BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel must exhibit forward and after masthead lights when underway?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) A 200-meter sailing vessel.
According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), vessels 200 meters or more in length, regardless of whether they are power-driven or sailing vessels, must exhibit forward and after masthead lights when underway.
The other options are incorrect because: B) A 50-meter power-driven vessel is only required to exhibit one masthead light, not both forward and after; C) A 100-meter vessel engaged in fishing is required to exhibit different navigation lights, not forward and after masthead lights.
