BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which actions should a vessel that is not equipped with towing lights perform to indicated that it has another vessel in tow?

Correct Answer: Option C — shining a searchlight on the towline of the towed vessel

Rule 24(h) provides a contingency for vessels not normally engaged in towing operations.
