Deck General (Supplementary) USCG Question #4 (Set 1)

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND During the day, a vessel with a tow over 200 meters in length will show __________.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — a diamond shape

Under COLREGS Rule 24, long tows exceeding 200 meters demand high visibility during daylight hours. A black diamond shape must be exhibited where it can best be seen, signaling to mariners that the towing vessel and its tow have severely limited maneuverability.
