BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND What shape should a vessel being towed exhibit if the tow EXCEEDS 200 meters?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — One diamond
Rule 24(g) mandates that a partly submerged vessel or object being towed, which is not readily noticeable, must exhibit a diamond shape. If the length of the tow exceeds 200 meters, additional diamond shapes are required at the forward and after ends to clearly mark the tow's total length.
