INLAND ONLY Which lights are required for a barge, not part of a composite unit, being pushed ahead?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Sidelights and a special flashing light.
According to the Inland Navigation Rules, a barge being pushed ahead, not part of a composite unit, is required to display sidelights and a special flashing light. The sidelights indicate the vessel's position, while the special flashing light alerts other vessels that the barge is being pushed and not under its own power.
The other options are incorrect because: B) includes a towing light and stern light, which are not required for a barge being pushed ahead; C) includes a stern light, which is not required; and D) does not include the required special flashing light.
