Question 314Rules of the Road90% to pass

INLAND ONLY A barge more than 50 meters long is required to show how many white anchor lights when anchored in a Secretary approved "special anchorage area"?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 2 white anchor lights. According to the United States Coast Guard regulations, a barge more than 50 meters (approximately 164 feet) in length, when anchored in a Secretary-approved "special anchorage area," is required to display 2 white anchor lights. This requirement is specified in the navigation rules and regulations to ensure the barge's visibility and safe navigation in the designated anchorage area. The other options are incorrect because: B) 1 light is not the correct requirement for a barge over 50 meters, C) 3 lights is not the correct requirement, and D) the barge is required to display lights, so "None" is not the correct answer.
