INTERNATIONAL ONLY Vessels "A" and "B" are meeting on a river as shown in illustration D041RR below, and will pass 1/4 mile apart. Which light on vessel "B" will you see if you are on vessel "A"?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — None of the above
Under International Rules, a power-driven vessel meeting another head-on displays masthead lights, sidelights, and a sternlight. There is no requirement for special flashing yellow lights or yellow towing lights for standard power-driven vessels. Therefore, none of the listed lights are applicable to a standard meeting situation.
