BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which statement is TRUE concerning a towing light for a vessel towing astern?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) The towing light is shown above the stern light.
According to the navigation rules, a vessel towing another vessel astern is required to exhibit a towing light in addition to the normal navigation lights. The towing light must be placed above the stern light, in a vertical line and at least 2 meters higher than the white stern light.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) Showing a stern light alone is not sufficient for a vessel towing astern, as the towing light is a required additional light.
B) The towing light must be shown in addition to, not instead of, the stern light.
D) The towing light must be placed above the stern light, not below it.
