Question 814Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Barges being towed at night must exhibit navigation lights __________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) at all times.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard navigation rules, both international and inland barges being towed at night must exhibit navigation lights at all times, regardless of whether they are manned or towed astern. This requirement is specified in the Navigation Rules and Regulations Handbook, which states that "every barge being towed or pushed ahead of a towing vessel" must display the appropriate navigation lights at night.
The other options are incorrect because: A) manned status does not affect the lighting requirement, B) the location of the barge (astern or otherwise) does not affect the lighting requirement, and C) barges must be lighted at all times when being towed at night.
