BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND A vessel is exhibiting the lights shown in illustration D082RR below. Which can you conclude about the vessel?

Correct Answer: Option A — it is a fishing vessel

Rule 26(c) specifies that a vessel engaged in fishing, other than trawling, shall exhibit two all-round lights in a vertical line, the upper being red and the lower white. This configuration identifies the vessel as actively fishing, distinguishing it from trawlers or other specialized craft under the Rules.
