Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which lights is a vessel not under command making way at night is required to show?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of a vessel "not under command" in the Navigation Rules (unable to maneuver as required, through some exceptional circumstance) • Required lights for vessels not under command versus vessels restricted in their ability to maneuver • Difference between day shapes and night lights for special condition vessels

💭 Think About

• First, recall what color and arrangement of lights indicate that a vessel is not under command at night. Then ask yourself: does a vessel that is still making way also need the normal running lights? • Compare which answer choices use the correct color for a vessel not under command, and then see which of those, if any, add the proper navigation lights for a vessel that is moving through the water. • Eliminate any options that use colors or combinations reserved for other types of vessels, such as those restricted in their ability to maneuver or simply at anchor.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the color and number of all-round lights that identify a vessel not under command at night under the Navigation Rules (Rule 27). • Check whether a vessel "making way" must show sidelights and a stern light in addition to its special condition lights. • Confirm that you are not confusing not under command with restricted in ability to maneuver (different color patterns).
