Question 419 Rules of the Road

The correct answer is B) One white 360° light. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), a power-driven vessel less than 7 meters in length, with a maximum speed not exceeding 7 knots, is only required to display one white 360° light. This is the minimal lighting requirement for such a small, slow-moving vessel under international navigation rules. The other options are incorrect because: A) is not a lighting requirement, C) applies to larger vessels 12 meters or more in length, and D) requires sidelights and a stern light, which is more than the minimal requirement for this small power-driven vessel.
