Q

INLAND ONLY Which of the following is TRUE for a vessel of less than 20 meters in length at anchor at night in a "special anchorage area designated by the Secretary"?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Navigation Rule 30 – Anchored Vessels and Vessels Aground • Difference between normal anchor lights and the rule for special anchorage areas designated by the Secretary • Length condition for vessels under 20 meters at anchor in inland waters

💭 Think About

• Start by recalling what anchor lights a small vessel (under 50 meters) must normally show at night when anchored in inland waters. • Now think about how the Inland Rules change that requirement when the vessel is under 20 meters and is inside a special anchorage area designated by the Secretary. • Compare which options describe the normal requirement, and which option (if any) reflects the exception that applies inside a special anchorage area.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what Rule 30 says about anchor lights for vessels under 20 meters in special anchorage areas. • Check whether a vessel in a designated special anchorage must show the same lights as when anchored outside such an area, or whether it is exempt from those normal lights. • Confirm which answer choices clearly describe normal anchor lights (one or two white all-round lights) and which, if any, describe a situation where no normal anchor light is required.
