🔍 Key Concepts

• Wing-in-ground (WIG) craft are treated as power-driven vessels under the International Rules with some special provisions • Annex I of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) covers the positioning and spacing of lights • When a vessel cannot fully comply with the exact placement of required lights, the flag State administration (government) sometimes has specific authority to decide how to adjust

💭 Think About

• Which answer choices talk about the role of the vessel’s government/administration in approving alternative light arrangements? • In the COLREGS, when a vessel cannot meet a precise spacing or positioning requirement, is it normally allowed to just omit lights, or is it expected to approximate compliance as much as possible? • Think about safety: which option keeps the vessel’s overall light pattern and meaning closest to that of an ordinary power-driven vessel?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the International Rules (COLREGS) that a WIG craft is specifically mentioned under the rules for power-driven vessels and in Annex I on lights and shapes • Check whether the rules ever say a vessel may omit required lights simply because exact spacing cannot be met • Confirm whether the rules mention administration/Contracting Government approval when exact compliance with the technical spacing requirements is not possible

Question 1 of 20

INTERNATIONAL ONLY A wing in ground (WIG) craft cannot comply with the spacing requirement for masthead lights. What is required in this situation?

The WIG's lights must comply as closely as possible, as determined by her government.

An all-round light should be substituted for the after-masthead light and the stern light.

The WIG must carry only the lights that comply with the rules; the others may be omitted.

The WIG must be altered to permit full compliance with the rules.
