Question 428Rules of the Road90% to pass
INTERNATIONAL ONLY Which lights shall a single vessel being towed alongside show?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Sidelights and a stern light.
According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), a single vessel being towed alongside is required to show sidelights and a stern light. This is specified in Rule 24(b) of the COLREGS, which states that "a vessel being towed shall exhibit the sidelights and a sternlight."
The other options are incorrect because A) a masthead light is not required for a vessel being towed alongside, B) showing only the outboard sidelight and a stern light is not sufficient, and D) a single all-round white light does not meet the lighting requirements for a vessel being towed.
