. A large change in the course increases the chances of creating a safe distance between the two vessels. Additionally, making a large change in the course can help to clearly communicate the intention to the other vessel, reducing the risk of misinterpretation. Therefore, a large change is the most effective and recommended approach in such situations.

    • Vessel "A" must keep out of the way of vessel "B" because "B" is fishing.

    • Both vessels are required by the Rules to keep clear of each other.

    • Vessel "A" must keep out of the way of vessel "B" because "B" is to port.

    Correct Answer
    A. Vessel "A" must keep out of the way of vessel "B" because "B" is fishing.
    Explanation
    According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), when a power-driven vessel encounters a fishing vessel, the power-driven vessel must keep out of the way of the fishing vessel. This is because the fishing vessel is engaged in fishing activities and has restricted maneuverability. Therefore, in this scenario, Vessel "A" must keep out of the way of Vessel "B" because "B" is fishing.
