🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 24 – Towing and Pushing of the Navigation Rules (lights on vessels being towed) • Meaning of “inconspicuous, partly submerged vessel or object being towed” versus an ordinary vessel in tow • How length of tow and breadth of the towed object change the required number and placement of all‑round white lights

💭 Think About

• Decide first: is each unit in the illustration treated as a normal vessel in tow, or as an inconspicuous, partly submerged object under Rule 24(g)? • Ask yourself how many lights are needed so another vessel can clearly see the full length and width of each towed object at night. • Think about why the question tells you the breadth is less than 25 m and length is less than 100 m—what parts of Rule 24(g) does that information affect?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 24 that ordinary vessels in tow show one pattern of lights, while inconspicuous, partly submerged tows show a different all‑round white light pattern. • Check carefully whether additional lights at the extremities of breadth are only required when the breadth exceeds a certain number of meters. • Confirm whether a light is required at both ends of each towed unit, or only at the forward end, for objects of the stated dimensions.
