BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel would be required to show a white light from a lantern exhibited in sufficient time to prevent collision?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Navigation Rules – Part C (Lights and Shapes), especially the special provisions for vessels under oars and small vessels under 7 meters • Differences between required lights for power-driven, sailing, fishing, and oar‑driven vessels • What it means that a light may be shown "from a lantern" and "in sufficient time to prevent collision"

💭 Think About

• Which of these vessel types is specifically allowed by the Rules to use a single white lantern that can be shown in time to avoid collision, instead of having permanently displayed navigation lights? • Look at the size limits in the Rules: which of these vessels is small enough that the lighting requirement becomes more flexible? • For each option, ask yourself: does this vessel normally have to carry full navigation lights (sidelights, sternlight, etc.), or is it one of the exceptions that may simply show a white light when needed?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check in the Navigation Rules for the special provision that says a vessel may have "a torch or lighted lantern showing a white light" ready at hand. • Verify the length threshold (in meters) for small power‑driven or rowing vessels that are allowed this simpler lighting arrangement. • Confirm which of the four options clearly fits the description of a vessel under oars or a very small craft that can legally rely on a white lantern shown in time to prevent collision.
