🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 26 – Fishing Vessels in the Navigation Rules • Difference between a vessel "engaged in fishing" and a vessel "at anchor" • Special lights or shapes that may be combined when a vessel has more than one status (e.g., fishing AND anchored)

💭 Think About

• First, recall what lights a vessel engaged in fishing must display at night when underway. What colors and arrangement are used? • Next, think about what lights a vessel at anchor must show. Are these the same as a normal power-driven vessel underway? • When a vessel is BOTH fishing and at anchor, which status takes priority for lights: the activity (fishing) or the condition (at anchor)? Or must it indicate both in some way?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up the exact wording of Rule 26 to see what additional lights a fishing vessel must show when at anchor. • Confirm whether an anchor light alone is ever sufficient to indicate a vessel that is also engaged in fishing. • Check if the described vertical light combinations in the choices match the standard pattern for fishing vessels (pay attention to colors: red, white, green, and their order).
