INTERNATIONAL ONLY You are in sight of another vessel in a crossing situation, and the other vessel sounds one short blast. You are going to hold course and speed. Which statement is CORRECT?

Correct Answer: Option A — Sound no whistle signal

Rule 34(a) dictates that whistle signals are only used when vessels are maneuvering to pass. If you are the stand-on vessel and intend to hold course and speed, you do not sound a signal, as no maneuver is being initiated by your vessel.
