The International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea contain the requirements for _______________.

A minimum horsepower for tugs involved in rig moves
B lighting of mobile offshore drilling units being towed
C the display of load line markings
D lights that must be displayed on anchor buoys
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) lighting of mobile offshore drilling units being towed. The International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) contain the requirements for the lights and shapes that must be displayed on various vessels, including mobile offshore drilling units (MODUs) that are being towed. The COLREGS specify the number, placement, and characteristics of the lights that must be shown on MODUs to indicate their presence and status to other vessels in the area. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not relate to the content of the COLREGS. The COLREGS do not contain requirements for minimum horsepower for tugs (choice A), display of load line markings (choice C), or lighting of anchor buoys (choice D).
