INTERNATIONAL ONLY What shape is prescribed for a vessel constrained by her draft?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — A cylinder
Rule 28 prescribes that a vessel constrained by her draft may display a cylinder as a day shape. This shape serves to alert other vessels that the ship's maneuverability is limited by the available depth and width of the navigable water in relation to her draft.
