🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Navigation Rules – Lights for pushing and towing alongside (Rule 24, Inland) • How sidelights are shown when two vessels are rigidly connected or alongside and seen from ahead • Meaning and placement of the special flashing light in Inland waters

💭 Think About

• From dead ahead, think about whether you see the inner sidelights between the tug and barge, or only the outermost sidelights of the combined unit. • Ask yourself: in Inland waters, when is a special flashing light required for tugs pushing or towing alongside? Does this situation meet that definition? • Mentally draw what a tug with a barge firmly alongside looks like as a single unit from ahead. Which sides are exposed to other traffic, and which lights must mark those sides?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check Rule 24 (Inland) for pushing and towing alongside, especially the requirement for a special flashing light. • Verify whether the tug and barge are treated as one composite unit for sidelights when rigidly connected or alongside, and which sidelights would actually be visible from straight ahead. • Confirm which lights are required to mark the extreme outer edges of the combined unit, not the interior junction between tug and barge.
