Question 803 Rules of the Road
90% to passBOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND At night, you are towing a partly submerged vessel, 20 meters in length and 4 meters in breadth. What lights must you display on the towed vessel?
A
Two white lights side by side at the stern
B
A white light at the stern
C
Two red lights in a vertical line at the after end
D
A white light at the forward end and a white light at the after end
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) A white light at the forward end and a white light at the after end. This is correct because the regulations for lights on a vessel being towed at night (both International and Inland Rules) require the towed vessel to display a white light at the forward end and a white light at the after end. This ensures the towed vessel's presence and outline are visible to other vessels in the area. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully meet the lighting requirements for a towed vessel. Options A, B, and C do not specify the required two white lights, one at each end.
