BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND A 60-meter vessel which is trawling is required to show which of the following?
• Rule 26 – Fishing Vessels (including trawlers) in the Navigation Rules • The difference between lights for trawling and lights for fishing other than trawling • The day shape for a vessel with sails and power versus a vessel that is fishing
• Ask yourself: For a vessel that is trawling, what are the two colors and order of the special fishing lights required by Rule 26? Is it the same as for other types of fishing? • Consider whether the question is asking about the vessel’s ordinary power‑driven lights (masthead lights, sidelights, sternlight) or its special fishing lights that identify the type of operation. • Think about what day shape a vessel shows when it is a sailing vessel also using its engine, and compare that to the day shape a fishing vessel would display.
• Verify in Rule 26 whether trawling uses a green over white or red over white light combination at night. • Check whether a single cone apex down is used for a fishing vessel or for a sailing vessel under power. • Confirm if the number of masthead lights in the choices matches the special fishing signal or just the normal power‑driven lights, and which the question is really testing.
