Question 437Rules of the Road90% to pass
INTERNATIONAL ONLY If a vessel displays three all-round red lights in a vertical line at night, during the day which shape(s) may she show?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) A cylinder.
The International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) state that a vessel displaying three all-round red lights in a vertical line at night is a vessel "not under command." During the day, such a vessel must display a shape consisting of a cylinder.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the dayshape required for a vessel displaying three vertical red lights at night. Two diamonds, two cones, or three balls would indicate different light configurations or vessel statuses under the COLREGS.
