In restricted visibility, a power-driven vessel must proceed at a safe speed to avoid collisions, allowing for effective maneuverability. The vessel should sound appropriate signals, such as short blasts on the horn, to indicate its presence to other vessels. Additionally, the vessel must maintain a lookout and be prepared to take evasive action if necessary. Compliance with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs) is crucial during such conditions.

In restricted visibility, a power-driven vessel underway is required to sound one prolonged blast every 2 minutes. This signal indicates the vessel's presence and helps prevent collisions when visibility is limited. The prolonged blast typically lasts about 4 to 6 seconds.

One prolonged and two short blasts is 'D' in Morse signals. It is a signal to be used in restricted visibility by a vessel not under command[NUC], a vessel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre[RAM], a vessel constrained by her draught, a sailing vessel, a vessel engaged in fishing and a vessel engaged in towing or pushing another vessel.
A power-driven vessel underway in restricted visibility is required to sound one prolonged blast at intervals of not more than two minutes. This signal indicates the vessel's presence and helps prevent collisions. Additionally, if the vessel is making way through the water, it may also sound two short blasts to indicate its maneuverability.
A power-driven vessel underway in restricted visibility is required to sound a prolonged blast on its whistle every two minutes. This signal typically lasts for about four to six seconds. The purpose of this sound is to alert other vessels of its presence in conditions where visibility is limited, ensuring safety on the water.
In restricted visibility, a power-driven vessel under way is required to sound one prolonged blast every 2 minutes. This signal is used to indicate the vessel's position and to alert other vessels in the vicinity. The prolonged blast lasts for about four to six seconds.
In restricted visibility, a power-driven vessel underway is required to sound one prolonged blast every 2 minutes. This signal is meant to indicate the vessel's presence to other nearby vessels in low visibility conditions. The prolonged blast lasts for about 4 to 6 seconds. This sound signal helps enhance safety by alerting others to the vessel's location, allowing for better navigation and collision avoidance.
