Rules of the Road USCG Question #279 (Set 5)

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which vessel would exhibit sidelights when underway and not making way?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — A vessel pushing ahead

Rule 24(c) states that a vessel pushing ahead or towing alongside shall exhibit sidelights. Unlike vessels not under command or engaged in dredging, which may extinguish sidelights when not making way, a vessel engaged in pushing ahead must maintain sidelights at all times while underway, regardless of her speed.
