INLAND ONLY A power-driven vessel when pushing ahead or towing alongside on the Western Rivers (above the Huey P. Long Bridge on the Mississippi River at mile 106.1) shall exhibit which of the following configurations?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) sidelights and two towing lights.
According to the Inland Navigation Rules, a power-driven vessel when pushing ahead or towing alongside on the Western Rivers (above the Huey P. Long Bridge on the Mississippi River at mile 106.1) is required to exhibit sidelights and two towing lights. This configuration is specified in Rule 24(c) of the Inland Navigation Rules, which governs the lighting requirements for a vessel engaged in towing.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the specific lighting requirements for a power-driven vessel towing on the Western Rivers in this scenario. Option A is missing the towing lights, option C has an extra masthead light, and option D has a stern light instead of towing lights.
