A towing vessel is NOT required to be fitted with radar if it is _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) used solely for pollution response.
According to US Coast Guard regulations, a towing vessel is not required to be fitted with radar if it is used solely for pollution response. This is because vessels dedicated to pollution response activities are exempt from certain equipment requirements, including radar, as they are focused on their specialized mission of environmental protection rather than general towing operations.
The other options are incorrect because: A) a vessel used to assist vessels in distress would still be required to have radar, B) the length of the vessel does not determine the radar requirement, and D) a towing vessel engaged in towing alongside would still need to be equipped with radar.
