BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND You are overtaking a vessel at night and you see a yellow light showing above the stern light of the overtaken vessel. Which is TRUE of the vessel being overtaken?
• Rule 24 – Towing and Pushing in the Navigation Rules • Meaning of a yellow light shown above a stern light at night • Differences in lights for towing astern vs pushing ahead/towing alongside
• When a vessel is overtaking at night, what lights of the other vessel are normally visible from astern? • How does the Navigation Rules describe the color and position of additional lights for towing operations? • Which types of vessels in the answer choices are specifically assigned a yellow light in combination with the stern light?
• Verify in Rule 24 which configuration uses a yellow over white (or yellow above stern light) arrangement. • Check whether pilot vessels or dredging vessels are ever assigned a yellow light above the stern light in the Rules. • Confirm if the yellow light above the stern light is associated with astern tow or with pushing ahead/towing alongside.
