Deck General (Supplementary) USCG Q#750 (Set 14)

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND A vessel using a traffic separation scheme shall __________.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — avoid anchoring in areas near the termination of the scheme

COLREG Rule 10(h) explicitly mandates that vessels must avoid anchoring in areas located near the termination of a Traffic Separation Scheme. This prevents vessel congestion and reduces the risk of collisions right where heavy inbound and outbound commercial traffic converges and disperses.
