BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND The tow shown in illustration D024RR below is made up of inconspicuous, partly submerged vessels and is 150 meters in length. The towed vessels are less than 25 meters in breadth and less than 100 meters in length. Which lights would be displayed from the towed vessels?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) One all round white light at or near each end of each vessel towed.
This is correct based on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), Rule 24(e), which states that "a vessel being towed shall exhibit the lights prescribed in Rule 23(a)(i) and (a)(ii)." Rule 23(a)(i) and (a)(ii) require that vessels less than 50 meters in length display one all-round white light at or near the stern of the vessel.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not fully comply with the COLREGS requirements for the lighting of towed vessels that are less than 25 meters in breadth and less than 100 meters in length, as described in the question.
