BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND At night, a vessel which is less than 7 meters in length and anchored in an area where other vessels do not normally navigate is __________.
• Anchor lights – Rule 30 (Anchored Vessels) • Special provisions for vessels under 7 meters in length • Meaning of an area "where other vessels do not normally navigate"
• Ask yourself: What is the general rule for anchor lights at night, and how does Rule 30 modify it for very small vessels? • Consider why the Rules might relax or keep requirements in places where other vessels do not usually navigate. • Which of these choices actually describes an anchor light, and which describe lights used for other purposes (like underway or distress)?
• Verify in Rule 30 what is said specifically about vessels less than 7 meters at anchor. • Check which option, if any, describes a standard all-round white anchor light (fixed, not a flare). • Make sure you are not confusing underway navigation lights (sidelights, stern light) with anchor light requirements.
