Q

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel must show a towing light above the stern light?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Towing light definition in the Navigation Rules (color, arc, and relative position to the stern light) • Difference between astern tow, alongside tow, and pushing ahead and how each is lit • Length of tow (over or under 200 meters) and which lights that affects

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In which towing situation do the Rules specifically mention a yellow towing light above the stern light? • Consider how the stern of the towing vessel is involved in each option: Is it actually towing astern, or is it pushing/alongside? • Which options change only the number and arrangement of masthead lights versus which change the stern light/towing light combo?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the Towing Lights Rule that a towing light is a yellow light with the same characteristics as a stern light, placed above the stern light • Confirm which situations (astern, alongside, pushing) are called out for having that yellow-over-white arrangement at the stern • Check whether tow length (e.g., 150 meters) affects the requirement for a towing light at the stern, or only affects the number of masthead lights
