🔍 Key Concepts

• International Rules (COLREGS) – Rule 24 for towing and pushing vessels • Day shapes for towing vs. day shapes for partially submerged objects being towed • When a diamond day shape is required in towing situations (think about tow length)

💭 Think About

• First, separate in your mind the day shapes for the towing vessel from those for the tow itself. Which one does this question ask about? • Think about how mariners at a distance know there is a long tow between two objects during the day. What shape signals that there is a long tow involved? • Ask yourself: does the rule change when the tow length exceeds 200 meters? If so, what extra indication is required and where is it shown?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm whether the question is about the vessel or the partially submerged object being towed. • Check in Rule 24 which shape indicates a tow exceeding 200 meters in length (for the connection between tug and tow). • Verify if a single black ball is ever specified as the day shape for a partially submerged object under tow, or if another shape is used instead.
