Question 802Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel must show a towing light above the stern light?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) A vessel with a 150-meter tow astern.
According to the International and Inland Navigation Rules, a vessel engaged in towing another vessel must exhibit a towing light, which is a yellow light placed as high as possible above the stern light. This requirement applies specifically to vessels with a tow that extends more than 200 meters astern. Since the question specifies a 150-meter tow, this would fall under the towing light requirement.
The other options are incorrect because a vessel pushing ahead (B) or towing alongside (C) does not require a towing light above the stern light. Additionally, (D) is incorrect as the 150-meter tow astern scenario does require the towing light.
