BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND What shape must be shown by a fishing vessel over 20 meters in length, and has gear extending more than 150 meters horizontally outward from it?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) One cone with its apex upwards.
This is the correct answer because the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) state that a fishing vessel over 20 meters in length, with gear extending more than 150 meters horizontally outward, must display a single black cone with its apex upwards. This shape is used to indicate the presence of fishing gear that may extend a significant distance from the vessel, to warn other vessels to navigate with caution.
The other options are incorrect because they do not match the specific shape and signal required by the COLREGS for this type of fishing vessel.
