BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND What would a vessel towing a barge show at the stern of the tow vessel?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) a towing light above the stern light.
According to the navigation rules, both international and inland, a vessel towing a barge must display a towing light above the vessel's stern light. This configuration helps other vessels identify the tow arrangement and navigate accordingly.
The other options are incorrect because: A) two towing lights in a vertical line is the configuration for a vessel engaged in towing another vessel astern, not a barge; B) only a stern light would not indicate the presence of a tow; and C) two white lights in a vertical line is the configuration for a vessel not under command, not a towing vessel.
