Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND A vessel may exhibit lights other than those prescribed by the Rules as long as the additional lights comply with which requirement(s)?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 20 – Application of Lights and Shapes (when extra lights are allowed) • How additional lights might affect the visibility and distinctive character of the required lights • The relationship between extra lights and maintaining a proper look-out

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: What does Rule 20 say about conditions that MUST be met before any extra lights can be shown? • Which of these options actually appears (wording or idea) in the rule, and which are just plausible-sounding but not required? • Think about whether the rule talks about the range or color of extra lights at all, or instead focuses on a different concern.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check the exact language in Rule 20(b)/(c) about additional lights and what they must not do. • Verify whether the rule mentions anything about a lesser range for extra lights. • Confirm whether the rule requires extra lights to be different colors from sidelights, or focuses instead on another specific limitation (such as not causing confusion or interference).
