Question 835Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND A vessel fishing at night, with gear extending more than 150 meters horizontally outwards, will show in the direction of the gear which light(s)?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) one white light.
According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), a vessel engaged in fishing at night, with gear extending more than 150 meters horizontally outwards, must show one all-round white light in the direction of the gear. This is specified in Rule 26(c) of the COLREGS.
The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) two vertical yellow lights are not the correct navigation light for a fishing vessel; C) two vertical white lights are for a vessel not engaged in fishing; and D) one yellow light would be for a vessel towing a net or other fishing gear, not one with gear extending outwards.
