BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which lights are shown by a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver to indicate that the vessel is making way?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Masthead lights, sidelights and stern light.
According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver must exhibit the same navigation lights as a power-driven vessel underway, which includes masthead lights, sidelights, and a stern light. This is specified in Rule 27(b)(i) of the COLREGS, which states that such a vessel "shall exhibit the lights prescribed in Rule 23 for a power-driven vessel underway."
The other options are incorrect because they do not fully comply with the COLREGS requirements for a vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver. Option A is missing the stern light, option C is missing the masthead lights and stern light, and option D is missing the masthead lights.
