The stand-on vessel may change course and speed at any time as it has the right-of-way.D. When the two vessels become less than half a mile apart.
When shall the stand-on vessel change course and speed?
A. After the give-way vessel sounds one blast in a crossing situation.
B. When action by the give-way vessel alone cannot prevent collision.
C. The stand-on vessel may change course and speed at any time as it has the right-of-way.
D. When the two vessels become less than half a mile apart.
题目解答
答案
B. When action by the give-way vessel alone cannot prevent collision.
解析
本题考查的是海上避碰规则中直航船改变航向和航速的时机相关知识。解题思路是需要对每个选项依据海上避碰规则进行分析判断。
- 选项A:
- 在交叉相遇局面下,让路船鸣放一短声只是一种声号表示,它并不意味着直航船就必须改变航向和航速。直航船在这种情况下仍应保持航向和航速,等待让路船采取行动。所以选项A错误。
- 选项B:
- 根据海上避碰规则,当让路船单独采取行动不能避免碰撞时,直航船就应当采取最有助于避碰的行动,包括改变航向和航速。这是为了确保船舶航行安全,避免碰撞事故的发生。所以选项B正确。
- 选项C:
- 虽然直航船在规则中有一定的优先通行权,但这并不意味着它可以随时改变航向和航速。直航船在正常情况下应保持航向和航速,只有在特定情况下才需要采取行动。随意改变航向和航速可能会导致混乱,增加碰撞的风险。所以选项C错误。
- 选项D:
- 两船距离小于半海里并不是直航船改变航向和航速的法定条件。判断直航船是否需要行动应依据是否能避免碰撞,而不是单纯的距离。所以选项D错误。
