INLAND ONLY Which of the following signals may be exhibited by a vessel trawling in close proximity to other fishing vessels?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Rule 26 – Fishing Vessels (special provision for vessels trawling in close proximity) • Difference between trawling lights and towing/stern lights (especially yellow towing lights) • Which lights are normally used by vessels engaged in fishing vs towing vs power-driven underway

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask yourself: is this combination of lights normally associated with a fishing vessel, a vessel engaged in trawling, or a towing situation? • Focus on the phrase “INLAND ONLY” and “trawling in close proximity to other fishing vessels” – what extra permissions or optional signals does Inland Rule 26 allow in that specific case? • Determine whether more than one of the listed light combinations can legitimately be shown by a trawler in that situation, or if only one of them fits the Inland rule wording.

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up the exact Inland wording in Rule 26 – Fishing Vessels about what a vessel trawling may exhibit when operating in close proximity to other fishing vessels. • Identify which option corresponds to the standard trawling/fishing signal (red over white) and which corresponds to towing lights (two yellow in a vertical line) and ask whether Inland allows a trawler to show towing lights in that special situation. • Verify whether two white vertical lights are ever authorized as an optional signal for trawlers in Inland waters, or if that combination belongs to a different vessel status.
