BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel would exhibit sidelights when underway and not making way?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — A pilot vessel
Rule 29(a)(i) requires a pilot vessel underway to exhibit sidelights and a stern light regardless of whether she is making way. In contrast, vessels not under command (Rule 27), restricted in their ability to maneuver (Rule 27), or fishing (Rule 26) only show sidelights when making way.
