🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 26 – Fishing Vessels (International & Inland Navigation Rules) • Difference between trawling and other types of fishing (e.g., nets, lines, traps)** • Color order and meaning of vertical light combinations (which color is on top vs. bottom)

💭 Think About

• First, recall what light combination identifies a vessel engaged in fishing other than trawling and how it is different from a trawler. • Think about the standard phrase often used in class to remember the color order for fishing lights – which color is over which? • Look at each answer choice: which one matches the specific wording in Rule 26 for vessels fishing other than trawling and not making way?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 26 that a vessel engaged in fishing other than trawling shows two all-round lights in a vertical line. • Confirm which color is displayed on top and which is on the bottom for that type of fishing vessel. • Make sure you are not mixing this up with the lights for a trawling vessel or a vessel not under command (NUC), which also uses two all-round lights but different colors.
