Question 873Rules of the Road90% to pass
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND A vessel towing astern and her tow are severely restricted in their ability to change course. When making way, the towing vessel will show ONLY which of the following light configurations?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above.
When a vessel is towing astern and both the towing vessel and her tow are severely restricted in their ability to change course, the towing vessel will show the following light configuration:
- Sidelights
- Stern light
- Towing light
This is in accordance with the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), which require these specific lights to be displayed by a vessel that is severely restricted in its ability to maneuver.
The other options are incorrect because they do not fully encompass the required light configuration. Option B only mentions the masthead lights, while option C refers to the lights for a vessel restricted in its ability to maneuver, which is not the complete set of lights required for a towing vessel in this situation.
