Q

INLAND ONLY Which indicates the presence of a partly submerged object being towed?

🔍 Key Concepts

• INLAND Navigation Rules regarding towing lights and shapes • Requirements for marking partly submerged objects in tow • Differences between lights, shapes, and supplementary signals (like searchlights)

💭 Think About

• Think about which signals are mandatory to mark a partly submerged tow under the Inland Rules, not just what might be helpful. • Ask yourself: does the Rule require lights, day shapes, and/or any additional indication from the towing vessel? • Consider whether the same object might need different indications by day and by night, and how that affects these choices.

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up the Inland Rule on towing and objects being towed (Annexes as well as the main Rules). • Verify which option(s) are explicitly stated in the Inland Rules as required signals for a partly submerged object being towed. • Confirm whether a searchlight is mentioned in the Inland Rules as an authorized or recommended way to indicate the direction of the tow.
