What to know for Meeting, Crossing, and Overtaking

Choose early, clear actions when meeting, crossing, or overtaking on restricted inland waters.

Traffic rules for narrow channels, bends, overtaking, priority, and avoiding ambiguity. 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

  • Restricted water leaves less room for late decisions
  • Commercial craft may be constrained by draught or channel
  • Overtaking needs space, visibility, and agreement where required
  • Priority does not remove the duty to avoid danger
