INTERNATIONAL ONLY At night you sight the lights shown in illustration D066RR below. What do the lights indicate?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) A tug with a tow alongside.
The lights shown in illustration D066RR at night indicate a tug vessel with a tow vessel alongside. This is in accordance with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), which specify the navigation lights required for different types of vessels.
