Question 727Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND A 49 meter seagoing tug has a tow greater than 200 meters as shown in illustration D024RR below and is severely restricted in her ability to deviate from her course. Which lights would be displayed from the towing vessel?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Three white masthead lights, red-white-red all-round lights, sidelights and two towing lights.
This is correct because the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) require a seagoing tug with a tow greater than 200 meters to display three white masthead lights, red-white-red all-round lights, sidelights, and two towing lights. This is specified in Rule 24(b) of the COLREGS, which covers the lighting requirements for a vessel engaged in towing another vessel.
The other options are incorrect because they do not fully comply with the COLREGS requirements for a tug with a tow greater than 200 meters. For example, option B is missing the two towing lights, and options C and D do not include all the required lights.
