🔍 Key Concepts

• Towing astern at night and required lights for the tow under the Navigation Rules • Difference between lighting requirements for manned vs unmanned barges • How many barges in a tow must show lights so the entire tow is visible to other vessels

💭 Think About

• Look up the specific rule in the Navigation Rules that covers towing and pushing and see what it says about lights on objects being towed astern at night. • Ask yourself: if another vessel is approaching from astern or from the side, what lights do they need to see to understand the full length and limits of the tow? • Consider whether the rule cares about whether the barge is manned or unmanned, or whether it focuses on the configuration and visibility of the tow.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what the Navigation Rules say about each barge in a tow astern at night, not just the first or last • Check whether there is any exception that says only manned barges need to be lighted • Confirm how the rules ensure that the entire tow can be detected and its extent judged in darkness
