BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND At night, which identification lights would you see on a vessel engaged in fishing, other than trawling?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — A red light over a white light
Rule 26(b)(i) 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 being white. This configuration identifies the vessel's specific operational status to other mariners at night.
