Q

INLAND ONLY A fleet of moored barges extends into a navigable channel. What is the color of the lights on the barges?

🔍 Key Concepts

• INLAND Rules for barge lighting in a navigable channel • Difference between moored barge lights and lights for vessels underway or at anchor • Typical color used for marking obstructions to navigation at night

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Are these barges moving or stationary? How does that affect which lights they show? • Think about what color lights you normally see on fixed or semi-fixed obstructions in U.S. inland waters at night. • Consider: Would the lights need to be distinct from side lights (red/green) so they aren’t mistaken for a vessel’s navigation lights?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what color is used in the Inland Rules to mark barges moored in or near a channel. • Make sure you are not confusing navigation lights (red/green/white) with special obstruction lights. • Confirm that the required color is the same along the length of the fleet, not alternating or mixed.
