BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which is TRUE of a tug boat displaying the shape shown in illustration D010RR below?

Correct Answer: Option A — has a tow that exceeds 200 meters in length

Rule 24(g) specifies that when the length of a tow exceeds 200 meters, the vessel or object being towed must exhibit a diamond shape. This shape serves as a day signal to warn other vessels of the extended length of the tow, which significantly impacts maneuverability and clearance requirements.
