BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel is required to show a yellow light over a white light at night?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Masthead / towing lights and how they are arranged for different operations at night • The meaning of a yellow light over a white light in the Navigation Rules (Annex I / Lights and Shapes) • Differences between lights for distress, towing, fishing, and pilot vessels

💭 Think About

• Think about which type of vessel needs to clearly show that it is restricted in maneuverability because it has something behind it. • Ask yourself: which of these vessels must warn others that another object may be following directly in line with its course? • Match each answer choice with its typical nighttime light pattern and see which one uses a yellow light in combination with a white light.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which vessel type carries a yellow towing light in addition to its stern (white) light. • Confirm that distress signals are not shown as a steady yellow-over-white navigation light combination. • Check that fishing and pilot vessels have their own distinctive light patterns that do not use yellow-over-white in the stern direction.
