Vessels not under command and vessels restricted in their ability to maneuver are treated similarly under the Rules, as their combined status under Rule 27 reflects. The Rule 3 definition of a "vessel not under command" is that of a vessel "unable to maneuver as required" of ordinary vessels because of "exceptional circumstance." Rule 3 defines a "vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver" as one unable to keep out of the way because of "the nature of her work." In both cases, the vessel cannot physically comply with the Rules for ordinary vessels, and so they are granted special privileges. Rule 18 requires all other vessels to keep out of the way of these two classes of vessels.
