Question 1 GLI04 - Mate of LT 500-1600 GRT

The Correct Answer is B **Explanation for Option B (Correct Answer):** The term "vessel constrained by her draft" is a definition found in Rule 3(k) of the **International** Navigation Rules (COLREGs), which apply on the high seas and in waters connecting thereto. This specific term and definition are **omitted** from the Inland Navigation Rules (33 CFR Subchapter E), which apply only to vessels operating on the navigable waters of the United States. Therefore, "Vessel constrained by her draft" is not defined in the Inland Rules. **Explanation for Other Options (Incorrect Answers):** * **A) Seaplane:** This term is defined in the Inland Navigation Rules. Rule 3(l) defines "Seaplane" as "any aircraft designed to maneuver on the water." * **C) Restricted visibility:** This term is defined in the Inland Navigation Rules. Rule 3(m) defines "Restricted visibility" as "any condition in which visibility is impaired by fog, mist, falling snow, heavy rainstorms, sandstorms or any other similar causes." * **D) Underway:** This term is defined in the Inland Navigation Rules. Rule 3(i) defines "Underway" as meaning that "a vessel is not at anchor, made fast to the shore, or aground."
