🔍 Key Concepts

• INLAND ONLY vs International rules for lights and shapes • Definition and characteristics of a special flashing light in the Inland Navigation Rules • Which types of towing operations require additional lighting on the towed vessel vs the pushing/towing vessel

💭 Think About

• Think about what situation the special flashing light is intended to identify to other vessels—what specific operation does it mark? • Compare what lights are shown by a vessel being towed astern versus one being pushed ahead or at anchor in a channel—who shows what? • Ask yourself: is a special flashing light more associated with towing configurations or with an anchored vessel’s status?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up the Inland Rules Annex or definitions section for special flashing light (color, flash frequency, arc of visibility). • Check which rule describes inland towing lights and see which unit (tug vs tow) carries the special flashing light. • Verify whether an anchored vessel in a fairway ever shows a special flashing light, or only anchor lights and possibly other signals.
