Question 207Rules of the Road90% to pass
INLAND ONLY You are meeting "head-on" a tug towing a barge alongside about a mile away. In addition to the white masthead lights which other lights do you see on the tug and tow combined?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) The green and red sidelights marking each vessel and a special flashing light.
This is the correct answer because according to the Inland Navigation Rules, a tug towing a barge alongside would display, in addition to the required white masthead lights, the green and red sidelights marking each vessel (the tug and the barge) as well as a special flashing light to indicate the vessel is restricted in its ability to maneuver.
The other answer choices are incorrect because option A only includes the sidelights on the outside of the combined unit, option B is missing the special flashing light, and option D is missing the sidelights on the barge.
