BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND During the day, a vessel with a tow over 200 meters in length will show which shape(s)?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — a diamond shape
Rule 24(g) requires that a vessel or object being towed, when the length of the tow exceeds 200 meters, must exhibit a diamond shape where it can best be seen. This day-shape provides clear visual notification to other mariners regarding the extended length of the tow.
