BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND The tow shown in illustration D024RR below is made up of inconspicuous, partly submerged vessels and is 150 meters in length. The towed vessels are less than 25 meters in breadth and less than 100 meters in length. Which lights would be displayed from the towed vessels?

Correct Answer: Option A — One all round white light at or near each end of each vessel towed

Rule 24(g) provides specific lighting requirements for inconspicuous, partly submerged vessels or objects being towed. For such tows, one all-round white light at or near the forward end and one at or near the after end of each vessel towed are required to ensure visibility and collision avoidance.
