Rules of the Road USCG Question #1678 (Set 22)

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which statement is TRUE concerning a 75-meter power-driven vessel underway at night?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — She must exhibit forward and after masthead lights.

Rule 23(a)(ii) mandates that a power-driven vessel of 50 meters or more in length must exhibit a second masthead light abaft of and higher than the forward one. A 75-meter vessel falls under this requirement, necessitating both forward and after masthead lights for proper identification.
