90% to pass

INLAND ONLY Which light(s) shall be shown at night on a moored barge which reduces the navigable width of any channel to less than 80 meters?

A A red light placed on the two corners farthest from the bank
B Two yellow lights in a vertical line at the stern
C Two unobstructed all-round white lights
D A red light placed on all four corners
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Two unobstructed all-round white lights. According to the Inland Navigation Rules, a moored barge that reduces the navigable width of a channel to less than 80 meters is required to display two unobstructed all-round white lights at night, one at each corner of the barge farthest from the bank. This ensures that the barge is clearly visible to other vessels navigating the channel. The other options are incorrect because: A) a red light is not the appropriate color for this situation, B) yellow lights are not required, and D) four red lights would not provide the necessary visibility.
