Question 810Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which light(s) is/are required for a vessel being towed?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) sidelights and a stern light.
Vessels being towed are required to display sidelights (a green light on the starboard side and a red light on the port side) and a stern light. This is specified in the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) and the Inland Navigation Rules, which govern the lighting requirements for vessels.
The other options are incorrect because a forward masthead light is not required for a vessel being towed (option A), and a towing light is only required for the towing vessel, not the vessel being towed (option C). Option D, which includes all of the above, is incorrect because a forward masthead light is not required.
