90% to pass

INLAND ONLY At night, a barge moored in a slip used primarily for mooring purposes shall exhibit which of the following?

A A flashing yellow light at each corner
B A white light at each corner
C No required lights
D A red light at the bow and stern
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) No required lights. According to the U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Rules, a barge moored in a slip used primarily for mooring purposes is not required to exhibit any lights at night when operating INLAND ONLY. The Navigation Rules do not mandate lighting requirements for barges moored in slips, as they are considered stationary and not underway. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because A) a flashing yellow light at each corner is not required for a moored barge, B) a white light at each corner is also not a requirement, and D) a red light at the bow and stern is typically for vessels underway, not for a moored barge.
