When approaching a large ship, there is a risk of collision if ever bearing does not change
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
When approaching a large ship, there is a risk of collision if the bearing does not change. This is because the ship's course and speed may not be easily noticeable, especially from a distance. If the bearing remains constant, it indicates that the two vessels are on a collision course and immediate action is required to avoid a potential accident. Therefore, it is true that there is a risk of collision if the bearing does not change when approaching a large ship.Rate this question:
