BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which is TRUE for barges being towed at night?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — must be lighted at all times
Rule 24(h) requires that a vessel or object being towed must exhibit sidelights and a stern light. The Rules do not provide exemptions for unmanned barges; therefore, they must be lighted at all times when being towed at night to ensure visibility and safety for all vessels.
