Question 494Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND The tow shown in illustration D024RR below is greater than 200 meters in length and severely restricts the tow vessel's ability to deviate from her course. Which shape(s) would be displayed by day from the vessel(s)?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above.
According to the International and Inland Navigation Rules, when a tow exceeds 200 meters in length and severely restricts the towing vessel's ability to deviate from its course, the towing vessel must display a ball-diamond-ball shape, and each of the barges or other vessels being towed must display a diamond shape.
The other options are incorrect because they do not fully address the requirements for a tow of this length and restriction. Option A is partially correct, but it only addresses the shape displayed by the towing vessel. Option B is incorrect, as it only mentions the diamond shape on the towing vessel. Option C is also incorrect, as it only addresses the barges, not the towing vessel.
