When crossing a shipping lane, at what angle should it be done?

  1. At a 45-degree angle

  2. At a 90-degree angle

  3. Directly parallel to the lane

  4. At any angle, as long as it's quick

The correct answer is: At a 90-degree angle

When crossing a shipping lane, it is important to do so at a 90-degree angle. This allows for the shortest distance across the lane and provides the best visibility for potential oncoming vessels. Crossing at a 45-degree angle may increase the chances of collisions, while crossing directly parallel to the lane can obstruct the path of other vessels. Crossing at any angle, as suggested in option D, can also be dangerous as it may be difficult to judge the speed and direction of other vessels. Therefore, option B is the safest and most effective approach.
