What must smaller vessels do in shipping lanes according to the Canadian Collision Regulations?

Maintain a higher-speed
Steer clear and avoid crossing
Request priority passage
Use bright lights to signal larger vessels

The correct answer is: Steer clear and avoid crossing

Smaller vessels must steer clear and avoid crossing in shipping lanes according to the Canadian Collision Regulations. This means that smaller vessels should avoid entering the path of larger vessels, and instead wait for them to pass before proceeding. Option A is incorrect because maintaining a higher speed could actually increase the risk of collisions. Option C is incorrect because smaller vessels do not have priority over larger vessels in shipping lanes. Option D is incorrect because bright lights should only be used for signaling in emergency situations, not to indicate right of way in shipping lanes. It is important for smaller vessels to follow these regulations in order to ensure safe navigation and avoid accidents with larger vessels.
