🔍 Key Concepts

• Navigation Rules – Rule 24 (Towing and Pushing) for both International & Inland • Difference between short tow vs. tow exceeding 200 meters • Day shapes that indicate length of tow vs. shapes that indicate vessel status (e.g., restricted, sailing, at anchor)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which day shape is specifically used to show that the length of the tow is more than 200 meters? • Eliminate any shapes that you know are used for other conditions (such as sailing vessels, vessels at anchor, or vessels not under command). • Match each option with the condition it normally represents and see which one is tied to long tows in Rule 24.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check in Rule 24 (Towing and Pushing) of the Navigation Rules for the required day shape when the tow exceeds 200 meters. • Verify what two cones, apexes together are normally used for (what type of vessel/condition). • Confirm which option represents a single distinctive shape used to indicate a long tow during daylight.
