BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND What lights shall a vessel being towed astern of another vessel show at night?

Correct Answer: Option C — sidelights and a stern light

Rule 24(e) stipulates that a vessel or object being towed must exhibit sidelights and a stern light. These lights are fundamental for ensuring the towed vessel is visible to other traffic, allowing them to determine the vessel's heading and relative position during nighttime navigation in accordance with COLREGS.
