A fishing vessel has outlying gear (e.g. a static net or line) extending more than 150m horizontally from the vessel. What additional signal does Rule 26 require in this situation, when other fishing than trawling is being carried out?

A. No additional signal is required regardless of how far the gear extends

B. A continuous sound signal must be maintained for as long as the gear is deployed

C. The vessel must display a red flag at the maximum extent of the gear

D. An additional all-round white light or a cone apex upwards in the direction of the outlying gear, by night and day respectively, to indicate the gear's extent to approaching vessels

A. Only vessels actively trawling; vessels using static gear like pots or lines are excluded entirely

B. Any vessel licensed for commercial fishing, whether gear is in use or not

C. Any vessel carrying fishing gear of any kind, regardless of whether it is currently deployed

D. Any vessel fishing with nets, lines, trawls, or other fishing apparatus that RESTRICTS HER MANOEUVRABILITY — a vessel fishing with trolling lines or other gear that does not restrict manoeuvrability is NOT "engaged in fishing" for Rule purposes

A. A power-driven vessel underway shall keep out of the way of a vessel engaged in fishing — fishing vessels rank above ordinary power-driven and sailing vessels, but below vessels not under command, restricted in their ability to manoeuvre, and (depending on circumstances) vessels constrained by draught

B. Fishing vessels have no special standing under Rule 18 and are treated as ordinary power-driven vessels

C. A fishing vessel must always give way to a power-driven vessel underway, regardless of gear deployment

D. Fishing vessels rank above all other vessel categories with no exceptions
