What to know for Convoys, Tows, and Commercial Vessels
Recognise vessels that need extra room and understand why small craft should keep clear early.
Large inland craft, tows, pushed convoys, ferries, passenger vessels, and hazardous cargo signals. This module is mapped to the published course boundary for CEVNI and Inland ICC Revision and written as an independent revision aid, not official training material.
Key Points
- Commercial craft may have limited stopping or turning ability
- Tows and convoys can be much longer than they look
- Ferries and passenger vessels may have priority signals
- Hazardous cargo signs must be treated seriously
