🔍 Key Concepts

• Pilot vessel lights – Rule 29 (Navigation Rules) • Difference between underway, at anchor, and alongside • Meaning of “on pilotage duty”

💭 Think About

• Think about whether a pilot boat stops being on pilotage duty just because it is at anchor or alongside another vessel. • Ask yourself: are identity lights used only when moving, or whenever the vessel is actively engaged in pilot work? • Consider whether the Rules limit pilot identity lights to a specific status like underway, or if they apply more broadly.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 29 when a vessel engaged on pilotage duty is required/allowed to show the all‑round white over red lights. • Check if the Rule mentions only underway, or if it also covers situations like at anchor. • Confirm whether being alongside another vessel changes the pilot vessel’s duty status or just its position.
