Question 750 Rules of the Road

The correct answer is D) All of the above. The lighting requirements for barges being pushed ahead, vessels pushing ahead, and vessels being towed alongside are different between inland waters and international waters. This is because the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) apply in international waters, while the Inland Navigation Rules apply in inland waters. The specific lighting requirements for these situations are outlined in the respective regulations and can vary between the two sets of rules. The other answer choices are incorrect because they only address one specific situation, when the question asks about the differences in lighting requirements for all three scenarios between inland and international waters.
