Question 421Rules of the Road90% to pass
INTERNATIONAL ONLY A partially submerged object towed by a vessel, during the day, must display which of the following shapes?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) a diamond shape when the length of the tow is 200 meters or less.
According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), a partially submerged object towed by a vessel during the day must display a diamond shape when the length of the tow is 200 meters or less. This is specified in Rule 24(e) of the COLREGS. The other options are incorrect because a black ball is only required when the length of the tow exceeds 200 meters, and a diamond shape is not required when the tow length is greater than 200 meters.
