Question 839Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND When is a fishing vessel required to show sidelights and a stern light?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) underway and making way.
According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) and the Inland Navigation Rules, a fishing vessel must show sidelights (red and green) and a stern light when it is underway and making way. This requirement applies to both international and inland waters. The vessel must have these navigation lights displayed to indicate its presence and direction of travel to other vessels in the area. The other options (A, B, and C) do not require the full set of navigation lights, as the vessel is either dead in the water, anchored, or underway but not making way.
