How should vessels operate within narrow channels?

  1. Keep as far right as possible

  2. Sail in the middle

  3. Speed through to minimize time in the channel

  4. Randomly to confuse other vessels

The correct answer is: Keep as far right as possible

Vessels should operate within narrow channels by keeping as far right as possible. This helps to ensure there is enough space for other vessels to pass through. Option B, sailing in the middle, can impede the passage of other vessels and increase the chances of a collision. Option C, speeding through the channel, is not recommended as it may lead to accidents and damages to both the vessel and other vessels in the channel. Option D, randomly navigating through the channel, is dangerous and can cause confusion for other vessels, making navigation within the narrow channel difficult. Therefore, the best way for vessels to operate within narrow channels is by keeping as far right as possible.
